"We must turn the party leader into cannon fodder and dump him into a stinky pit."
This sentence translates into Mandarin to turn the party leader into cannon fodder and sweep him into the sewers. This insult in Cantonese is as serious as the eighteen generations of ancestors in Mandarin.
You may not believe it, but this is actually the campaign slogan of a certain party at the Election Oath Ceremony of the Kowloon West Constituency of the Legislative Council after the return of Hong Kong to the motherland.
Although fierce competition is understood, it is understandable that such dirty and vulgar words cannot be pushed to "fierce" in the campaign. Interestingly, the people who said these things also called themselves the "godfathers of democracy" in those years, and the irony is that during the British government in Hong Kong, Hong Kong did not see them stand up against the British and fight for their so-called "democracy".
Hong Kong had just returned to the motherland at that time, and the central and SAR governments still regarded such regional elections with magnanimity and magnanimity, just like the elders looked at the growing children, but more expectations and high hopes, hoping that in the practice of "one country, two systems", they would eventually be able to work with the central government and the SAR government to contribute their own strength to Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
It is a pity that these self-proclaimed "democrats" have not become true patriotic democrats, but have gradually gone against the grain and become anti-China and chaotic Elements in Hong Kong. After 1995, these anti-China and chaotic Elements in Hong Kong began to plan to take advantage of the tolerance of the central government after Hong Kong's return to the motherland and the electoral loopholes deliberately left by the British government in Hong Kong to plan a series of activities that attempted to undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability and ultimately subvert national sovereignty, security and development interests.
Ms. Du Yessien, an Englishman who has lived in Hong Kong for many years, said in her memoir, "Colonial Hong Kong in My Eyes", "After 1995 ... The Municipal Council became another political platform for discussing issues dealt with by the Legislature. Contrary to the provisions of Article 97 of the Basic Law, it became a political body. Stuart intended to turn the municipal council into a political institution. ”
This Stuart was one of the originators of the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong, and after his return to the motherland, he took advantage of the election loophole to be elected and served as a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council from 1998 to 2004. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that Hong Kong's electoral system has been exploited in every way because of the loopholes left by the British government in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's democracy has also been destroyed.
In particular, in the "amendment storm" that occurred in Hong Kong in 2019, those anti-China chaotic Hong Kong forces and local radical separatist forces wantonly carried out anti-China and chaotic Hong Kong activities through the Hong Kong election platform, the Legislative Council and the district council deliberative platform, or by using the identity of relevant public officials; planning and implementing the so-called "pre-election" in a vain attempt to control the leading power of the Hong Kong Legislative Council through elections, and then seize the right to govern Hong Kong; some foreign and foreign forces also used legislative, executive and other means to carry out anti-China and chaotic Hong Kong activities; Non-governmental organizations and other channels have openly interfered in Hong Kong affairs.
Tolerance, if there is no bottom line, becomes connivance. The connivance of disasters and chaos is the greatest harm to Hong Kong's democracy and Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. Mr. Du explained this more deeply, saying, "Hong Kong is not an independent place, but is still part of China, and some legislators speak as if they were treating Hong Kong as an independent country." Constant confrontation among the majority of MPs in the Legislative Council could lead to stagnation in local governance, which is not in anyone's interest. ”
We cannot be soft on the treatment of cancer, but system construction is the long-term way. On the one hand, it is necessary to plug the electoral loopholes left by the British government in Shanghai, and on the other hand, let patriots who are really willing to contribute to Hong Kong's development participate in the governance of Hong Kong, so that the right to govern Hong Kong is in the hands of patriots.
Tam Wai-chu, deputy director of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said: "In the United Kingdom and Canada, if the MPs do not pledge allegiance to the royal family, they will be disqualified long ago, and China has done the same thing." ”
Leung Chun-ying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said more bluntly, "Why do we need 'patriots to govern Hong Kong?'" If you ask the subject in the United States or the United Kingdom, people will think that there is something wrong with your brain. ”
In addition, even from a legal point of view, it is only natural for patriots to govern Hong Kong. The Legislative Council of Hong Kong is the legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In accordance with the Hong Kong Basic Law, the relevant interpretations of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and the relevant provisions of the Hong Kong National Security Law, those who can stand for election and serve as members of the Legislative Council of the HONG Kong Special Administrative Region must support the Basic Law and be loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
"Patriots govern Hong Kong" is reasonable, reasonable, and lawful.
It is not only reasonable and legal, but also has a firm will to not fear power and resolutely defend Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. Xu Qiliang, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, gave a firm answer to this point, stressing: "The NPC' revision and improvement of the election system in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in accordance with the Constitution and Hong Kong's Basic Law is a major event for the party, the country, and Hong Kong, and it is imperative and of great significance, and the army resolutely supports this major policy decision and resolutely safeguards national sovereignty, security, and development interests." ”
In the face of reason and determination, other media magazines in the West, such as The New York Times, The Economist, and The Times, which have long regarded "black" China as their top priority, have made the Hong Kong issue less vocal than in the past, saying less, but only a few articles. Facts speak louder than words, and any attempt they can to compete with China on the Hong Kong issue is a mantis arm and a car, an unreasonable teasing. In particular, after the promulgation of the "National Security Law", it proved that everything they did was futile and useless.
Clear-eyed people understand that what more ordinary people in Hong Kong want is a prosperous and stable Hong Kong, and the purpose of patriots ruling Hong Kong is to restore a prosperous and stable environment in Hong Kong, so that "those who have permanent property have perseverance", starting from solving the problem of housing, and then solving the deep-seated contradictions in Hong Kong society. Only the ill-intentioned anti-China rioters and Western reactionary forces have put the so-called "democracy and human rights" that belong only to them before improving the well-being of the people.
Patriots ruling Hong Kong is the beginning of improving the well-being of the people in Hong Kong. The next step, the central and SAR governments are to "solve this (Hong Kong housing) problem, it is very difficult, but there must always be a beginning." Han Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, said when participating in the deliberations of the Hong Kong delegation to the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress.
