of not just spending on yellow shops, but also refusing their blue counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, whether to boycott and what to boycott become constant debates in both Hong Kong and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some shops are labelled as blue because of the owners or staff\u2019s Chinese background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnny says he doesn\u2019t boycott shops because they\u2019re run by Chinese owners in the UK as they may support the pro-democracy movement but are not dare to openly speak out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnny says a lot of old Chinese overseas assisted him to start the restaurant. \u201cActually they share the same viewpoints with us, but they\u2019re convenient to support us openly,\u201d says Johnny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese government has targeted <a

as Terry was triggered to set up the map to label blue shops after a confrontation between the Chinese and Hong Kong communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a rally to commemorate a special day of

or blue shop to the map can submit the shop\u2019s information with justification to Justitia Hong Kong via a Google Form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terry says they trust the people who report and don&#8217;t fact-check the information reported and didn&#8217;t plan to do so. &#8221; In the beginning, we didn\u2019t want to be an authority to say who is yellow and who is blue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the map, there is a shop that is labelled as blue with a short sentence saying the owner supports the Chinese government. On the other hand, there are other shops with more detailed descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terry says there may be a need to send people to fact-check the information. But the organisation doesn\u2019t have the people and resources to do it at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The limited resources also restrict the number of shops that are shown on the map. After a year of running the map, Terry thinks the map is doing so-so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have somehow ignored the map as I think it\u2019s not that urgent,\u201d says Terry. He thinks it\u2019s more important for the organisation to focus on helping Hongkongers to settle down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terry doesn&#8217;t have a plan yet to expand the map and is not sure about the development of the yellow economic circle in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the map, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hiandseek.uk\/\">magazine<\/a> introducing businesses owned by Hongkongers have founded, claiming to be the first of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even back in Hong Kong, it is never easy to affect the economic system, which is dominated by large corporations, which have openly supported the government&#8217;s suppression of demonstrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maxim, for example, is one of the biggest corporations in Hong Kong and has been deemed a blue shop. It covers everything from groceries to eateries and also runs the branch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-10-16\/how-a-hong-kong-heiress-triggered-a-starbucks-backlash#xj4y7vzkg\">Starbucks<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As tempers flared during the 2019 Protest, Maxim&#8217;s Starbucks were a frequent target of vandalism. Nonetheless, Maxim is still running its business as usual and continues to be one of the most influential corporations in Hong Kong today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Hongkong_MTR_protest-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Protesters vandalised the metro as the company cooperated with the police tactics.

The call aims to reduce Chinese influence on the international economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2016, the Chinese government has imprisoned a million or more ethnic Uyghurs and Turkic in camps. Some of them have worked as forced labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoiding from products that have a \u201cmade in China\u201d label, according to Johnny, is impossible. \u201cTo be honest, any ordinary people know it\u2019s impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From furniture to clothes, to Covid test kits, China is the world&#8217;s manufacturing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chart\/20858\/top-10-countries-by-share-of-global-manufacturing-output\/\">superpower<\/a>. For Johnny&#8217;s restaurant, it may be even harder to avoid using Chinese products as Hong Kong dishes have a level of proximity to the Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo what do we do? We will try to use substitutes,\u201d says Johnny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sizzling Chicken Pot, one of the dishes that his restaurant serves, requires Shaoxing Wine, a Chinese wine, as an ingredient. &#8220;Then we end up with a fusion style, we use whisky,&#8221; said Johnny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To expand the yellow economic circle in the UK, Johnny is trying to help others to grow their businesses as well. He has recently opened the corner on the first floor of his restaurant as a small grocery store for other Hong Kong start-up businesses to sell their products for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnny says he is willing to provide spaces for like-minded people who dare to speak out openly to grow their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in Hong Kong, yellow shops have become <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/07\/21\/hong-kong-protesters-adapt-signs-slogans-to-skirt-new-law\/\">restrained<\/a> to speak out since a new law targeting dissidents was imposed in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets and events featuring yellow shops are getting smaller and less frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There&#39;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/YellowEconomicCircle?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#YellowEconomicCircle<\/a> market bazaar thing going on in Mongkok.
