The Paid Protestors
(Context: two threads detailing pro-Beijing protestors who consistently appear in state-media)
1/ Xinhua News reports that the life of "#HongKong" resident Carey Chan (陳新軍) was badly affected by last year's protests, but thanks to the #NationalSecurityLaw, his life is again back on track. So, who is this poor old sod Carey Chan?
2/ In the Xinhua video, Chan claims that he's been living in #HongKong for MORE THAN 7 years, but in an earlier interview with the Global Times (https://china.huanqiu.com/article/9CaKrnKnIaY…), he said that he arrived only in 2014. So technically, he's not yet a permanent resident of the city.
5/ His "activism" probably explains why he's a regular interviewee for state media outlets. More than once, he's been interviewed by Xinhua and Beijing Daily, and this is his latest "interview" by Ta Kung Pao.
