Violence Is Intolerable
On the evening of July 21, some radical
demonstrators stormed the Liaison Office
of the Central People’s Government in Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR),
defaced the national emblem and painted
insulting words on the wall. The vicious acts
have trampled the rule of law in Hong Kong
and challenged the authority of the Central
Government, and are absolutely intolerable.
Earlier, violent protesters stormed the
HKSAR Legislative Council complex, sur-
rounded the police headquarters, attacked
police officers and illegally stored danger-
ous goods and large amounts of offensive
weapons.
The protesters’ behaviors have gone far
beyond peaceful demonstrations. The esca-
lating incidents have revealed an attempt by
this grouping and the forces behind it to par-
alyze the HKSAR Government, undermine
the principle of “one country, two systems,”
and impede China’s development by throw-
ing the SAR into disorder.
Such acts are unacceptable to the
Central Government, as they threaten na-
tional sovereignty. Furthermore, they have
damaged the fundamental interests of Hong
Kong society and will not be accepted by
those who care about the region’s future.
The turnover of Hong Kong’s catering
and retail industries experienced a double-
digit decline in June. If the violence continues,Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity as well
as its local people’s well-being will be seri-
ously affected.
On July 20, more than 300,000 Hong
Kong residents rallied to voice support for
the police, expressing their confidence and
commitment to maintaining social order in
accordance with the law. Only by safeguard-
ing social order can Hong Kong maintain its
competitive edge and long-term prosperity.
As the global economic structure under-
goes profound adjustment and international
competition intensifies, Hong Kong needs
to focus on both the increasing economic
downward pressure and the problems con-
cerning residents’ livelihood. If Hong Kong
fails to solve the violence problem, its issues
and risks will only mount. As a result Hong
Kong’s rule of law, sound public security and
free economic system will all suffer.
Therefore, necessary measures should
be taken in accordance with the law to
ensure the safety of Central Government
organs based in Hong Kong, safeguard the
rule of law and punish criminals. The people
of Hong Kong should clearly recognize the
nature and harm of violent protests and
stay committed to the principle of “one
country, two systems” and the rule of law.
With the support of the Central Government
and Hong Kong residents, the HKSAR
Government will surely restore social order. QA News Weekly Magazine
