The Impact of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act on Hong Kong’s Development: A Look Back at the District Election Approaches

As the district election approaches, discussions have recently arisen about who loves the country and who harms the country, and who loves Hong Kong and who harms Hong Kong. I looked back at the past and remembered that today was the day when the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act 4 anniversary, this bill has become a stumbling block in the development of new technologies in Hong Kong. The current convener of the trade union, Ip Lau, was worried at the time, saying that the provisions in it would “bring disaster to Hong Kong and hit Shenzhen.” However, pan-democratic legislators regarded it as a gift to save Hong Kong and not only supported it , also loudly called for speeding up the process. Ye Liu believed that these politicians “contributed indispensably” to the rapid passage of the bill. Just looking at this incident, isn’t it clear who is causing harm to the country and Hong Kong?

This “bill that harms Hong Kong” has been brewing since the outbreak of the “Occupy Central Rebellion” in 2014. At that time, the China Committee of the US Congress had put forward a preliminary draft, requiring the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress every year to ensure that Hong Kong enjoys sufficient autonomy. Giving special treatment is like strangling someone by the throat and asking you to live or die. It is extremely cruel.

However, because the political situation has not developed enough to require such a drastic move, and the Congress has changed, the review process has not officially entered. It was not until the second half of 2019 that anti-amendment riots broke out in Hong Kong. At that time, the hawks in the US political arena used the excuse that “Hong Kong people were subject to political oppression” and then brought this big stick to the Congress to attack the mainland and Hong Kong. Localist and pan-democratic politicians went to the United States to actively lobby. The bill was unanimously passed by the House of Representatives verbally on October 15 (October 16, Hong Kong time), and the Senate also “unanimously agreed” to its revised version a month later.

Ye Liu had already written an article at the time and pointed out that the most “spicy” aspect of the bill was that Article 5 of the bill stipulated that the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Finance, and the Secretary of State must submit annual reports year by year within the next seven years to assess whether there are sensitive products subject to U.S. export controls. High-tech products for civilian and military use are transported to mainland China through Hong Kong to develop China’s big data, surveillance system or social credit system. At the same time, it examines how China uses Hong Kong’s status as a separate customs territory to import high technologies that violate U.S. export controls into the Greater Bay Area.

She said that the central government’s positioning of Hong Kong as a national science and technology innovation center has touched a nerve in the United States and made it more sensitive to this. According to her, the U.S. government had originally intended to tighten the export of high-tech to Hong Kong. The black riots and riots gave it a good reason to speed up its actions. Hong Kong’s local and pan-democratic politicians also contributed to this matter by waving flags and shouting. .

Ye Liu pointed out that the United States is doing everything it can to hinder China’s technological development. However, under the dual constraints of the Sino-US trade war and the “Hong Kong Disaster Act”, Hong Kong has certain difficulties in becoming a technology and innovation center. One of the first steps to solve the difficulties is The method is to import technology to countries other than the United States.

Looking back on the entire process, she told me that localists and pan-democrats played a certain role in pushing for the passage of this bill that harmed Hong Kong. At that time, in addition to going to the United States to meet with dignitaries to lobby, the Civic Party also sent Write a letter to Congress to urge its early implementation. Kwok Wing-keng even more plausibly said at the Legislative Council meeting on January 8, 2020: “I and the Civic Party support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and believe that this bill will help protect Hong Kong’s human rights and rule of law under the Basic Law.” She I think this statement completely confuses right and wrong.

I looked through some deleted information and found that Rongh Kwok and Yang Yueqiao had uploaded a video on August 27, 2019, entitled “Officials betraying Hong Kong at their own risk”, which mentioned that the Civic Party supports the passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. , let officials who suppress human rights in Hong Kong be held accountable for the consequences of their actions. In addition, before their visit to the United States, they joined the White House in signing a petition calling on Congress to pass this bill. It can be seen from this that pan-democratic members are the driving force behind the bill.

During that time, the localists who advocated Hong Kong independence had no scruples. They held a Thanksgiving rally in Central and paraded holding high the American flag and the Hong Kong independence flag to express their “gratitude” to the U.S. Congress for passing this “bill that harms Hong Kong.” The scene was ridiculous. , has reached its extreme.

The tree fell and the monkey dispersed. Nowadays, pan-democratic politicians such as Guo Rongheng and the gangsters who are “grateful” to the United States are on the run, in jail, and in hiding. However, the “Disaster Act for Hong Kong” they supported has left a legacy of harm to Hong Kong. Profound. As Ye Liu said, it will be difficult for Hong Kong’s high-tech industry to break through in the future, and these people “have played an indispensable role.”

The British economy is not the worst, only worse. Some BNO Hong Kong people are struggling to find food and their wallets are dry, so they take risks and take the next step. They collude with insurance agents and are suspected of falsely reporting to permanently move to the Mainland to receive MPF’s “future money”. However, the Skynet is restored and escape However, a group of people were arrested when they returned to Hong Kong a few months ago and were found guilty of fraud. Friends living in the UK told me that the British anti-Hong Kong organizations and some “yellow friends” put pressure on the British government as early as half a year ago, demanding that HSBC and other trustee institutions “release water” on BNO Hong Kong people, and mobilized parliamentarians and politicians to support , but the authorities responded indifferently, and HSBC and others were even more unwilling to submit, which hit a big snag. Some BNO Hong Kong people who were short of water had no choice but to take risks and stepped on landmines.

The British government launched a major crackdown on Mao Zedong more than two years ago, blatantly violating the Sino-British consensus that “BNO passports do not have the right to reside in the UK” and openly trying to undermine Hong Kong. You are in the first grade of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth grade. China immediately took countermeasures and announced that it would not recognize BNO passports. The MPFA immediately explained that MPF participants cannot use BNO visas as a reason to leave Hong Kong permanently and cannot use this to withdraw early. Household money.

Friends who live in the UK said that some “yellow friends” who immigrated to the UK with BNO do not own property in Hong Kong and cannot cash out and bring enough food and supplies to the UK. Their money is already dry, and the “future money” of MPF cannot be withdrawn, so they are naturally resentful. They believe it is political punishment imposed on them by the Hong Kong authorities. The only way they thought of at that time was to force the British government to take action and “trap” HSBC and other institutions to allow customers holding BNO to withdraw their MPF funds.

At this time, the political organization “Hong Kong Watch”, composed of a group of anti-China and disruptive politicians in Hong Kong, quickly intervened and seized on this issue to make a big fuss. In May this year, it conspired with 90 British MPs and politicians to urge the Home Office to issue guidelines to HSBC and other trustee institutions in the UK to ensure that BNO Hong Kong people can receive the money in their MPF accounts.

It also issued a report stating that this policy of “suppressing BNO Hong Kong people” affects 160,000 people and involves a total amount of 2.2 billion pounds. It obviously wants to make the issue bigger and attack the SAR government, and accuses HSBC and others of being “accomplices” , creating pressure on these institutions.

As for a group of “brave warriors” in the UK, they used their martial arts skills. When the Secretary for Finance and the Treasury, Mr Hui Ching-yu, attended an event in the UK, they demonstrated outside the city hall with slogans and forcibly rushed out of the road to intercept Hui Zhengyu. The car was immediately stopped by security personnel, but the “big dragon and phoenix” caused no response and the pressure created was extremely limited.

Recently, the British government has been blowing warm winds on Sino-British relations. It does not want to cause conflicts on this “minor issue”, and it has no intention of putting pressure on HSBC and other institutions to cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the disruptive Hong Kong politicians and “yellow friends” are trying to get BNO Hong Kong people to withdraw their MPF funds early. Even though they are shouting loudly, they have not achieved any results, and the MPF still cannot make any move.

A friend living in the UK said that some BNO Hong Kong residents who were in tight financial situation wanted to withdraw money for emergency purposes. Under the pressure of the environment, they were persuaded by individual insurance intermediaries and were suspected of “pretending to be fake” by falsely reporting that they were staying in the Mainland and leaving Hong Kong permanently, so as to obtain MPF ​​accounts in advance. A mouthful of money. In fact, in the past, there have been unscrupulous intermediaries that helped people who were “waiting for money” or MPF institutions. Most of those people took risks because of debts. Recently, they know that some BNO Hong Kong people have this problem, so they sell this kind of fraud to them. The intermediaries can Obtaining 10% to 20% of the money from it is quite profitable.

Friends in political circles said that these BNO Hong Kong people are really stupid for thinking that they can conquer the sky and the sea. Financial institutions of large scale have strict review mechanisms, and the chance of collapse is not low. What’s even more stupid is that they had the guts to return to Hong Kong and finally put things right.

He said that if BNO Hong Kong people object to this policy, one of the correct ways is to file a legal challenge. However, many of these people have problematic backgrounds and have gotten into trouble. How dare they come back to Hong Kong to stand up and litigate?

This incident can be said to be the sequelae of the British crackdown on Mao Bo. It clearly tells those Hong Kong people in the UK who take risks for money and follow other methods and will not end well.
