China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) passed a vote to amend Hong Kong‘s electoral system on March 11 with 2,895 votes in favor, one abstention and zero votes against. In response, former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou told the media on March 12 that “this has officially consigned the concept of ‘one country, two systems’ to history and declared it dead. Chinese KMT Chairman Jiang Qichen also called on Beijing to ensure the freedom and democratization of Hong Kong in order to win the hearts and minds of the people of Hong Kong.
According to the Central News Agency, Ma Ying-jeou and former Vice President Wu Dunyi, Jiang Qichen and others went to the National Father Memorial Hall in Taipei on Friday to attend the 96th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen’s death. In the face of the changes to Hong Kong’s electoral system, Ma said that this makes the concept of “one country, two systems” proposed by former mainland Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1984 officially enter history. In other words, it is the death of it, which is regrettable.
In an interview, Jiang Qichen also expressed regret over Beijing’s approach. He once again called on the Beijing authorities to ensure freedom and democratization in Hong Kong “in order to win the hearts and minds of the people of Hong Kong. Also on the topic, Taiwan‘s Land Commission spokesman Chiu Chui-ching responded Thursday, saying, “The Chinese Communist Party promotes patriots ruling Hong Kong, which is actually the Chinese Communist Party ruling Hong Kong directly, or the so-called ‘party lovers ruling Hong Kong’.” He called on all parties concerned to stop brutally suppressing Hong Kong’s democracy and freedom, commit to maintaining Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy and honor their promises to the people of Hong Kong.
In response to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Philips Davidson’s comment during a congressional hearing on Tuesday that mainland China may invade Taiwan in the next six years, Taiwan’s Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-ching said in an interview Friday, “We must have confidence in the national army, which has certain operational procedures for building and preparing for war, including gathering research and judgment The military has certain operational procedures to prepare for war, including gathering and researching the enemy’s situation and possible actions, and will also deal with them in a step-by-step manner. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. He also pointed out that he also expects not to cause anxiety among the people of Taiwan.
