In response to the demonstration of the demonstration, the authorities have been carried out for 11 consecutive weeks. Will the authorities consider the emergency law through the Hong Kong, and when the emergency situation or harm to the public security, the Chief Executive Association will establish a regulations in accordance with the public interest?Hong Kong Chief Executive Lin Zhengyue responded on the 27th that the Hong Kong government is still confident that it can handle disputes that lasted more than two months by themselves, which indirectly excluded this statement.
The principle of governing Hong Kong people in Hong Kong is preferred
Of course, Lin Zhengyue has never been in the past, and it should not be mentioned in the future. When facing emergencies in Hong Kong or endangering public security, whether Beijing will ask Beijing to mobilize the PLA forces in Hong Kong to assist the Hong Kong government in the same turmoil.This illustrates the principle of governing Hong Kong in the Hong Kong people and two systems in one country. Beijing will inevitably pay attention to it, and it will not be easily changed. The more important thing is the setting of the Hong Kong Basic Law based on the Hong Kong Basic Law implemented on July 1, 1997.Chapter 2, under the case of the Liberation Army and the PLA's intervention in Hong Kong's affairs, there are clear regulations: the army that the Central People's Government stationed in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is responsible for defense.However, if the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is necessary, the Central People's Government can request the garrison to assist the army to maintain social security and rescue disasters.
In addition, the central government's military law in Hong Kong also stipulates that after the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's request was approved by the Central People's Government, the Hong Kong garrison sent the army to send troops to perform assistance to maintain social security and rescue disasters in accordance with the order of the Central Military Commission.The task is returned to the station after the task is completed.Therefore, basically, whether it is the Basic Law or the military law, the PLA should not be used in solutions against the internal struggle between Hong Kong society.
However, in response to the demonstration campaign in Hong Kong's counter -delivery, in the Taiwan authorities or society, the most loud slogan is Hong Kong today, in Taiwan tomorrow, in order to suggest that the fate encountered in Hong Kong under one country, two systems, will be fulfilled in Taiwan.However, if this slogan is not distinguished, it may cause some misunderstanding or misjudgment, so it is necessary to explain:
First, Hong Kong is not Taiwan. Its current demonstration, and sometimes the level of demand will rise to Hong Kong independence. Even if it may shake and social security, or touch the sovereignty issue, according to the spirit of one country, two systems, the Hong Kong government will be handled first.Unless the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government fails to control the unity or security turmoil that is unable to control the unity or security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Hong Kong, and decides that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region enters an emergency state, according to the provisions of Article 18 of Chapter 2 of the Basic Law:Sexual laws are implemented in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong and stated that there are still exceptions to respond.At that time, the use of the PLA was the last means.However, if there is a similar situation in Taiwan, there is no buffer in the middle, which is directly impacted from the other side.
Second, Hong Kong today will not be tomorrow.The most important thing is that Hong Kong is a territory under the substantial control of Beijing today. According to the Basic Law, Beijing can directly meet the territorial treatment issues involved in French -Jinzhin into one country.According to Article 8 of the Anti -split State Law: the fact that Taiwan splits from China in any name and way, or the occurrence of a major incident that will cause Taiwan to split from China, or the possibility of peace and reunification is completely lost, and the country gets the country.Take non -peaceful methods and other necessary measures to deal with.
The status of Hong Kong and Taiwan is different
Therefore, from the above perspective, the two are different situations. Once facing social turmoil or substantially promoting Taiwan's independence, the impact encountered by Taiwan may be more serious than Hong Kong.The simplest sentence is to explain: today, even if the demonstration of Hong Kong leads to the turbulence of social security, it will not cause the PLA to solve the problem of turmoil: but tomorrow, Taiwan will be difficult to rule out that the PLA may east when the social turmoil or Taiwan is independent.Crossing.(The author is Honorary Professor of Macau Institute of Technology)
