After the promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, some obstinate "yellow silks" credulously believed in the superficial efforts of the Taiwan authorities, and went to Taiwan with a hot brain, only to find out that they had been deceived.
According to the Hong Kong News Network reported today (13th), today, some "yellow silk" have "gone into exile" to Western countries, and Hong Kong people who continue to stay in Taiwan are also facing the dilemma of not knowing where to go in the future...
Recently, the German media "Deutsche Welle" interviewed two Hong Kong people in Taiwan, Mark and Kelly (both pseudonyms), who participated in illegal demonstrations and violent activities during the storm over the amendment. After the promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the two came to Taiwan to evade criminal responsibility.
At that time, at the moment when the Taiwan authorities were drawing a big cake for some Hong Kong people, in public, some politicians of the Democratic Progressive Party repeatedly "raised their arms and shouted" for the Hong Kong people. Now, a few years later, many Hong Kong people have found that very little of the so-called sympathy of the Taiwan authorities has been truly implemented.
Mark knew that if he went back to Hong Kong now, he might have been arrested on the plane and his feet had not touched the hong Kong land, so he decided to stay in Taiwan. However, Taiwan is not a "long-term solution", because he only got a job residency in Taiwan, and before he signed a 3-year contract with a company, taiwan's employment residency will expire when the contract expires, "but if I am fired, unless I find a new job and sign a contract soon, I will theoretically have to roll back to Hong Kong." ”
Taiwan can't stay, Hong Kong can't go back, and Hong Kong passports are about to expire, Mark said, he is now in a "fidgety feeling, this problem is difficult for us, will be very worried about nothing after the expiration of [passports]. ”
Kelly is also in the same situation, she said that after two or three years in Taiwan has become accustomed, now it is as if you yourself have been optimistic for two or three years, thinking that you have a chance, thinking that you are integrated here, and suddenly give you a slap, telling you, no, you will find a way, "Maybe you will admit your fate when the time comes", she then stressed, "But I will not commit suicide."
In the interview, the German media also pointed out that the so-called "sympathy" of the Taiwan authorities for the Hong Kong people has not been implemented into a specific policy. Not only does not relax the relevant conditions for relocation, in the past two years, the Taiwan authorities have also tightened the policy of relocating Hong Kong people many times, and last month, the island's interior department claimed that it was ready to announce the relaxation of the employment and relocation threshold for Hong Kong people in early May.
Hong Kong media pointed out that some Hong Kong people have now had to "go into exile" to the West because of "identity issues", which these people claim is a "second blow" for them. Previously, Taiwan media also reported that some Hong Kong people moved to Taiwan and went to the United Kingdom after being deceived.
In response to Mark and Kelly's claim of disappointment in Taiwan, some netizens ridiculed, "Simply put, Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party is only a political victim of Tsai Ing-wen's mouth cannon in order to oppose the mainland's mouth cannon" and "Tsai Ing-wen's mouth cannon is just a political victim";
"After all the selections are completed, what else do you want?" "They are all self-inflicted, are you left to mess up Taiwan now?" Many Hong Kong netizens also sighed after reading it, "I knew why I had today."
The Taiwan authorities' efforts to draw a big cake for the Hong Kong people have long been exposed. According to Taiwan's United News Network, it is easy for Hong Kong people to come to Taiwan, but it is a bumpy and long road to become a "new Taiwanese" with a Taiwan identity card. Whether through investment or schooling, there will be a variety of hidden obstacles.
Hong Kong media have pointed out that today, some Hong Kong people have finally woken up to the fact that they have only become pawns of the Taiwan authorities' "anti-mainland" and "stepping stones" for re-election; after being "eaten dry and wiped clean" by the Taiwan authorities, it is now difficult to smoothly move to Taiwan, let alone "guarantee the life and work of Hong Kong people in Taiwan" as the Tsai authorities once said.
