Two Netizens in China Go Missing After Organizing YouTube Event Mocking Chinese Leader
Two Chinese netizens have reportedly gone missing since Feb. 9, after participating in a live-streaming event to mock Chinese leader Xi Jinping on YouTube, according to Radio Free Asia (RFA).
Several YouTube channels run by Chinese netizens prepared a Feb. 11 joint live-streaming session aimed at ridiculing Xi ahead of the Chinese New Year, the most important traditional festival in China. YouTube is banned in mainland China, but netizens can use VPN software to circumvent China’s internet firewall and access banned platforms.
Some of these groups said their videos were removed by YouTube ahead of the event, with the platform citing copyright violations. The channel administrators believe that YouTube was acquiescing to Chinese censorship rules.

Kwan Tai Temple in Sham Shui Po
South China Morning Post
Two former top leaders of a triad, believed to be the Wo Shing Wo gang, were among seven people arrested on Thursday in a Hong Kong temple and accused of holding a traditional initiation ceremony for a new recruit.
The six men and one woman, aged 37 to 58, were taken into custody from Kwan Tai Temple on Hai Tan Street in Sham Shui Po, where the ritual was being organised around midday.
“During the raid, police seized paper offerings, HK$100,000 (S$17,110) in cash, lai see, and a yellow paper on which triad-related phrases and oaths were written,” Superintendent Alan Chung of the Kowloon West regional crime unit said.
