维他奶有Dú

近日，中国香港铜锣湾发生一起持刀袭警事件，致一名警员背部严重受伤。事发后，施暴男子马上逃跑后自杀身亡。经证实该男子为维他奶公司采购部主任。

很快，一份网传内部通告显示，维他奶官方称该施暴男子“不幸逝世”，丝毫不提其暴恐行径，引发网友愤怒和抵制。

今天，维他奶官方再次发布声明，称第一份内部通告是员工私下所为。

Vitasoy Vows to Back Probe of Hong Kong Policeman’s Stabbing

Bloomberg

Soy-milk producer Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd. has pledged to support an investigation in Hong Kong into the stabbing of a policeman on July 1, as the attacker was reported to be one of its staff.

The company said that it would back the probe based on the National Security Law, according to a post on the Weibo social-media platform, adding that Hong Kong police had visited its office on Friday. The group supports the stability, prosperity and development of mainland China and Hong Kong, it said. Vitasoy’s statement early Saturday did not identify the attacker as an employee.

On Thursday -- the 24th anniversary of the former British colony’s return to Chinese rule -- a police officer was stabbed in the Causeway Bay neighborhood. The assailant was caught on a local website’s video walking up behind the officer and striking him. The attacker then stabbed himself, before being subdued by police, the government said in a statement. He was later pronounced dead. The policeman was hospitalized and is in a serious condition.

The South China Morning Post on Friday said the assailant was 50 years old and worked as a purchasing agent at Vitasoy.

In an internal communication letter on Friday, Vitasoy said an employee passed away, extending condolences to his family, news website HK01 reported, citing people that it did not identify. The company's expressions triggered an online boycott by consumers in China, with two of Vitasoy’s mainland product endorsers terminating their contracts with the soy-milk producer on Friday, HK01 said.

Vitasoy said in a separate Weibo post on Saturday that the letter was written and sent by an employee personally, without the company’s approval. The wording of the letter is “extremely inappropriate”, and the company is looking into the incident, it said.

Hong Kong Policeman Stabbed by Attacker Who Then Killed Himself

Bloomberg

Hong Kong’s leader, Carrie Lam, denounced the stabbing of a policeman in a bustling shopping street.

The Hong Kong chief executive told reporters early Friday that she condemned the knife attack the previous night on a uniformed police officer in the Causeway Bay neighborhood. The attacker was caught on a local website’s video feed walking up behind the officer around 10 p.m. and striking him from behind.

The 50-year-old assailant then stabbed himself in the chest before being subdued by police, the government said in a statement. He was pronounced dead at 11:20 p.m. Thursday. The officer was in serious condition as of noon Friday, according to a government spokesperson.

The police stepped up monitoring of online traffic to guard against copycats, the South China Morning Post newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Some social media users had already encouraged others to launch similar attacks, the Post said.

In a statement Friday, the police urged people not to promote or glorify violence, or label the attacker a martyr. Patrols were being increased at the scene of the stabbing and elsewhere, according to the statement.

A knife was recovered at the scene, the government said, and the incident is being investigated as an attempted murder and suicide. A raid of the dead man’s home recovered five suicide notes and what police said were propaganda materials, the Post reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.

根据社交媒体平台微博上的一篇文章，该公司表示将支持基于《国家安全法》的调查，并补充说香港警方已于周五到访其办事处。它说，该集团支持中国内地和香港的稳定、繁荣和发展。维他奶周六早些时候的声明没有指明袭击者是其一名员工。

On Thursday -- the 24th anniversary of the former British colony's return to Chinese rule -- a police officer was stabbed in the Causeway Bay neighborhood. The assailant was caught on a local website's video walking up behind the officer and striking him. The attacker then stabbed himself, before being subdued by police, the government said in a statement. He was later pronounced dead. The policeman was hospitalized and is in a serious condition.

周四，即前英国殖民地回归中国24周年之际，一名警察在铜锣湾（Causeway Bay）附近被刺伤。当地网站的视频显示，袭击者走到该警察身后，对他进行了袭击。政府在一份声明中说，袭击者随后刺伤了自己，然后被警察制服。他后来被宣布死亡。这名警察被送往医院，情况严重。

In an internal communication letter on Friday, Vitasoy said an employee passed away, extending condolences to his family, news website HK01 reported, citing people that it did not identify.

🎬电影《侏罗纪公园》（Jurassic Park）中的台词提到：After careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park. 仔细考虑以后 我决定不为你的公园背书。

⚠️这里补充一下，看到上面的「背书」你可能疑惑了，除了在金融上的含义，现在往往被用于政治领域。

维他奶在周六的另一条微博中说，这则通告是由一名员工私下撰写和发布的，没有经过公司批准。它说，这则通告的措辞“极为不当”，公司正在调查这一事件。
