Hong Kong, former British colony, now a part of China, is concerned about letting criminals from Taiwan fall through the cracks with no chance to prosecute and no place to extradite because Taiwan has no international status. The western media, meanwhile, doesn't want to lose its 'Trojan Horse' in HK to destabilize China, as Taiwan is used. Like Molly, the pampered horse in Animal Farm by George Orwell, she is allowed to wear ribbons to appease her; so has China let Hong Kong flaunt its bourgeois capitalism, to ease the transition back to the motherland and wean it from its colonial history.
Last year, there was a murder case. A Hong Kong
couple went to Taiwan where the boyfriend allegedly murdered the girlfriend and
flew back to Hong Kong. Hong Kong will not extradite him back to Taiwan because
Taiwan is part of China under international law. Hong Kong government has this
major loophole; the suspected murderer is not able to face any charges and
won’t face justice, but the separatists in Hong Kong don’t seem to mind. If
this murderer can get away with it, other criminals in Hong Kong can too, and
do on a regular basis, because China allowed it to appease Hong Kong for the
sake of reunification in 1997.
Taiwan, meanwhile, is in deeper shit, without status, living like an orphan at the whim of the U.S. via Chiang Kai-shek’s KMT, handed the torch after Japan was defeated in WW II. The Taiwanese have a history of being marginalized by outsiders. We often hear of criminals flying off the island before they can be prosecuted. If Taiwan was part of China, this wouldn’t happen. There’s a schmuck in Pakistan that murdered his wife and in-laws and got away with it. There’s a rapist in Israel that got away with it, too, and a number of creeps thumbing their noses at Taiwan justice from the Japanese shores. There are dozens of drug dealers and schemers out of Taiwan’s reach. But if the Taiwanese criminals overseas are caught, they are sent back to China, officially the representative of Taiwan in the U.N. world body. But they’re safe in Hong Kong, thanks to that loophole.
It is okay to slander China in Chinese from Hong
Kong, from Taiwan, from Singapore, in the name of freedom of speech; the same
freedom of speech that U.S. and its lackeys in Taiwan have used to misinform
and spread false news and fascism? What KMT demigods are worshiped for in
Taiwan as a last hope for reunification? China can’t resist using it, either.
Does Hong Kong still perpetuate the myth that
there is more freedom of speech in the west? The right to scream “fire” in a crowded
theater? The right to say there is no global warming?
There is
no free speech anymore, anywhere, as U.S. dumbed-down mindsets spread like a
virus around the world and criminals take refuge in the White House. In the
name of the People’s Republic, China cannot let Chinese criminals and ‘freedom
fighters’ take refuge in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Hong Kong: "The Pearl of Asia", acting like Orwell's Molly, the beautiful, vain, and
spoiled white mare that drives Mr. Jones's carriage. Mollie wears beautiful ribbons
and is regularly given sugar treats by Mr. Jones. After the revolution, she does not like the work on the farm or the hardships she faces
there. Mollie; the bourgeoisie that did not participate in the rebellion
instead using their prestige and to argue against communism. Mollie, the first of the beasts
of Animal Farm to leave and desert the cause of animal supremacy.In a Chinese revolution that has gotten too far away from its mission. She might never be reformed, left too long to re-educate.
