[Ye Lan, special correspondent of the Global Times in Hong Kong] Jace, the host of the Hong Kong network station, who was arrested earlier on suspicion of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law and laundering money, was arrested by the personnel of the police's National Security Department on the 7th, and should have appeared in court on the 8th, but due to his physical condition, he was postponed.

According to the Hong Kong Oriental Daily Network reported on the 8th, Jace's real name is Yin Yaosheng, the Hong Kong police officially indicted him on the 7th for 4 counts of "making acts with incitement intent", and the case appeared in court early in the West Kowloon Court on the morning of the 8th. However, because of his "own medical condition", Jace took the initiative to ask to be admitted to the East Side Hospital for medical treatment. The prosecution said that after the doctor toured the room on the 8th, he said that due to the defendant's own condition, the condition could only be assessed on the 9th. The court then postponed the case until 11 February, and if the defendant could be discharged early, he would be taken to court;

According to the indictment, Jace, 52, co-opted others in Hong Kong on August 8, 15, September 5 and October 10 last year to host and give speeches on online programmes with the intention of causing hatred or contempt for the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or provoking rebellion against them, provoking Hong Kong residents to attempt to induce changes to other matters established in Hong Kong in accordance with the law without following legal means, or encouraging others to fail to obey the law or disobey lawful orders.

Hong Kong's "Sing Tao Daily" recalled on the 8th that Jace threw out the so-called "Thousand Parents Taiwan Education Assistance" plan in February last year, trying to gather 1,000 parents to donate about 2,500 Hong Kong dollars per year to fund the tuition and living expenses needed by the Hong Kong rioters to study in Taiwan, and even find a host family. There are five or six Taiwan-partner agencies in the program, including "Taiwan independence" organizations. In November, Jace and his wife were arrested by the Hong Kong police's National Security Division on suspicion of violating hong Kong's national security law by "financing others to split the country with money or other property" and laundering money, and were subsequently released on bail pending investigation. On the 7th, the Hong Kong police arrested Jace again, who was charged with 4 counts of "making acts with incitement intent", the main content of which involves incitement, including "making, attempting to commit, preparing to commit or colluding with any person to commit acts with incitement intentions" and "publishing incitement words", etc., the first conviction can be fined HK$5,000 and imprisonment for two years, and the subsequent conviction is punishable by 3 years imprisonment.

Since the outbreak of the "Amendment Storm", some Hong Kong artists have clearly supported violent demonstrations, including Wong Yiu-ming, a member of the group "Daming Faction", Yip Tak-hsien, a "queen of the golden statues" and golden horses, and artist Wong Qiu-sheng. Wong Yiu-ming and Ip Tak-hsien's songs were removed from the mainland, and Huang Qiusheng no longer had mainland film contracts. Some of them invariably ran to Taiwan to develop, such as Hong Kong entertainer Du Wenze who went to Taiwan last December to shoot the program "Hong Kong Immigration to Taiwan Raiders"; Huang Qiusheng went to Taiwan last May to shoot the public television drama "Paradise on the Fourth Floor", revealed on Facebook that he intended to naturalize in Taiwan, and later returned to Hong Kong to move away from his residence for 20 years, and then went to Taiwan in December last year to host the program "Making Friends in a Food Truck". He claimed to open a char siu bun shop in Taiwan and open an acting school at the same time. However, Huang Qiusheng's new program did not make too many splashes outside the island. In February this year, Huang Qiusheng blew himself up in an interview with Taiwan media, saying that since the illegal "Occupy Central" in 2014, he has lived a zero income life in Hong Kong for more than six years. Some entertainment media commented that Huang Qiusheng can only make money by being active in Taiwan, and thus can see the decline of Taiwan's entertainment industry.

Hong Kong singer He Yunshi has been constantly "brushing up on the sense of existence" since she was banned. When she attended a hearing in the U.S. Congress in September 2019, she falsely accused the Hong Kong police of "indiscriminate violence" and encouraged U.S. lawmakers to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. The Hong Kong government said it "deeply regretted" the serious false accusations they made at the hearing, and a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman also criticized He Yunshi and others for embracing foreign self-esteem and opposing China and chaos in Hong Kong, urging the US side not to interfere in China's internal affairs. On September 27 of the same year, He Yunshi was splashed red paint when she went to Taipei to participate in the parade. In December, Mr. Ho, a Canadian national, claimed on Facebook that she was urged to "run away" almost every day by friends, but she wanted to stay in Hong Kong and write songs. As a result, some Hong Kong netizens bluntly said that she was "going back to Canada" because Hong Kong did not need her; and some netizens criticized her for "taking a crooked road and wanting to kill Hong Kong" and not saying that she had sneaked away so greatly.
