No Such Pressure

We do not particularly favour Alan Leong or Donald Tsang. We are asking why the people of HK, the 7 million, be striped of their right to collectively choose an Chief Executive for HK. On this solitary point Alan Leong gets my favour.

It is widely believed that our motherland does not want to grant this right to people of HK. Well, I don’t think so. Or at the minimum, our motherland is more opened minded than we think – as Alan said, look how Donald became “blessed” though he was labelled the “British Camp”. Our motherland and the Chinese government is not the force that keeps us from direct elections. Use your common sense – our national army is stationed in HK, and people of HK do not have a history of rebelliance at all. So why is there the theory going all around ?

The answer, I believe, is that there are a group of people wanting to keep this state – The state of illusion that HK people asking for universal suffrage is against the interest of China, the state of this small circle election, the state of HK people being robbed of their voting right. Only at such state could they continue to be important, and continue to keep their influence to the administration for their own interest – political interest, business interest.

Come on HK people, don’t be fooled. Come on our motherland, don’t be fooled. I understand human beings are born to be selfish. But, life has a limited span. How come some people could exhibit selfishness so sheer ?

Our motherland is indeed more opened minded than we think, kids. :)

  1. What about the theory that the Communist Party is afraid that free election in HK will lead to similar demand in the Mainland, which could put the Communist Party’s rule at risk?

  2. The economic system of China is proven so far. But the political system is becoming more and more of a hurdle to growth of China. Some might say the power of the party is primal that anything putting that to risk shall be suppressed. But time rolls forward. The world economy is becoming more and more interwoven. Communications technology tears down all borders. Suppression would just starken and defer that conflict.

    Yes I know. The key is power. The key is money. The status quo of high economic growth and tight political control might be optimal for those terms – at the moment. But building and defering conflicts within billion people is not for the long term I believe. For true longetivity of that power, the ruling party needs to win the love of people.

    Political reform would be the key, but it could equally be risky. However, we have a very suitable test ground to start – HK.

    I am in no way against the ruling Communist party. I was born in China, spent my memorable childhood there and all I could remember about the Party were positive. I am also very amazed by its achievement for the billion people, and I truly understand that the current situation – suppression of speech, suppression of religion, etc. are the result of all the constraints around. This is natural. Game theory. What I heartfully hope is that the Communist Party could transform itself to a party that we all love, a Party that most people would love to engage, a Party that emboses a great name in history of our great motherland.
