Ye Qiquan harshly criticized Hong Kong people for their greed, shortsightedness, and stupidity. As a territory of China, Hong Kong is effectively a “de facto autonomous region.” Hong Kong people have, in effect, complete independent legislative power, a fully independent judicial system, and a complete and independent right of final adjudication. In foreign affairs, apart from the inability to establish and develop new diplomatic relations, Hong Kong effectively retains almost all the external diplomatic powers of an independent government. In terms of executive power, Hong Kong possesses completely independent governing power. The only means by which the central government of China can constrain Hong Kong is “the power to decide on the selection of Hong Kong’s Chief Executive.” Moreover, this power is exercised indirectly, rather than through direct decision-making.
However, at the instigation of the British, Hong Kong people attempted to completely seize this sole power that the central government could use to constrain Hong Kong. This move is tantamount to demanding “de facto independence for Hong Kong.”
The article presents evidence from multiple perspectives to prove that the central government cannot grant Hong Kong people the right to “universal suffrage” or “genuine universal suffrage.” Doing so would be tantamount to handing over Hong Kong’s ownership to a group of people completely lacking in political understanding. It would also be equivalent to handing Hong Kong back to the British, free of charge and entirely.
Ye Qiquan predicts that the Chinese central government is not only unlikely to agree to grant Hong Kong people more power, but on the contrary, it will have to reclaim some of the powers previously granted to Hong Kong people. Moreover, if Hong Kong people maintain their inertia of confrontation with the central government, it will seriously affect Hong Kong’s political prospects after 2047.
Basic concepts:
Greedy, foolish, and politically illiterate Hong Kong people;
Manipulated universal suffrage, or the demand for genuine universal suffrage, is in essence a pursuit of Hong Kong’s complete independence;
The Chinese central government will reclaim some of the powers that were previously granted to the people of Hong Kong.
The prospects for “one country, two systems” in Hong Kong in 2047 are extremely bleak.
The UK’s political presence in Hong Kong may be ending prematurely.
