  How Could Tsai Ing-wen Continue in Utilizing Hong Kong Incidents for Her Own Benefit?

 Translation of an Excerpt

 

The demonstration activities against the amendment bill to the "Fugitive Offenders Ordinance" in Hong Kong have gotten out of control; the police and residents clash endlessly, especially the siege on the Liaison Office of the PRC government and insulting the PRC national flag and emblem, which already stepped on Beijing’s red line. Would the "2/28" tragedy be repeated in Hong Kong? This stirs the hearts of Chinese communities everywhere, including overseas.

At the crucial moment when Hong Kong faces a choice of whither to go, the Green camp should exercise maximum restraint, not attempting to salvage any benefits from the possible tragedies in Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s violent activities have snowballed; the Mainland’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office has recently called three press conferences and one seminar one after the other; Beijing’s worries are clearly seen. Despite the fact that the current keynote is still relying on the Hong Kong SAR government, the police and the masses themselves to counter the violence and stop the chaos within the scope of "Hong Kong ruled by Hongkongers" and "a high degree of autonomy", the lessons of the "color revolutions" have led Beijing to think that it could not but begin to prepare for the worst, issuing stern warnings to the forces against “the amendment bill.”

For those Green camp figures who do not admit that they are Chinese, the intramural killings not only represent not a tragedy, conversely, they may be a rare opportunity in a thousand years. If people say "the anti-amendment" demonstrations let Tsai Ing-wen pick up a "gun", then Beijing's possible crack-down with force could be no less than letting her pick up a "cannon." The Green camp, on the one hand, could target their artillery fire at the other side of the Strait, lambasting Beijing for slaughtering Hongkongers, further inciting hate-China and Chinaphobic sentiments, and on the other hand, aim their guns domestically, lambasting their political rivals for being "pro-China." If indeed there would be such a scenario, then the Green camp’s hypocritical “haughty sense of justice” would, in reality, be enjoying watching the scene; this sends a chill down the spine.
