Forces agitating for violence, chaos will be rejected
People's
Daily app
The US
signed into law the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019,
confusing right from wrong, in an attempt to blatantly bolster rioters and
violence as well as intentionally disorder the current situation of Hong
Kong.
The perverse
acts of some US politicians will only arouse the indignation of all Chinese,
including those in Hong Kong, exposing the hypocrisy, selfishness and hegemonic
desire of the US side.
The violence
conducted by rioters in the past five months cannot be disguised or beautified
by some countries. Radicals attacked the legislative council, government
buildings and other public facilities, and set malls, banks and campuses on
fire. They deliberately attacked dissidents, violated human rights such as
freedom of speech, and hurt innocent citizens. Such misdeeds are appalling and
outrageous.
Such
violence to undermine the rule of law and disrupt social order in the city is
terrorism, making Hong Kong, once the safest city on earth, a place filled with
petrol bombs and fires. Universities have turned into war zones where radicals
gathered to make weapons, seriously infringing upon the basic freedom and
rights of all Hongkongers.
According to
statistics, more than 460 groups of traffic lights in Hong Kong were damaged,
46,000 meters of railings were demolished and about 2,900 square meters of
floor tiles on the sidewalks were destroyed as of the end of October. One
hundred forty five subway stations and light rail stations that were often used
by Hong Kong citizens were sabotaged along with facilities inside the stations.
The access gates were damaged about 1,600 times, surveillance cameras inside
the stations about 1,100 times and the routes of more than 300 franchised
buses, 300 minibuses and all tram routes had to be diverted or stop operation
due to road closures and illegal activities of rioters.
"Hong
Kong stares into the abyss amid growing violence," said a report in
the Economist. Even some American media admitted that some Hong Kong
protesters are becoming "increasingly violent and ugly."
"Hong
Kong's economic and social governance has been seriously damaged by the
chaos."
"What
is happening in Hong Kong is no longer a legal expression of pursuit, but a
destruction of their homes."
"No
country in the world can tolerate such violent crimes."
Such voices
are echoed by intellectuals across the world who expressed shock and anger at
these violent acts.
The US law
seriously distorts the facts, portraying the violent acts as "a beautiful
landscape" and the police's extremely restrained law enforcement as
"violent suppression."
No wonder
people began to question where these US politicians put their conscience and
human nature. Some claimed that their "human rights standards are
applicable around the world", and consider the law to be "a
commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law". In fact,
America's human rights record is so infamous that it's not qualified to lecture
other countries. The law was simply a trick for them to confuse the public, and
support separatist forces, using a double standard on human rights issues.
As justice
always prevails, Hong Kong's strong call for "opposing violence, loving
peace, supporting the police and protecting security," as well as
citizens' voluntary acts of clearing roadblocks and their petitions urging the
court to punish rioters, all hit American politicians in the face,
demonstrating the strong desire of all citizens in Hong Kong to end violence and
stop the chaos.
Hong Kong is
China's Hong Kong and its affairs are China's internal affairs. The Chinese are
able to settle Hong Kong affairs. We will resolutely implement the "one
country, two systems" policy, firmly support the chief executive in leading
the HKSAR government to govern in accordance with laws, and firmly support the
Hong Kong police in strict law enforcement and the judicial authorities in
punishing radicals. Any attempt to undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and
stability as well as hinder China's development will never succeed!
