The Communist Party of China undoubtedly affects the destiny of the world, but to many Hong Kong people, it is a "mysterious" and frightening party. Many politicians in Western countries also think so.
Why is this happening?
In general analysis, there are three reasons: First, it is unwilling to understand it, thinking that it is a simple and rude authoritarian party. There is nothing to understand. Just like the Soviet Union, it is "finished" sooner or later. Why waste time on it?
Second, there is no chance to understand it, because China has been repelled by the Western world for a long time and isolated from the outside world for a long time. Western media have also lacked interest in it. Although the situation has changed drastically in recent years, Western interest in China has risen sharply, but due to prejudice and ignorance, they Only knowing how to tell Chinese stories from the perspective of ideological opposition cannot reflect reality at all. Chinese people are not used to expressing their ideas to the Western world. As a result, the CCP’s sense of mystery, strangeness, and even aversion are more solidified in Western society. .
The third is the inability to understand it, because China and other successfully developed Western countries follow a different path of socialism, which is very different from the Western superstitious capitalism, and it is also very different from the Soviet model of socialism. Once it loses the right one With reference to the object, most people can't find a way to understand this behemoth.
If you don’t understand the CCP, you can only be a bottom frog
There are so many things in this world that we don’t understand. Why do we have to know the Communist Party of China?
Some people would understand when asking this question in the past, but asking the same question today is no different from the bottom frog.
As a Hong Konger, it is even more foolish to think that there is no need to understand the Chinese Communist Party.
A few days ago, Luo Huining, director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee, discussed the Chinese Communist Party from the source of "one country, two systems."
In fact, anyone in Hong Kong would not know that "One Country, Two Systems" was a special product of the CCP in a special period. It was an epoch-making creation proposed by Deng Xiaoping in response to changes in the world situation and China’s development needs in the early days of reform and opening up. It not only reflected the ideas of the CCP at that time, It also reflects that the CCP is a pragmatic political organization that treats Hong Kong people and the return of Hong Kong in a considerate manner?
In his speech at the "Thematic Forum of the Communist Party of China and "One Country, Two Systems", Luo Huining stated that in the 1980s, Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese Communists creatively put forward the concept of "One Country, Two Systems" from the overall interests of the nation and the vital interests of Hong Kong compatriots.

Since the founding of the party, the CCP first opposed capitalism in the early stage and created an armed revolutionary road that encircled the cities from the countryside. Then, after the establishment of the government, it opposed Soviet revisionism. Taking into account the complexity of the international strategic situation, it overcame all difficulties and developed the "two bombs" The strategic deterrent represented by "One Star" accepted Nixon’s visit to China to break the ice of Sino-U.S. relations. Later, he set aside the Cultural Revolution, proposed reform and opening up, adjusted the country’s focus to economic construction, and created the greatest economic development miracle in human history. ; Just as everyone is criticizing the corruption in China's officialdom, Xi Jinping's strong anti-corruption campaign has made many people look at him with admiration.
These century-long historical changes all show that the CCP is not a dogmatic political party, but a political force that adheres to its historical mission, continues to innovate, pursues China's prosperity and promotes national rejuvenation.
"One country, two systems" is one of a series of innovative ideas. If Hong Kong people cannot understand the political significance of its load, they will not be able to connect with the history and understanding of the Chinese Communist Party. They will not understand it and may even lead to misunderstandings and cause unnecessary contradictions. .
In fact, as long as you raise the proposition of whether you understand the Chinese Communist Party, you will be shocked to realize that the above three reasons for ignorance generally exist in Hong Kong people.
In addition, Hong Kong people also enjoy a fourth reason, that is, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I am only in this mountain."
Some people think that Hong Kong and the mainland have the same language and the same kind, and of course they are not unfamiliar with it, but sometimes it may not be the case.
The various ethnic groups in Europe have known each other for thousands of years. Christianity, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Islam, and Judaism all originated from the same theological system, but they have continuous differences and contradictions. They have never stopped mutual suspicion, killings and wars. Relatively speaking, It is not surprising that Hong Kong and the Mainland do not recognize each other.
However, this fact does not mean that it will last for many years. It is as if the Western powers have always regarded China as a weak and take it with them, but today they find that it has become their most difficult opponent, and they will naturally feel a strong sense of strangeness.
This is not the case in Hong Kong.
You must know that the influence of the British colonies is not empty talk, but Hong Kong people are unwilling to admit the fact that they have been "brainwashed", and even less willing to accept that they are a generation nurtured by Cold War mentality.
Some Hong Kong elites think that they have chosen to become a member of Western civilization because of their consciousness and natural advancement, but they never thought that this was an illusion instilled in them by the colony.
Those intellectuals who accused the Chinese Communist Party of attempting to implement brainwashing education in Hong Kong may have forgotten how the Chinese became official language movement took place under the jurisdiction of the British Hong Kong government; there are still some people in the Legislative Council who think that they are not suitable to be members of the legislature if they do not understand English. The sequelae of "brainwashing".
Covering ears and stealing bells cannot make "One Country, Two Systems" a success
The people of Hong Kong cherish "One Country, Two Systems" very much, but they are unwilling to humbly admit that it is a creation of the CCP, and even arrogantly believe that the CCP wants to destroy "One Country, Two Systems."
As everyone knows, it is the CCP who is most unwilling to accept the failure of "One Country, Two Systems". After all, this is the CCP's great political initiative under certain historical conditions, and it has been the most integrated solution among different systems until now.
Of course, it is not surprising that Hong Kong people have a blind and even logically confused cognition of "one country, two systems."
When the British ruled Hong Kong, there was never the separation of powers, and they never discussed the election of the governor. Today, they shamelessly accuse the CCP of harming the separation of powers in Hong Kong. They believe that the failure of the chief executive to be directly elected is against universal values. People in history know the treacherous and cunningness of Britain. Hong Kong people should be more familiar with its nature. However, many Hong Kong people still selectively forget about it. In this case, they forget that the CCP is the creator of "One Country, Two Systems" and even slander it. Destroying this system is not so difficult to imagine.
However, no one can give a meaningful answer to why the CCP wants to eliminate the grand plan it has created.
In the West, a god can derive so many ways of worship, and life-and-death conflicts can occur between different ways. From this point of view, it is not surprising that there are different imaginations of "one country, two systems".
The question is, is the CCP’s interpretation of "one country, two systems" more accurate, or the British interpretation of "one country, two systems" or which group in Hong Kong has the most authoritative interpretation of "one country, two systems"?
This requires weighing who has the heaviest weight. The answer is obviously the Chinese Communist Party.
From before and after the return of Hong Kong to the governance of Hong Kong today, the Communist Party of China has never suggested how to implement "One Country, Two Systems" as an advisor. It is the ruling party leading the Chinese government to formulate principles and policies for the return and governance of Hong Kong, and whether it is assumed that this system should be implemented. The direct responsibility for success. In this case, the people of Hong Kong must understand how it defines "one country, two systems" in order to truly implement "one country, two systems."
However, Hong Kong people do not seem to be keen on doing this well, is it the path to the success of "One Country, Two Systems"?
As a system of "one country, two systems," how could Hong Kong not understand another system as a sovereign state?

Hong Kong people urgently need to know the CCP
Hong Kong has developed into a border city in China for more than a hundred years.
During the colonial period, Hong Kong, as a bystander, observed the birth of the CCP and the process of promoting the revolution. It can even be said that it was a participant. However, the history of any period is not as frequent as the exchanges between Hong Kong and the CCP today.
However, today's Hong Kong people feel the most strange to the CCP.
The Communist Party of China has been established for a hundred years and Hong Kong has returned for 24 years. However, many Hong Kong people have no feeling for the Chinese Communist Party’s celebration of its centennial birthday in Hong Kong. It is as if the Chinese Communist Party does not exist in Hong Kong. This is abnormal.
If we say that we don’t understand the CCP because of our fears or disdain to understand, we should ask ourselves today, can this mentality be maintained?
If you don’t understand because of lack of information, it is no longer valid; if you don’t understand because of lack of methods, you must make up for it. As a system of "one country, two systems", how can you fail to understand another system as a sovereign state? ?
Hong Kong people and the CCP live in the same "mountain", which may fascinate some people and the authorities and do not know the "true face of Mount Lu", but I think this is an excellent opportunity to get to know the CCP and this "mountain", because only in conflict Only in this way can we truly understand the Chinese Communist Party and China based on contradictions.
At least for me, it is to live directly in this "mountain" with my own choice over the past few decades. I have seen the vigor and strides of this country, and I have seen how its people strive for progress and perseverance. I saw how this ruling party has been stubbornly struggling to move forward, encountering various obstacles, making many mistakes, and overcoming countless difficulties.
Those who believe in the value of democracy should not turn a blind eye to how the mainland people evaluate the CCP. China’s 1.4 billion people have made a clear choice through life and social participation, forgiving its historical mistakes and maintaining its dignity. Who is there? Are they more qualified to score against this ruling party?
It is not easy to understand what kind of ruling party the Chinese Communist Party is, but it is not that difficult to understand.

Although the people of Hong Kong are a member of this country and nation, they do not have the conditions to participate in this century of retrospect and reflection, because they really don't understand it.
But this is not a problem. A hundred years is just a moment from another angle.
The question is, if we don’t understand the Chinese Communist Party from this moment, do we not mind paying the price for the next more tragic experience because of our misunderstanding?
It is not easy for Hong Kong people to take this issue that affects Hong Kong's destiny seriously, and to have a serious understanding of what kind of ruling party the Chinese Communist Party is, but it is not that difficult to understand.
Of course, some people will still choose not to accept it after they understand it, or even oppose it. This is everyone's freedom and a right guaranteed by "one country, two systems."
However, Hong Kong society is unable to provide space for people who choose to accept and identify with the Chinese Communist Party, so that they will not be discriminated against or cast strange eyes. This is Hong Kong’s self-contradiction in following the Western world, and it has always been proud of Hong Kong. The irony and embarrassment of the free environment.
The Communist Party of China is a political party with more than 90 million members. It has assumed the responsibility of leading and governing China for more than 70 years. It has also been the highest governor of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for more than 20 years.
Because of the intricacies of history, after the rise of China, there is a structural conflict that is difficult to reconcile with the Western regimes that have dominated the world for many years. This history and structure have placed Hong Kong in a pattern that is difficult to justify, so that Hong Kong urgently needs to restructure its positioning and role. Realize that the consequences are huge.
This alone requires us to get to know the Chinese Communist Party. If we continue to ignore it, we can't hurt the other party. Instead, we will plunge ourselves into the awkward position of "black people catching crows in the dark."
For young people, this is even more a challenge, because they will have to face the Chinese Communist Party for longer than us adults, and are more relevant to their own career and life. Continue to be an ostrich will not solve the problem, it will also Stuck your own future in desperation.
