Sing Tao Daily News Agency In the extensive and fierce controversy of society, the government submitted the draft fugitive regulations for the first reading of the Legislative Council yesterday, but the sound of opposition and questioning was still endless, and the concerns of the draft expression of the draft were also falling.In addition to most public opinion, whether the draft can get enough votes to pass, and also have questions.In this case, the government should withdraw the draft first, then consult the public opinion, and make a full amendment to explain public doubts.
The government rashly proposed the amendment of the fugitive regulations this time, so that areas that have not signed an extradition agreement with Hong Kong can request the transfer of suspected criminals to the Hong Kong party.After the business and the company opened their investment in the Mainland, they actively went north to do business, and relying on the guarantee provided by one country, two systems, greatly expanded their business and contributed a great contribution to the Mainland economy.In the gray area, if the fugitive regulations are revised, they will face the risk of being punished by being transferred. They can do business in Hong Kong with peace of mind?This sense of fear will greatly damage Hong Kong's business environment and has a profound impact.
Social doubts are difficult to show? Don't be alone
Although the government eliminated nine of the forty -six crimes covered by the regulations after consulting the business community, it still cannot eliminate the concerns of the business community.It is wide and vague. It must be fully explained to the business community, explaining the details of the crimes, and a correction of the opinions, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the business community.Some businessmen have proposed that the secret commission involved in crimes also has the same doubts, and it should not pass the hasty.
Hong Kong is the International Financial Economic and Trade Center under China's sovereignty. A large number of foreign companies come to Hong Kong to set up bases. It is to use the conditions provided by one country and two systems. It is mainly because Hong Kong implements a normal law system and conducts business two places.Hong Kong's advantages of attracting foreign capital will weaken.Recently, a sharp questioning of the Foreign Chamber of Commerce in the Hong Kong Foreign Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to issuing a warning number, and the government cannot do it.
In addition to the business community, some legal circles and scholars have asked questions about the judicial procedures set by the regulations and the role of Hong Kong courts. For example, whether the application threshold requested to extradite the suspect from the Hong Kong government is too low, and when the Hong Kong court handles the case in accordance with the law, the Hong Kong court shall deal with the case in accordance with the law.Is it difficult to control it?Due to the far -reaching impact of this regulation, the government must be discussed in detail with the relevant sectors in detail to ensure that Hong Kong people's rights are the prerequisites, and further study and amend the relevant provisions, rather than self -centered and independent.
The impact of the law is far -reaching? Must be considerate
The second doubts raised by the business community are not from the interests of their own, but the future related to Hong Kong is that it will be adversely affected after the return of Hong Kong to more than 20 years, because the different legal systems between the two places in the past two places in the past two placesThe protection wall is eroded, and local businessmen, foreign capital, and even ordinary citizens will lose their sense of security. This is not the original meaning of one country, two systems.
In the current voice against the extradition regulations, some of the obvious political motivations are opposite and full of conspiracy theories. HoweverThe draft pass, which not only helpless the government to establish prestige, but also makes the public feel that the government is lonely and ignores public opinion. Once this view is strengthened, it will be more difficult to govern in the future.
Although the draft has been submitted to the Legislative Council's first reading, in the face of fierce social disputes and the risks brought by the laws to one country, two systems, the government should follow the kindness, let go of the face, consider the withdrawal of the draft, and then consult public opinion from all walks of life.Major modifications, or even putting on hold to prevent Hong Kong from being difficult to make up for damage.
The government's recovering the bill is not without precedent. Earlier, it proposed the three -tunnel diversion plan, which was generally opposed by public opinion.In the end, the proposal was withdrawn for the second time because of insufficient votes.Smart governors should know how to guide the situation and know what is advancing and retreat. This should be the same.For Hong Kong's largest interests, I hope that the government will not be able to do it. At this critical moment, a wise decision is made.
