The biggest surprise today is that Lai Chi-ying was released on bail. The previous report was that the court had rejected the bail application, but the sudden turnaround was quite surprising.
When I first got the news, I thought, “At least the rule of law is still alive in Hong Kong.” Then, upon closer examination, I realized that the judge who heard the bail case was also the judge designated by the National Security Law, Li Yun-teng, and on second thought, I realized that this is all a trick played by the Chinese Communist Party to combine grace and power.
The use of a judge appointed by the State Security Law to hear Li Zhiying’s case is simply the regime’s way of moving the Dragon Gate. Lai was arrested for a trivial administrative error and was remanded for a four-month sentence, which is an abuse of power and a straw man. However, the police made a big deal out of it and not only arrested him, but also denied him bail and remanded him for four months, which is a legal means to achieve an ulterior motive.
Afterwards, the Department of Justice suddenly added charges of collusion with foreign powers and other serious crimes, and Lai Chi-ying’s dealings with foreign dignitaries, all before the implementation of the National Security Law, the National Security Law has long provided that there is no retrospective period, so where is the basis for the government to charge Lai Chi-ying with collusion with foreign powers? The Department of Justice has not given any explanation, and seems to think that there is no need to do so.
The case has shocked the whole world, so Hong Kong people expect that Lai Chi-ying will be in bad luck this time, and there are even rumors that he will be transferred to the mainland for trial according to the National Security Law, assuming that this is really the case, it means that the Chinese Communist Party has no bottom line in suppressing the resistance of Hong Kong people, and is ready to fight with the whole world.
But the Chinese Communist Party understands that it has a deep grudge against millions of Hong Kong people, and this grudge will be passed on for generations, and the Chinese Communist Party will never be able to solve the Hong Kong problem, and it has offended all the countries and people around the world who are pursuing universal values.
In fact, the Chinese Communist Party does not want to take things too far, the U.S. presidential election has not yet been settled, in case Biden takes power, the Chinese Communist Party still holds a ray of hope to ease relations between China and the United States. If you take things too far and make the world hate you, even if Biden wants to be a traitor in the future, it is not easy to do so. If Sino-U.S. relations deteriorate further, it will only add to the current difficult situation of the Chinese Communist Party.
Of course, the Chinese Communist Party would like to sentence Li Zhiying heavily, or even send him to jail on the mainland, but for the time being, there is a silver lining, pending the development of Sino-U.S. relations. The CCP made a lot of noise about the case in advance, putting out the trend of strict trials and harsh sentences, and then actually did it, but lifted it up heavily and put it down gently.
The Chinese Communist Party wants to achieve this goal, which is to make you scared first and surprise you later.
After all, the long confrontation of millions of people has caused a tear in the society, and Hong Kong’s international status is declining, which is not good for the CCP. Instead, it is in the best interest of the CCP that society calms down and Hong Kong can play the role of an external ATM. The relationship between China and the United States is not yet finalized, so it is good to have a line of sight, to punish Lai Chi-ying, there are still plenty of opportunities. The Chinese Communist Party is very good at turning the hand into a cloud and the hand into rain.
The judge is appointed by Lin Zheng, who cannot appoint a judge who is unreliable and disobedient. The first heavy sentence Lai Chi-ying remanded for four months, not allowed to bail, to deter Hong Kong people, and then suddenly light sentence Lai Chi-ying bail, rejected the appeal of the Department of Justice, one after another, defending each other, in fact, is the judge and the Department of Justice to cooperate: one plays the black face, the other plays the white face, a big drum show, before Christmas to send a “gift” to Hong Kong people, to win Hong Kong people A little goodwill.
Everything is a political trick, all psychological warfare, the purpose is only to manipulate the hearts of the people, that’s all, there is no other!
Anyway, it is a great thing for us that Lai Chi-ying has been released on bail. I hope he will take good care of his health and not to give the Chinese Communist Party any leverage, even though the bail conditions are harsh. With the support of millions of Hong Kong people and the backing of international justice forces, he is not isolated at all and can definitely survive.
At the same time, there is good news that the 12 young people detained in Shenzhen may be repatriated to Hong Kong. If this is true, it is similar to what happened to Li Zhiying, which proves that one inside and one outside, one caught and one released, are all calculations, and are all ploys of the Chinese Communist Party to suppress the resistance of Hong Kong people, but do not want to offend the whole world. We are certainly optimistic about this, but we do not need to have any illusions about the Chinese Communist Party.
Everything is fake, but Hong Kong people’s democracy and freedom is real. What time is it now? Grace and power can only fool children. Hong Kong people are not that stupid, grace can not buy us, nor can we be intimidated, we should do what we should do, and then see how the world changes.
