But last year she made up her mind to leave it all behind and move her family to Brit- ain, and not even a global pan- demic was going to sway her decision. “To uproot ourselves like this is definitely not easy. But things got uglier last year, the government was really driv- ing us away,” said the business- woman and mother of two young children who didn’t give her family name because she feared repercussions for speak- ing out against the Chinese government. “Everything we value — freedom of speech, fair elections, liberties — has been eroded. It’s no longer the Hong Kong we knew; it’s no longer somewhere we can call home.” Cindy, who landed in Lon- don last week, is one of thou- sands of Hong Kongers fleeing their hometown since Beijing imposed a draconian national security law on the territory last summer. Some are leaving because they fear punishment for sup- porting pro-democracy pro- tests. But many others, like her, say China’s encroachment on their way of life and civil liberties has become unbear- able, and they want to seek a better future for their children abroad. Most say they don’t plan to ever go back. Many firmed up their exit plans after Britain announced in July that it would open a spe- cial immigration pathway for up to 5 million eligible Hong Kongers to live, work and even- tually settle in the U.K. Prime Minister Boris John- son said this week the offer shows Britain is honoring its “profound ties of history” with Hong Kong, a former colony that reverted to Chinese rule in 1997 on the understanding that it would retain its West- ern-style freedoms and much of its political autonomy not seen on mainland China. Applications for the British National Overseas visa offi- cially opened Sunday, though many like Cindy have already arrived on British soil to get a head start. Eligible Hong Kongers can currently come to the U.K. for six months, but from Sunday they can apply for the right to live and work in Yesterday Hi/Lo/Prec. 31/27/0.16 51/43/0.89 28/8/0.03 56/37/0.02 38/23/0.17 38/28/0.00 59/46/0.10 64/44/0.00 43/27/0.10 32/21/0.02 60/46/0.23 75/58/0.00 34/30/0.02 33/23/0.02 51/32/0.06 73/47/0.00 32/17/0.00 34/16/0.00 38/29/0.00 67/47/0.10 39/34/Tr 72/45/0.00 67/41/0.00 36/30/0.70 35/19/0.00 62/43/0.04 30/8/0.00 19/7/0.00 23/8/0.00 44/21/0.00 38/20/0.02 43/24/0.01 40/18/0.00 25/6/0.03 59/40/0.00 44/35/1.05 43/32/0.38 76/59/0.00 62/45/Tr 58/47/0.00 62/41/0.00 44/25/Tr 59/31/0.00 50/41/0.15 30/27/0.00 41/32/0.01 52/41/0.65 72/50/0.00 61/41/0.16 65/49/0.63 40/24/0.00 52/44/1.04 42/27/Tr 65/42/0.00 Today Hi/Lo/W 32/18/c 35/26/c 29/20/sn 57/45/s 46/29/r 33/14/c 49/34/pc 68/54/pc 47/31/r 31/18/sn 51/35/c 78/67/c 33/26/sn 33/21/sn 56/35/c 71/44/pc 28/26/pc 28/25/sn 49/42/r 45/28/pc 33/17/c 76/60/pc 68/53/pc 34/24/sn 31/29/sn 72/53/pc 31/27/sn 26/14/s 26/20/s 41/35/r 47/19/s 44/30/pc 37/34/sn 22/16/c 61/45/pc 39/31/sn 43/27/s 71/42/s 67/53/pc 60/49/pc 62/46/pc 46/23/s 68/49/t 51/45/r 30/15/c 44/36/r 35/28/c 74/59/pc 72/52/pc 44/29/c 35/33/sn 41/25/pc 46/37/sn 69/51/pc Monday Hi/Lo/W 27/16/sn 40/23/pc 27/11/c 59/44/c 31/23/sf 35/20/s 49/29/s 70/50/c 34/26/sf 29/14/pc 42/28/pc 74/49/c 32/21/c 29/15/pc 39/29/c 56/41/s 34/31/sn 34/31/sn 46/35/r 51/35/pc 32/20/pc 63/40/pc 72/54/pc 32/17/pc 34/31/sn 74/56/c 33/22/sn 32/29/c 36/34/sn 42/33/sn 47/23/pc 49/34/pc 40/31/c 26/22/sn 62/50/r 37/25/pc 46/33/c 66/36/s 67/53/c 60/52/r 62/51/c 48/29/pc 52/36/pc 50/43/sh 33/19/pc 47/39/r 39/22/s 61/46/c 76/53/pc 49/31/s 38/33/sn 49/31/pc 51/35/r 73/53/c 82/57/0.00 75/50/0.00 10/3/0.08 28/24/0.30 81/54/0.00 73/63/0.00 68/45/0.00 47/28/0.02 16/5/0.04 10/-2/0.00 55/45/0.56 95/79/0.00 61/45/0.22 73/56/0.79 90/72/0.00 32/23/0.17 41/16/0.00 58/36/0.00 86/77/0.08 18/14/0.04 83/68/0.01 75/59/0.00 63/50/0.08 47/36/0.00 28/9/0.02 44/41/0.14 50/45/0.18 30/25/0.43 86/61/s 74/50/pc 13/1/s 28/24/sn 82/56/pc 77/69/pc 68/46/pc 51/32/sh 17/3/s 13/-1/s 49/46/r 90/78/s 56/42/sh 71/54/r 88/70/pc 29/14/sf 49/39/pc 63/50/pc 85/76/t 18/11/sf 75/70/t 79/57/s 67/54/pc 53/36/s 23/14/c 46/41/r 35/21/c 29/9/pc 88/68/s 67/39/pc 22/18/s 27/12/pc 82/56/pc 79/58/pc 71/47/pc 61/47/pc 17/3/pc 22/13/s 52/46/r 88/78/pc 57/42/sh 72/55/pc 88/69/t 40/28/sn 51/15/c 52/39/r 85/77/t 19/10/pc 80/69/pc 78/59/pc 76/58/s 55/52/s 27/17/sf 47/41/r 39/29/pc 25/19/pc INTERNATIONAL 48 contiguous states) National high: 91° at Kingsville, TX National low: -15° at Glens Falls, NY Precipitation: 1.28" at Coffeyville, KS T-storms Cloudy; snow and ice at night TRAVEL WEATHER Umatilla 58/50 Rufus Hermiston 53/42 58/50 57/43 Arlington Hillsboro Portland Meacham Lostine 53/42 51/46 53/48 44/39 Wasco 47/36 Enterprise Pendleton The Dalles CENTRAL: Cloudy Tillamook 45/37 56/42 57/51 Sandy 54/42 McMinnville 52/45 Sunday with a little Joseph Heppner La Grande 53/48 Maupin Government 52/48 rain later in the day. 44/40 43/37 Camp 56/40 Condon 55/50 Union Lincoln City A little rain Sunday 49/40 44/38 44/38 Salem 51/45 Spray night.

After that, they can apply for settled status and then British citizen- ship. Britain’s government said some 7,000 people with Brit- ish National Overseas (BNO) status have arrived since July. It estimates that over 300,000 people will take up the offer of extended residency rights in the next five years. Cindy said she wanted to leave as soon as possible be- cause she feared Beijing would soon move to halt the exodus. “The Chinese government said it hasn’t ruled out harsher tactics,” she said. “I think they could lash out if tens of thousands of young profes- sionals start leaving, because that would surely upset Hong Kong’s economy and they wouldn’t like that at all.” Beijing said Friday it will no longer recognize the BNO passport as a travel document or form of identification, and criticized Britain’s citizenship offer as a move that “seriously infringed” on China’s sover- eignty. It was unclear what ef- fect the announcement would have because many Hong Kongers carry multiple pass- ports.

The two representing Trump will be defense lawyer David Schoen, a frequent television legal commentator, and Bruce Castor, a former district attor- ney in Pennsylvania who was criticized for his decision to not charge actor Bill Cosby in a sex crimes case. Both attor- neys issued statements through Trump’s office saying that they were honored to take the job. “The strength of our Consti- tution is about to be tested like never before in our history. It is strong and resilient. A docu- ment written for the ages, and it will triumph over partisanship yet again, and always,” said Cas- tor, who served as district attor- ney for Montgomery County, outside of Philadelphia, from 2000 to 2008. The announcement Sun- day was intended to promote a sense of stability surrounding the Trump defense team as his impeachment trial nears. Sev- eral South Carolina lawyers had been set to represent him at the trial, which starts the week of Feb. 8. Trump, the first president in American history to be im- peached twice, is set to stand trial in the Senate on a charge that he incited his supporters to storm Congress on Jan. 6 as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden’s electoral victory. Republicans and Trump aides have made clear that they intend to make a simple argu- ment in the trial: Trump’s trial is unconstitutional because he is no longer in office. — Associated Press Exhibitor Showcase Equipment Showcase REGISTER TODAY AT ENTER TO WIN A $500 COASTAL GIFT CARD Agri-Business Showcase Learning Center NorthwestAgShow.com Major Sponsors Simply register to at end at NorthwestAgShow.com NorthwestAgShow.com | 800-882-6789 | #NWAGShow
