Tuesday's World Events - January 26, 2021
NOTE: Before answering the following questions, read the info under “Background” and see the links under “Resources” below.
1. List the who, what, where and when of the news report.
2. What is the aim of the organization StudentPoliticism, which was founded by Wong?
3. What did the Communist authorities in China ask Wong’s family and friends? What warning did they give them?
4. How did Wong respond to the questioning of his family and friends by Chinese authorities?
5. The CCP is the Chinese Communist Party; the government of China.
Considering the CCP’s treatment of its own citizens, ethnic Uighur Muslims in China, the people of Hong Kong and others who call for freedom and democracy, why do you think Twitter, Facebook and Instagram do not permanently ban all Chinese government officials, since they had no problem banning President Trump (and many other Trump supporters) for questioning U.S. election results?
