Why does Hong Kong become like this? The protesters asked the SAR government not to suspend the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, but to withdraw the amendment. Anyway, it has stopped. According to the demonstrators, if you change the word, isn't it over?
But things are far from that simple. Lao Hu will tell you today why the SAR government just refuses to give in. The
amendment was initiated by the SAR government, and it is really not what the central government asked the SAR government to do. In the face of serious protests, the SAR government realized that it was too hasty to initiate this amendment, so it first stated that it would suspend the amendment, and then announced a "complete suspension" of the amendment, and clearly stated that the amendment was "dying." In other words, the amendment has been turned over.
However, when the opposition saw that the SAR government had retreated, they immediately pursued the victory and put forward five major demands. The first one was to officially announce the "withdrawal of the amendments", but this is already a fake shot, because the amendments were revoked and the amendments were completely stopped. There is no actual difference in legislation. This difference in wording is to bring out the last four requirements. They are: withdraw the characterization of the June 21 conflict riot, acquit the arrested demonstrators, and establish an independent investigation committee. , Immediately plan to implement dual universal suffrage for legislators and chief executives.
analyzes these demands, the essence of which is to ensure that all violent protests are not held accountable, so as to establish absolute legal security and absolute political authority for the opposition to launch street movements. To be held accountable. And all these are means, and their ultimate goal is revealed in the tail of the five major demands, which is the absolute double universal suffrage they demand.
"One country, two systems" is a large system, and it is a product of seeking truth from facts. Hong Kong formed a capitalist system under British rule, and due to historical reasons, the economic development level in the 1980s before the return of the last century far exceeded that of the mainland. The mainland society did not have the politics and laws to directly govern Hong Kong to match the status quo of that city. Resources. We either cannot accept Hong Kong or turn Hong Kong into the mainland, leading to a large number of capital fleeing, and Hong Kong has played a special role in promoting the reform and opening up of the mainland. Therefore, "One Country, Two Systems" became the best and only option at the time.
The "one country, two systems" arrangement needs to follow two major considerations. The first is to give Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy and implement Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong. The second is to prevent the emergence of a government hostile to the central government in Hong Kong during a high degree of autonomy, which will lead to a constitutional crisis. Therefore, for the general election of the chief executive, the Basic Law has set a timetable while stipulating the candidates, the core of which is that non-constructive extreme opposition persons cannot stand for the chief executive. This is the focus of the struggle in the 2014 "Occupy Central" crisis.
Everyone knows that there is a group of opposition in Hong Kong inciting some people to take to the streets to make trouble. Compared with the overall "mution" of the SAR government and the Legislative Council and the confrontation between the central authorities, they are completely two things. The conditions set by the Basic Law for double universal suffrage are to prevent the latter from happening. As long as Hong Kong maintains harmony with the country as a whole, everything is OK. The country does not care about what Hong Kong does, and it has no interest in managing it. What the central government can do is try to arrange more favorable conditions for Hong Kong to catch the express train of economic development in the Mainland.
However, what the extreme opposition in Hong Kong is most concerned about is the double universal suffrage they demand without any conditions. This time they used the "anti-sent to China" to instigate a considerable part of the people in Hong Kong and seriously challenged the rule of law in Hong Kong. They wanted to use the boycott movement to force the central government to resurrect its ambition to agree to absolute double universal suffrage. This is their real goal.
The young people in Hong Kong rushing in front are not sure where the street sports they are participating in are in the big politics. They are concocted by "rebels" and the labels of "democracy" and "freedom". Excited by the slogan. In fact, the extreme opposition who took advantage of these young people's scheming plans have long since ceased to care about the amendment. It has already "dead end". What is the point of opposing it? But we can continue to use this slogan to seize the inertia of the huge energy of the "returning" street movement and launch a new and more ferocious charge towards the double general election. Is the essence of the
problem clear now? The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government did not make concessions, but after it gave one step, the opposition demanded more concessions. If the “complete cessation” amendment is now changed to “withdraw” the amendment as required by the opposition, the opposition will definitely demand that the other provisions be surrendered together, and their enthusiasm for the absolute double universal suffrage will definitely increase. This has no head at all.
Some people say that if it doesn’t work, let Hong Kong choose whatever you want.. Well, the basic law of the regime rotation system is that there will be a day when political opposition will come to power. It will mean that sooner or later an anti-Beijing, pro-US and Western Hong Kong regime will emerge. Become a day when Washington subverts China's bridgehead. This is not something that the country can avoid by doing a good job in Hong Kong. This is the script and plot that the basic political laws will never miss.
"One country, two systems" is a new thing and a huge challenge. The country wants to truly strengthen the bottom line thinking, it should help us to be open-minded, not anxious. The return of Hong Kong to the motherland is definitely a good thing for this country in general. How can it become a bad thing? The United States now hopes to turn Hong Kong's return into China's troubles and bad things, but the initiative of flexibility lies in China's hands. Hong Kong should get better and better, but even if it really messes up, it won't mess up the Chinese mainland. If we master this, the initiative in the Hong Kong issue will always be in our hands.
