Dai Qingcheng: Hong Kong peoples ＂dreams＂ have not been awakened

Hong Kong's anti -repair example has occurred for four years. Many details during the turmoil period have been presented in recent years.Two American reporters published a new book a few days ago to disclose the inside story of Huang Zhifeng, the founder of Hong Kong's Zhi Zhi, to seek political asylum from the United States.

The Chinese government implemented the Hong Kong National Security Law on the evening of June 30, 2020. At that time, Huang Zhifeng, who was confiscated by the Hong Kong police because of other cases, wanted to imitate the Chinese blind disagreement, Chen Guangcheng, entered the consulate for asylum to escape from China.So Huang walked into St. John Building (part of the office locations of the Consulate General in the United States) opposite the Consulate General of the United States on the morning and met with two US diplomats.

Huang Zhifeng stated to the two: "I don't want to leave, I want to go to the US consulate." Because the office of St. John Building is different from the consulate, it is not the scope of consular protection. As a resultleave.

Huang Zhifeng sent an email through the middleman to the then US Secretary of State Pompeo, saying that he would face the main goal of being arrested in the face of "real danger."At that time, Washington was preparing to close the Chinese consulate in Houston on the grounds of "spy activity". If the US Consulate General in Hong Kong accepts Huang Zhifeng, it is likely to be closed by Beijing.After discussing with US officials, Pompeo believed that it was not worthy of adventure Huang Zhifeng, and finally refused to give for protection.

The author of the book later asked a US official who participated in the decision, and the other party's answer was remarkable: "When the national interest and personal interests are in front of you, you will try to get a balance between the two."

In the era of global villages, schools often educate students to have the consciousness of world citizen; but in reality, the world is still an orderly international political system.When governments considering national interests, they are the first to survive and safety in their own country. There are almost no locations in moral judgment.If you think that the international community pays attention to moral principles, it is very naive idealism.

Huang Zhifeng's encounter just confirms this cruel fact again.In the eyes of the US government, the so -called national interests are the interests of the United States, and the so -called personal interests are Huang Zhifeng's interests.As the U.S. officials quoted by the book, the United States eventually abandoned the interests of Huang Zhifeng based on its own interests to protect the national interests of the United States.

After Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, the biggest mistake of the democratic camp was like Huang Zhifeng was too ideal.In particular, after the "occupation of the middle", the pan -democratic faction split a local radical separation forces. It is supported by the support of Western countries. It can disrupt the existing order and challenge a powerful central government in front of it.

Sino -US relations in the early years were weird. The Trump administration resisted China for toughness, making the Hong Kong radicals more optimistic. He naively believed that the United States would help them, so he shouted loudly that the US government opened the Hong Kong internal affairs and even called Hong Kong madly.alone.This kind of ignoring realistic behavior can only end in tragedy.

Four years have passed, and many democratic politicians seem to be sober.When many overseas media reports recently reported that Huang Zhifeng was reduced to the "abandoned son" in the United States, he intentionally or unintentionally avoided the light and lightly. It focused on reporting that Washington had considered assisting Huang Zhifeng to escape through the water road to highlight the unremitting efforts of the US government for Hong Kong people.This reporting method is very irresponsible, and it will only continue to mislead some Hong Kong people who lack of thinking ability, thinking that the United States puts the interests of Hong Kong people at the forefront.

In fact, Hong Kong issues only account for little position in the US diplomacy.The last example is that the US State Department promises to Congress this year that the sanctioned Hong Kong chief executive Li Jiachao will not be invited to attend the Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization (APEC) informal leadership meeting held in San Francisco this week.Unexpectedly, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued a press release earlier this month, saying that Li Jiachao "received" the United States invited him to attend the summit, but he failed to attend due to the "schedule arrangement" and was renamed by the head of the Financial Secretary.

Those who know a little about diplomatic language know that the United States has sent invitations to the Hong Kong government at a glance, and Li Jiachao chose not to attend.The premise.Let both governments have a decent step.Ironically, overseas Hong Kong people think that Li Jiachao has not attended the APEC, which has played a role in lobbying.

A few days ago, some Hong Kong people in the United States announced a series of demonstrations during the APEC period, and connected to the US President Biden with dozens of human rights organizations, calling on him to ask the Chinese official to release LiPolitical prisoners such as Zhiying and Huang Zhifeng, as well as the revocation of the Hong Kong National Security Law.These democratic organizations seem to live in their fantasy space, thinking that the United States attaches great importance to Hong Kong.

It must be acknowledged that no matter how important Hong Kong is, it is not appropriate to overestimate its role in US foreign policy.Hong Kong is just a special administrative district under China's jurisdiction. "China and the United States and Hong Kong" are essentially a triangular relationship. Sino -US relations are located in the core.Impact.

When the Trump administration and the Biden government are considering the Hong Kong issue, they will only start from the large framework of Sino -US relations.At this stage, the United States intends to alleviate relations with China, and will not actively speculate on the issue of Hong Kong.After four years of displacement in Hong Kong Democrats, the overseas democrats still have no dreams so far, which is really confusing.
