环球时报社评:轮不到英国外交大臣警告中国

2019年07月04日 07:47 环球时报

英国外交大臣杰里米·亨特在香港发生暴力冲击立法会事件后,没有对暴力示威者进行直接批评,而是要求中国遵守1984年签署、早被履行完毕的中英联合声明,宣称如果中国不那样做,“将会有严重后果”。他还煞有介事地表示“坚定地支持香港人民”,要求香港特区政府不要采取压制行动。
亨特的表态十分出格。有分析说他是为了角逐保守党党魁、争取出任英国首相而说这番强硬话语的。中国外交部已在星期三对亨特给予了措辞激烈的驳斥。
众所周知,英国2011年8月份发生了伦敦骚乱,英国当时逮捕了近3000人,其中至少1774人被起诉,317人被判刑。如今上网随便一查,就能找到当时英国政府严厉处置骚乱的报道。时任内政大臣特雷莎·梅将骚乱定性成“绝对的犯罪行为”,还很容易看到路透社的一篇报道,标题是:“卡梅伦:英国将动用军队对付未来的骚乱。”
可以想见,如果香港近日的骚乱发生在伦敦,英国议会遭到暴力打砸,整个英国精英群体会气疯了,他们一定会要求英国当局采取坚决措施惩罚示威者。
亨特被中国外交部发言人斥为“厚颜无耻”的这番谈话大概会在香港被听到,产生一定影响,误导一些暴力示威者以为他们的行为“有正义的理由”。在港府已经表现克制、努力引导局势恢复平静的时候,亨特的最新表态无异于煽风点火。
香港出现骚乱,当然有其内部的深层原因,但是香港一些人的不满意转变成对抗性情绪,亨特的上述言论以及美国众议长佩洛西赞扬示威者“有勇气”,西方势力的类似推波助澜也显然起了很坏作用。
由于香港根据“一国两制”继续施行资本主义制度,那里部分人的政治价值取向会和西方存在一些呼应,但香港社会的利益和祖国紧连在一起,后者的意义更为实质。
既然“一国两制”,上述悖论就无法消除,但它应当是得到有效管理的。西方一些势力试图用前者撬动后者,搞乱香港社会的基本利益观,这是所有香港人必须加以警惕的。
从意识形态的分野处劫持香港,这是一些西方人愿意干的事情。他们目前仍有不少这方面的工具,并且拥有塑造香港人对某些政治问题视角的能力。

中国无法做到让亨特、佩洛西那样的人不对香港事务大放厥词,因此帮助香港社会认清那些西方政治精英的恶意就成了关键。回归前的香港由英国女王派来的总督统治,不能选举特首,不能游行,根本享受不到今天港人拥有的民主和自由。另外,美英等国的行为有搞乱香港的罪恶动机,这些道理都很浅显。
但是现在一些港人就是无法对这些现实和常识形成理解。让香港不再能任由极端反对派指鹿为马,实事求是在最低的限度上被普遍遵从,看来这将是一个非常浩大的工程。
邪不压正,是颠扑不破的真理。归根到底,没有力量能够真正颠覆香港与中国内地的利益关系,用几个意识形态的标签就把香港社会真的劫持走了。有中央政府的保障,香港稳定的大格局牢不可破。这为同来自外部和香港内生的破坏性力量作斗争留下充足的时间和空间。
亨特火上浇油,毁的是他自己和英国形象,他用个人政治利益挖了中英正常关系的墙角。这个人自私,没水平,强词夺理,他的这种表现如果不断出现,英国对华外交会为此买单的。

Global Times editorial: It is not possible for the British Foreign Minister to warn China


July 4, 2019 07:47 Global Times



6,521



After the violent attack on the Legislative Council in Hong Kong, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunter did not directly criticize the violent demonstrators. Instead, he asked China to abide by the Sino-British Joint Declaration signed in 1984 and completed early, claiming that if China If you don't do that, "there will be serious consequences." He also said that he "firmly supports the people of Hong Kong" and asks the Hong Kong SAR government not to take repressive action.

Hunt's position is very special. Some analysts said that he said this tough talk in order to compete for the Conservative Party leader and to become the British prime minister. The Chinese Foreign Ministry has given a fierce refutation of Hunter on Wednesday.

As we all know, the United Kingdom riots in London in August 2011, the United Kingdom arrested nearly 3,000 people, at least 1,774 people were indicted and 317 were sentenced. Now, when you check the Internet, you can find reports that the British government severely handled the riots. At that time, the Minister of the Interior, Teresa May, characterized the riots as "absolute criminal acts." It is also easy to see a Reuters report titled: "Cameron: Britain will use the army to deal with future riots."

It is conceivable that if the recent riots in Hong Kong occurred in London, the British Parliament was violently beaten and the entire British elite would be mad, and they would certainly ask the British authorities to take resolute measures to punish the demonstrators.

The conversation that Hunter was dismissed as "shameless" by the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson will probably be heard in Hong Kong, with certain influence, misleading some violent demonstrators to think that their actions "have a just reason." When the Hong Kong Government has shown restraint and tried to guide the situation to return to calm, Hunter’s latest statement is tantamount to hurricane.

There are riots in Hong Kong, of course, there are internal internal reasons, but the dissatisfaction of some people in Hong Kong has turned into confrontational emotions. Hunter’s remarks and US Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi praised the demonstrators “have courage”, similar to the Western forces. It also obviously played a bad role.

Since Hong Kong continues to implement the capitalist system in accordance with "one country, two systems", the political values of some people there will echo with the West, but the interests of Hong Kong society and the motherland are closely linked, and the latter is more substantive.

Since "one country, two systems", the above public opinion cannot be eliminated, but it should be effectively managed. Some Western forces are trying to use the former to incite the latter and to confuse the basic interests of Hong Kong society. This is something that all Hong Kong people must be vigilant against.

Hijacking Hong Kong from the division of ideology is something that Westerners are willing to do. They still have a lot of tools in this area and they have the ability to shape Hong Kong people's perspectives on certain political issues.

China can't make people like Hunter and Pelosi not swear at Hong Kong affairs, so helping Hong Kong society recognize the evils of those Western political elites. Before the reunification, Hong Kong was ruled by the Governor of the Queen of England. He could not elect a chief executive and could not march. He could not enjoy the democracy and freedom that Hong Kong people have today. In addition, the behaviors of countries such as the United States and Britain have the motives for messing up Hong Kong. These reasons are very obvious.

But now some Hong Kong people cannot understand these realities and common sense. Let Hong Kong no longer allow the extreme opposition to refer to the deer as a horse. Seeking truth from facts is universally observed at the lowest level. It seems that this will be a very large project.

The evil is not pressured, it is the truth that is irrefutable. In the final analysis, there is no power to truly subvert the interests of Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. With a few ideological labels, the Hong Kong society has really been hijacked. With the protection of the central government, the stable pattern of Hong Kong is unbreakable. This leaves plenty of time and space for fighting the destructive forces from the outside and Hong Kong.

Hunter poured oil on the fire, destroying himself and the image of Britain. He used his personal political interests to dig the corner of normal relations between China and Britain. This person is selfish, has no level, and is arrogant. If his performance continues to appear, the British diplomatic exchanges with China will pay for it.

China has told Britain to keep its hands off Hong Kong after London called for Beijing to honour the agreements made when the city was handed over in 1997, escalating a diplomatic spat over the former British colony.
Key points:
  • The Sino-British declaration in 1984 allows Hong Kong freedoms not enjoyed in China
  • Beijing claims London's remarks are "inappropriate"
  • Hong Kong police has arrested 12 people involved in the protests

Beijing denounced British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt as "shameless" and said it had made a diplomatic complaint to London after he warned of consequences if China neglected its commitments to guarantee basic freedoms.
'Everyone is feeling more despair'

A look back at Hong Kong's handover to China 21 years later.

"In the minds of some people, they regard Hong Kong as still under British rule. They forget … that Hong Kong has now returned to the embrace of the Motherland," China's ambassador to London, Liu Xiaoming, said.
"I tell them: hands off Hong Kong and show respect. This colonial mindset is still haunting the minds of some officials or politicians," Mr Liu told reporters​
The growing war of words between China and Britain follows mass protests in Hong Kong against a now suspended bill that would allow extradition to mainland China.
Hundreds of protesters in the former British colony besieged and broke into the legislature on Monday after a demonstration marking the anniversary of return to Chinese rule.
Hong Kong police said they had arrested 11 men and one woman who were involved.
They face various charges including possession of offensive weapons, unlawful assembly, assaulting a police officer, obstructing a police officer and failing to carry an identity document, police said.
The brief statement did not describe the offensive weapons or provide further details.
China called the violence an "undisguised challenge" to the "one country, two systems" model under which Hong Kong has been ruled for 22 years.

On Tuesday, Mr Hunt warned of consequences if China did not abide by the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 on the terms of the return of Hong Kong, which allows freedoms not enjoyed in mainland China, including the right to protest.

"We can make it clear we stand behind the people of Hong Kong in defence of the freedoms that we negotiated for them when we agreed to the handover in 1997 and we can remind everyone that we expect all countries to honour their international obligations," Mr Hunt told Reuters.
Mr Hunt is one of two contenders vying to replace Theresa May as British prime minister and his rival Boris Johnson told Reuters that he also backed the people of Hong Kong "every inch of the way".
China's London envoy scolded Britain and said meddling in Hong Kong would cause a "problem in the relationship" between them.
"The UK government chose to stand on the wrong side: it has made inappropriate remarks not only to interfere in internal affairs of Hong Kong but also to back up the violent law-breakers," Mr Liu said.​

Britain had summoned Mr Liu to the foreign office following his "unacceptable" comments, a Government source said.
The pro-Beijing view

Hong Kong has been swept up in protests over a proposed extradition bill, but does China have a point about crime?

"Message to Chinese govt: good relations between countries are based on mutual respect and honouring the legally binding agreements between them," Mr Hunt said on Twitter after Mr Liu's media briefing.
"That is the best way to preserve the great relationship between the UK and China."
Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang also chided Mr Hunt, saying that only after Hong Kong's return to China did its people get an "unprecedented" guarantee about democracy and freedom.
"To say that the freedoms of Hong Kong residents is something Britain strived for is simply shameless," he told a news briefing.
"I would like to ask Mr Hunt, during the British colonial era in Hong Kong, was there any democracy to speak of? Hongkongers didn't even have the right to protest."

The turbulence in Hong Kong was triggered by an extradition bill opponents said would undermine Hong Kong's much-cherished rule of law and give Beijing powers to prosecute activists in mainland courts, which are controlled by the Communist Party.
Hong Kong's Beijing-backed leader Carrie Lam had strongly promoted the bill, but suspended it on June 15 in the face of public protests against it.
Critics have called on her to officially kill the bill, but she has resisted.
A timeline of key events

When Britain handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997, remaining citizens were promised British capitalism and laws. In the intervening years, some argue that Beijing has squandered its promises.

Britain and China had been seeking to reset ties after a row over the disputed South China Sea last year, with Chinese Vice-Premier Hu Chunhua visiting London last month to oversee the start of a link between its stock exchange and that of Shanghai.
Confrontation and lawlessness in Hong Kong could damage its reputation as an international business hub and seriously hurt its economy, China's state-owned newspaper, the People's Daily, said in an editorial.
"It will not only serve no purpose, but will also severely hinder economic and social development," the paper said, denouncing what it called artificially created division and opposition.
China has blamed Western countries, particularly the United States and Britain, for offering succour to the protests.
