Last update date: 2020-04-21 07:00The Hong Kong and Macao Office and the Central Liaison Office bombarded Guo Rongkeng, waking up the people of Hong Kong like Mugu Chenzhong. Now the central government is determined to implement an active "one country, two systems", which is an indisputable fact for the implementation of "full governance" in Hong Kong. "One country, two systems" is based on the theory of "well water does not violate river water" before the reunification, and today's "full governance" has a marked change in its expression. Many Hong Kong people fighting for democracy can't help feeling how Hong Kong has developed to this day. In fact, politics has very similar characteristics to the epidemic prevention that Hong Kong people are familiar with. A problem may seem to be not serious at the beginning and ignored by the world, but when it develops to everyone's visibility, it may have become quite serious. Despite the seriousness of the problem, just as the epidemic prevention can fix the situation, the political problems in Hong Kong are severe at the moment, but it is not without a future.
Prevention and control problems
To understand Hong Kong's political issues, one can start with the "epidemic prevention" that Hong Kong people are familiar with. Hong Kong has long recognized that the threat of viruses is very large, so the government and society are willing to contribute to the prevention of epidemics, and the prevention and treatment of epidemics can be started at an early stage. In terms of today's international epidemic situation, Hong Kong's epidemic prevention and control can definitely be called a success. However, the early Western countries' contempt for the epidemic also caused the outbreak of the current epidemic centered on the United States and Europe. Political crises are similar to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. If society can detect problems earlier rather than wait for the problems to become serious before taking action, the results can be very different.
The cause of the current political crisis in Hong Kong is undoubtedly the return to the problems accumulated over the past 23 years. Some problems have been neglected in the past. Even if some people have issued warnings, they have not caused enough changes. Situation. Of course, this is not the responsibility of one person or one aspect. As far as the central government is concerned, the original interpretation of "one country, two systems" as "well water does not violate river water" has always adopted a very negative attitude towards the Hong Kong issue, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the current problem. The technical bureaucracy of the Hong Kong government lacks foresight, and has been unable to deal with social problems for a long time, which has caused the accumulation of popular grievances and the growth of the populist trend of thought; and the populism eventually robbed society in an extreme direction, resulting in an anti-amendment incident last year. In the past, the central government had many opportunities to actively urge the Hong Kong government to remedy the social problems caused by the rapid economic development in advance. However, the missed opportunities cannot be solved overnight.
The Central Government originally interpreted "one country, two systems" as "well water does not violate river water". It has always adopted a very negative attitude towards the Hong Kong issue, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the current problem.
On the other hand, when dealing with "one country, two systems", Hong Kong politicians and Hong Kong people also have a cognitive bias, wrongly judging the central government's adherence to the bottom line. Regardless of whether it is accepted or not, the premise of "one country, two systems" is "one country", and then the question of how to deal with "two systems". In the past, many democratic politicians have been "walking the steel line" politically, only emphasizing the two systems and autonomy, and are reluctant to talk about "one country". Although many "yellow silks" ask themselves not to support Hong Kong independence, the reality is that many pan-democratic politicians and supporters have adopted a kind of sloppy attitude towards Hong Kong independence and have not denied it. This has also forced the central government to be vigilant. It is inevitable for the Central Government to be wary of "Hong Kong independence", but the crackdown on Hong Kong independence has been criticized by local democrats as taking away freedom and interfering in Hong Kong affairs. This is naturally unacceptable to the Central Government.
What's more serious is that, under the propaganda of some politicians and political KOLs, Hong Kong politics is constantly trying to pull foreign forces to intervene in Hong Kong affairs. If "Hong Kong independence" is just a "scarecrow", then "foreign interference" is conclusive evidence. Although the democrats said they did not support Hong Kong independence, they turned a blind eye to national security issues and even took the initiative to "seek help" from foreign countries. Especially in the current situation of Sino-U.S. Wars, political actions such as attending the US Congress hearings and high-profile visits to US senators are difficult to argue that they have nothing to do with "national security." At present, the central government is holding the banner of "national security" and questioning crimes. The democrats undoubtedly set themselves on fire. If democratic politicians are really for the future of Hong Kong, rather than just pursuing their own personal interests, they should abandon these so-called "international fronts."
It's not too late to mend
Although the political problem has become quite serious, it does not mean that the problem should be left to rest. Just like the epidemic prevention, even though the epidemic prevention work has lost its opportunities and the epidemic situation has expanded, the epidemic situation can be improved as long as the sheep can be repaired. From the perspective of the central government, Hong Kong cannot continue this long. Therefore, it is determined to implement "full governance" and disturb the "one country, two systems" from a national perspective anyway. For Hong Kong people, "full governance" is not the end of "one country, two systems." As the comments of the establishment elder Jasper Jasper said on Monday (20th), the central government believes that the governance of Hong Kong has failed and the provisions of the Basic Law cannot be implemented. It can only be done by hand, but "the SAR government is well managed and the central government will certainly not interfere". The central government has repeatedly stated that "one country, two systems" is a long-term national policy. If Hong Kong can govern itself, there is no need for the central government to spend energy to worry. The "positiveness" of what is now called "active one country, two systems" is not just about the central government. Hong Kong people can also actively participate. "One country, two systems" is a flexible system. As long as Hong Kong people respect the central government's "bottom line", it is not without room for discussion.
