Hong Kong is shuffling into a new dynasty. You say it’s already one country, one system, but the Chinese side says: still playing one country, two systems.
There’s nothing wrong with saying one country, one system, but there’s nothing wrong with the Chinese side saying it’s still one country, two systems. From China’s point of view, the first version of “one country, two systems” negotiated by Mrs. Margaret THATCHER and Deng Xiaoping has ended on the day the “National Security Law” was passed. Today, Hong Kong enters the post-Deng era, the second version of “one country, two systems” as defined by Xi Jinping.
The second version of the post-Deng Xiaoping era of “one country, two systems” is characterized by the abolition of the freedom of speech and association in the democratic system that the Chinese side had reluctantly allowed you to retain. But on the other hand, Hong Kong as a simple tax system, low tax or even tax-free free trade port; Hong Kong currency to maintain a peg with the U.S. dollar freely convertible intermediary currency, everything remains the same.
The rule of law, caught in the middle, is a more sensitive issue. China believes that even with the judicial clearances, including the selection of Hong Kong judges, Western money will still come in as long as Hong Kong maintains the rest of its economic and financial freedom regime.
Because China believes: In Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew never allowed criticism of the government, and Singapore’s courts will not have independent political decisions. The Far Eastern Economic Review once criticized Lee Kuan Yew and was sued for defamation by the Singaporean government, but the Singaporean court still found him guilty of defamation. The Chinese side thinks: After 1997, I have allowed Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy, which is much more lenient than that of Singapore, but the pan-democrats in Hong Kong and some of the forces behind the scenes, as they think, are still trying to take advantage of the situation. So, the Chinese side can not stand it, this Time the Chinese side personally came down to the scene, the team of Carrie Lam or something together to a violent push aside, they moved a chair to sit down, rolled up their sleeves, one hand grabbed the hands of Carrie Lam and then the whole get a deck of playing cards, a slap on the table, directly with the United States and the West to dry.
So do we want the opposition in the future? Of course. A big boss operating companies, will not fully trust the CEO. big boss does not want the CEO and his deputy love like brothers, two senior wage earners to worship brothers, will only make the senior B and senior A discord, B to play A’s small report, A also and B is at loggerheads. B against A can, because I want to know from B’s mouth what A in the ghost, the number of handed over whether it is true, I can divide and rule, but B can not take my factory also want to tear down.
So the opposition in Hong Kong is also the opposition as redefined in China. Old opposition like Fung Chi-kei, Tee Chi-yuen, Cheng Kar-foo, Shan Chung-kai will be allowed to resume. The June 4 candlelight vigil will be suspended for two or three years.
After all, Jin Yong novels also rewritten two or three times, changed to Huang Yao Shi actually had a leg with Mei Chaofeng, readers like it or not does not matter, but the author is older, the mentality has changed, the author likes.
Novel readers did not object to the voice, and yet so. Not to mention Hong Kong politics.
