, China News Service, Hong Kong, August 16th. Since June, the "revision" disturbance in Hong Kong society has not occurred after the Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced that the amendment was "end of life" Stop immediately, and the back intensified. The atrocities committed by radical demonstrators have repeatedly hit the pillar industries of Hong Kong's economy. They are proving again and again that the real purpose of the Hong Kong chaos is nowadays-to hit Hong Kong's economy.
set the time back to nearly two months ago, and the demonstrators marched and demonstrated with the appeal of "anti-revision, anti-transmission". On June 21, Carrie Lam responded to social opinions and announced the suspension of the amendment. Since then, he has repeatedly stated that the amendment has been completely stopped, and there is no timetable for restarting, and even once released a clear statement that "the amendment has come to an end." At this point, the "anti-amendment" appeal can be said to have fully achieved its purpose.
However, did the opposition, which initially flaunted the banner of "anti-modification and anti-transmission", stop? The answer is obviously no. Since then, violence has intensified and chaos has continued to spread. Hong Kong chaos has targeted Hong Kong’s many pillar industries for repeated attacks.
Tourism is one of the four pillar industries in Hong Kong. On July 24, the "civil human rights front", which has launched many demonstrations, even sent letters to 61 foreign consulates-generals in Hong Kong and the European Union's offices in Hong Kong and Macau, calling on countries to issue travel warnings to Hong Kong. People in the tourism industry immediately denounced this absurd act of "pouring Hong Kong rice". The industry warned that it is easy to destroy Hong Kong's image and difficult to establish. They called on the FDC to "stop it as soon as possible." Ye Zhiwei, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Tourism Workers, said that since June, there have been many large-scale demonstrations, and a large number of mainland visiting groups have cancelled their itineraries, and there are leaders and tour guides that have "have no work."
Hong Kong's world-renowned air freight service has become the second goal. From August 9th, illegal demonstrators began to besiege the airport, and reached a peak on the 13th and 14th. The Hong Kong International Airport, the world's third-highest passenger traffic, suffered two long-term operational paralysis.
Hong Kong International Airport has close to 200,000 passengers entering and leaving every day, and the livelihoods of more than 800,000 Hong Kong citizens depend on the operation of the airport. From the 9th to the 13th, under the violent containment of illegal demonstrators, nearly 1,000 flights were cancelled at the Hong Kong International Airport. The Secretary for Transport and Housing of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Chen Fan, said sadly that we have achieved today's achievements after many years of hard work by Hong Kong people. Loss is quite easy, but reconstruction is very difficult.
On August 16, radical demonstrators launched another action intended to disrupt Hong Kong’s banking system and impact the linked exchange rate system. Although the impact is minimal, the financial industry is not only Hong Kong's pillar industry, but also the lifeblood of the economy. So far, it has become clear that the radical demonstrators have repeatedly attacked pillar industries and severely damaged Hong Kong's economy.
A few days ago, Wu Guangzheng, chief consultant of Wharf, wrote an article in the newspaper, clearly saying that the "main course" of "returning" is over. He wants to "continue" the movement and can only use "out of nothing" means and scripts to create a new platform.
Wu Guangzheng claimed to create political themes of "riot police and black police", create controversial and one-sided stories online with like-minded people, provoke incidents, spread all over the country, push up dissatisfaction, strike on strike, and block traffic , Pausing the operation of society, "Perfect script, perfect storm! But Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone." He wrote.
In fact, since the "anti-amendment", the opposition has been circulating the theory of "solicit speculation". The meaning of this Cantonese word is no different from "the same goes to the end, the jade is burned". Since this turmoil has evolved, Hong Kong’s economy has suffered domestic and foreign difficulties, tourism, retail, and hotels have been hit hard, the Hong Kong stock market has worsened, people’s livelihood issues have been stranded, social tears have intensified, international reputation has been damaged, and healing has been indefinite. More and more citizens believe that such chaos in Hong Kong and bringing about such chaos is the "speculation" pursued by the opposition.
"This city, our home, do you have the heart to push it into the abyss of shattered bones?" Recently, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam choked with sobs, saying so; and those who truly love Hong Kong will feel the same.
