The case of 10 of the 12 Hong Kong youths who were taken back by the Chinese Communist Party after a failed attempt to smuggle them into Taiwan was heard and “pleaded guilty” at the Yantian Court in Shenzhen on the afternoon of the 28th, but the court refused to allow family members, assigned lawyers, journalists and diplomats to attend the trial, which led the British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to criticize it as a “secret trial” and the Chinese Embassy in the UK to reply The Chinese embassy in the UK responded that “China is a country governed by the rule of law”. The government’s decision to use the “secret” method to protect the rights of the people is a joke.
The government’s decision to use the “new” method to protect the rights of the people is a major step forward.
The Chinese government has a long track record in human rights issues, so every move will be scrutinized by the democratic front countries, and this time will cause so much noise for two main reasons, one is the Chinese side for the opening of the trial is repeated, originally claimed to adopt the closed-door way of trial, but suddenly changed its mouth on the day to say that the trial should be open to the public and open to the audience, but immediately added that the quota for the audience is full The message, obviously do not want to let the trial process out of the crude approach caused a lot of people from all walks of life; the second is to push the official lawyer to the trial, the official lawyer assigned not only to disappear so that the families of the trial can not contact, the trial is even the name of the official lawyer do not know, to say that it is an open and transparent trial is a total joke.
Lin Junxian said that the CCP’s response to the British allegations was the standard response of “resolutely opposing the British remarks” with the cheeky declaration that “China is a country governed by the rule of law”. The CCP’s hard-line approach may satisfy its desire for supremacy, but in an era when democracy has taken hold, the CCP’s choice to trample on human rights again and again is bound to be hated more than ever by the world.
