The annual Central Economic Work Conference (CEWC) was held in Beijing on December 16. As always, the CEWC reviewed the year s economic development and planned for the next year (2021). However, 2020 has been an extraordinary year to say the least, with a global pandemic of a century still raging around the world as we speak, thus accelerating the paradigm shift of an era in global power balance. Let s not forget this is also the year the nation of 1.4 billion winds up efforts to achieve one of two centenary goals in order to begin the journey toward another centenary goal in 2021.
Taipei, Taiwan – The night was once Ted’s greatest enemy.
For months, after fleeing to Taiwan from the front lines of the Hong Kong protests, Ted was haunted by a recurring nightmare. He dreamed that he was trapped inside a glowing ring. Beside him, his fellow protesters were being beaten, tortured and raped by the police, but he was unable to move. Unable to help, he could only watch.
Ted would wake up yelling from his little bunk bed in Taipei, and find himself covered in a cold sweat; alone and safe.
The 22 year old is among roughly 200 people the Taiwan Association for Human Rights estimates have fled Hong Kong for the island after participating in the pro-democracy protests, which began in June last year amid mass opposition to a bill that would have allowed suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial.
