Last updated: 2019-11-28 05:55The dust of the district council election was settled, and the formation camp was severely defeated. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times newspaper in the mainland, stated in his talk show that many mainland audiences expressed dissatisfaction with the election results, arguing that things in Hong Kong were a bit procrastinating and that riot control was not progressing well, but the opposition has expanded its territory. However, Hu Xijin emphasized that "thugs" and their supporters are not capable of undermining the country's constitutional control over Hong Kong. The Hong Kong constitution is still firmly established under the Basic Law and urges the mainland people to have confidence because "Hong Kong can never change the sky."
Hu Xijin talked about the results of the Hong Kong district election in his talk show "Hu Kan". He said that when the Mainland was paying close attention to Hong Kong, this result caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, and many people expressed dissatisfaction with it, "there are also some emotions"; but he thinks this is very normal because "everyone is patriotic I hope Hong Kong is good, too. ”Mainland public opinion is“ arguably full of positive energy ”on the Hong Kong issue, and proposes to examine the Hong Kong issue from three perspectives:
International perspective
Hu Xijin believes that the capitalist system of Hong Kong society has determined that she is in many ways connected with the West. The West has a particularly strong influence on the public opinion scene in Hong Kong; the storm of amendments was originally a controversy in Hong Kong's internal affairs and could release Such a large amount of destructive energy has a strategic connection with the United States' shift to a tougher China policy. He pointed out that in this sense, China ’s settlement of the Hong Kong issue is to a large extent a round dealing with Sino-US relations with China. The mainland people must accept this round, which has become more challenging today than before. The people must face up to this change and respond to the new situation with a more determined and mature attitude.
2. "One Country, Two Systems" Perspective
Hu Xijin said that Hong Kong and the Mainland are in different systems and have different clues and logic from the Mainland. People in the Mainland see Hong Kong's problems as procrastinating (Cantonese: Ta; meaning sloppy) and unhappy, but it must be said that It is "one country, two systems". China needs to influence the healthy development of Hong Kong's affairs as much as possible within the framework of the Basic Law. At the same time, there must still be some ideological preparations there.

3. Things perspective
Hu Xijin said that this includes how big things are in Hong Kong, whether it has been out of control, what the consequences will be, etc. The rule of law in Hong Kong has been destroyed and the situation is very serious. There is no doubt about it, but it must be said, "Stop riots." The first is the responsibility of Hong Kong society. Now the thugs are largely "seeking the country." Some American and Western forces are so excited because they feel that this makes Beijing uncomfortable. Of course, the country is saddened by the chaos in Hong Kong. However, under the "one country, two systems" system, the sadness of the mainland society cannot replace the sadness of the Hong Kong society, and "a lot of people in Hong Kong are happy", but the people of the Mainland bear the sadness they deserve. Such sadness will change. It has no meaning, becomes a political burden, and it is difficult to turn it into a practical force to "stop riots."
He said that it is necessary to see the country's constitutional control over Hong Kong without any damage. The mob and its supporters have no ability to destroy it. The constitution of Hong Kong under the Basic Law is solid and cannot be considered because of the results of the Hong Kong District Council election. Hong Kong has changed, Hong Kong can never change. "We must have full confidence in this. The mainland people may not have to be too anxious. Let us calm down our minds. We are both positive and accepting on the Hong Kong issue. "One country, two systems" is beyond the reach. That way, the mainland public can look at Hong Kong things more calmly. "
Mainland Internet users reacted mixedly:

"Fifty years do not change, it does not mean that fifty years are ignored."
"The central government cannot let the situation in Hong Kong be dragged on and chaos, otherwise it will become an internal problem and a stumbling block to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
"Most of our dissatisfaction questioned why Hong Kong has reached this stage? Who should bear responsibility?"
"I don't agree with Lao Hu's point of view. I think the mainland people should not comfort themselves or numb themselves with the spirit of Ah Q. We should be more realistic and grow. In addition to military control in the central government in Hong Kong, Politics, justice, legislation, education, the media, mass work, etc. are all at a disadvantage. That is to say, unless there is a war, the central government's policy in Hong Kong cannot be promoted, and reform cannot be carried out. "
