About six or seven years ago, I participated in an event sponsored by the Yunnan Provincial Government and visited reporters from many Asian nations for a week.After many years, many of them have gradually forgotten. Some details of interviews in Ruili Port are still vividly remembered.

Ruili is a small town in Yunnan and borders Myanmar.The most familiar local people are naturally the largest port of China's trade with Myanmar.Every day there are crowds, and there are many Myanmar people who do business or work.

At that time, the Myanmar military government was preparing to adjust the foreign policy that prefer China.It is difficult for me to get the Ruili port. Naturally, I want to know the impact of diplomatic changes between the two countries on the lives of the people of the two places.However, due to language problems, I asked Chinese customs officers to introduce me to a Myanmar visit to me.

The Chinese customs officers unexpectedly agreed my request. After looking around, I waved to a Myanmar man who was passing through the customs. He screamed: Andrdquo; then ran over and pulled him over.The two looked quite familiar. Sure enough, the Burmese knew Chinese, and my visit was successfully completed.

Later, I talked about this with a Vietnamese.He said that the situation in Vietnam is the opposite of harmony with the people in Myanmar.Although the economic and trade exchanges between China and Vietnam have been deepening in recent years, Vietnam still has a wishes, and dare not improve the transportation infrastructure in the border area of China and Vietnam at once, and many roads bordering China are still rugged.

I asked this Vietnamese friend: And "Why doesn't the Vietnamese government do well in infrastructure and promote the economic development of the border? Andrdquo; he smiled and replied: And" And the Chinese and Vietnam war, the Chinese army will break through.We can't take the initiative to open up a way for China.Andrdquo;

Frankly, this incident has brought me a great ideological impact.In the minds of many people, the border is a clear line.But for many countries with hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers, the so -called border is actually difficult to have a clear boundary.If the relationship between the two countries is friendly and the two sides live in harmony, they will not care too much about the situation of the border; but if the relationship is tight, it will become a clear line, and the well water will not commit rivers.

The Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou -Shenzhen -Hong Kong high -speed rail will be opened to traffic next month. Disputes on the high -speed rail have recently appeared in Hong Kong society.The institutionalists claim that the high -speed rail will speed up the integration of Lu and Hong Kong and promote the economic development of Hong Kong; democratic schools have questioned that most of the world's high -speed rail does not make money.However, I always feel that the camps on both sides seem to be trapped in the mud, excessively focusing on the fine branches in the economic field, not understanding the core issues of high -speed rail disputes, and it is impossible to understand why the Beijing authorities attach great importance to the Hong Kong high -speed rail.

It is true that the opening of the high -speed rail will help Hong Kong's economic development, but to do this, the central government of the mainland still has other means.For Beijing, the biggest significance of the opening of the Hong Kong high -speed rail is to help China publicize the positive image of the high -speed rail.

As we all know, in recent years, China ’s high -speed rail projects built overseas have been frustrated many times. For example, China has undertaken the high -speed rail project of Indonesia. In recent years, the project has been twists and turns, which is likely to be unable to complete the original expected 2019.As an international metropolis, many foreigners will travel to mainland China through Hong Kong.If the Hong Kong high -speed rail can be sounded, it will undoubtedly become a platform indirectly to help China preach and promote Andrdquo;

Of course, the Hong Kong high -speed rail has another layer of significance to Beijing, which reflects the return of Hong Kong people to the mainland.As mentioned above, on the international political stage, the territorial distance between the country has always been sensitive.Most of the land countries around China are close to China.Whether these countries are willing to vigorously develop the border have become a major indicator of relationships with China.

From the perspective of Beijing, small countries such as Myanmar can get along well with China; Hong Kong under the one country, two systems should not have too many restrictions on the land and port border.The Andrdquo; "one place, two inspections of Andrdquo; and the SAR Government should not cause the public to be too controversial.

The indisputable fact is that it has been 21 years since the return of Hong Kong, and the confidence of Hong Kong people's confidence in one country, two systems is indeed declining.In the eyes of many Hong Kong people, the Hong Kong high -speed rail and "one place, two inspections and two tests Andrdquo; it is not simply a problem of border control, but the trust of the mainland government. More ironic is that the democratic party does not trust Beijing, even proposed self -determination or independenceAnd further stimulating Beijing, must be implemented in Hong Kong instead of Shenzhen "one place, two inspections of Andrdquo;.

Why does the Hong Kong high -speed rail and "one place, two inspections of Andrdquo; the matter will become a major political bomb of the Lu and Hong Kong government? Strictly speaking, the problem is no longer in the legal principles and implementation details, but the trust between Beijing and Hong Kong people.Personally, whether it is Beijing or pan -people, you must reflect on this.
