We are grateful to have an engaging afternoon spent with this super fun activity and best part is, it’s super durable for my earthquake kids 😈😈

Without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half (Lee Yee
Yesterday the Xinhua News Agency ann
unced that the Hong Kong version of national security law would be included on the agenda of the coming meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. Just a day after, Tam Yiu Chung, a member of the Committee, said he didn’t receive any information about the arrangement. The ridiculous fact that the agenda can be suddenly updated without any advance notice proves again the Committee is nothing more than a rubber stamp. If this can happen to an organization of national level, how can one expect the local officials here in Hong Kong to have any free will?

The aforementioned arrangement is clearly a deliberate delay so as to wait for the outcome of the Hawaii meeting between Yang Jie-chi and Pompeo. Possibly, to avoid severe sanctions from the US, Beijing has tried to trade off with a milder version of the national security law in Hong Kong. As things unfolded, after 7 hours of “constructive” dialogue, the negotiation just broke down. Right after that, the updated agenda was announced and the spokesperson of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated, “China’s determination to push for a national security law in Hong Kong is unshakeable.”

Obviously, the Legislative Council (LegCo) election in September is the reason why Beijing is rushing the Hong Kong version national security law through. Tsang Kwok-wai, the Secretary for Hong Kong’s Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, publicly stated that those who are against the national security law are putting their loyalty to the People’s Republic of China to suspicion. This in fact provides a ready-made excuse to disqualify candidates in the coming election. In view of this, all pro-democracy candidates will have to face a very difficult dilemma: be expressive of their standpoint about the national security law and get disqualified, or go against their will, support it and get casted aside by their supporters.

The Hong Kong version of national security law is simply against common sense. Recently, Cheng Yeuk-wah, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Justice, stated that it is “unreasonable and unrealistic” to expect the law to be implemented in accordance to the principles of the common law, and the addition of a sunset clause to it is something “unnecessary”. Such saying is clearly a violation of the Basic Law, which outlines that Hong Kong maintains the common law system. What’s more, it is inappropriate to put the Hong Kong version of national security law in Annex III, which is made for national laws only. From a more practical point of view, It is scary for the general public to a see such happenings as the arbitrary implementation of the law, direct enforcement of it by mainland officials and the possible trials by courts in China.

All these are evidence that the protection of the Basic Law no longer exists. The sad reality is that the people of Hong Kong can only choose to emigrate, or stay but live without freedom. With the threat of the national security law and extensive disqualification, the prospect of the pro-democracy camp in the upcoming election is extremely gloomy, and the chance to have them dominating the Legislative Coumcil has virtually vanished.

On the other hand, it is worth noticing that on online forums popular among the young, the majority tends to support the implementation of the national security law, oppose the bargaining approach of the legal circle and pro-democracy camp, and prefer harsh American sanctions. But make no mistake, the young are no supporters of the legislation. They are rather diehard fans of the “mutual destruction” proposition.

The current situation just reminds me of a scene in a movie from the 80s called “Out of Africa”. While confronting a pride of lions, the hero suggests that the heroine should not run, because the gesture will just invite the beasts to pounce against her. Instead, if one doesn’t flinch, it eases the danger. And soon the lions go away.

As Churchill once said: “One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.”

A salute to Mr Yuen Kung Yi (Lee Yee)

The Hong Kong version of national security law not being found on the agenda of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress does not connote backpedalling, but just a brief lull for the international community to come to terms with it and Hong Kong people to assimilate its impact. The introduction of the law will be right back on track at the right moment after that.

In the international community, except for North Korea and several other nations, all civilized countries condemned the law. China has been besieged and isolated since. Although, by whistling past the graveyard, the HKSAR government claimed that the impact of stern sanctions allegedly to be imposed by the US is limited, China and Hong Kong will be buckling with merely a ban on using SWIFT for international money transfer. No wonder Yang Jie-chi inquired for US Secretary of State Affairs Mike Pompeo in Hawaii on behalf of Xi Jin-ping in no time. The intention of China to mitigate the enmities of Hong Kong and the world towards the national security law is just plain as a pikestaff.
In Hong Kong, in the very beginning, the announcement of enacting the law did make a commotion in the mass, yet later on, quite some lawyers, politicians and democrats started to succumb to it. Being oblivious to the fact that the Basic Law shall deny Beijing the legislative power over Hong Kong, they have been dickering whether the law should be effectuated in accordance with Hong Kong’s legal procedure by the law enforcement institutions in Hong Kong and the defendants tried by the courts in the city. By doing so, they have no objection to the law anymore in effect, but a rather humble request for a smidgen of rickety protection for Hong Kong people, and the legal professionals so that they can still wrest a living from lawsuits, which is indeed chipping away at the rights of Hong Kong people.

Meanwhile, China is working hard. Deng Zhong-hua, an unknow Deputy Director of Hong Kong and Macau Office, said in Shenzhen: The SAR has the major responsibility for conserving national security, and the law enforcement and jurisdiction should be accomplished by the SAR. But he indicated that the central government shall preserve its jurisdiction over some “extremely serious cases” under particular conditions. He did not elaborate what “extremely serious cases” are, but just said that the cases are “scarce”.
We are already familiar with the abovementioned situation. In the early 80s, a commotion and general feeling of insecurity in the mass was also created in the very beginning when China was believed to recover Hong Kong’s sovereignty. Before long, Hong Kong people had succumbed to “one country, two systems” and “Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong” by concocting a course of self-comforting medicine called “democracy ruling Hong Kong” for the democrats and those who were unwilling or unqualified to emigrate. Having taken the drug for decades, has “democracy ruling Hong Kong’ been realized yet?
With the iron law upheld by most countries that vested interest comes first, the authoritarian rests assured: no plans are unsuccessful by baiting traps. Believe it or not.
Seeing the legal professionals tend to succumb to the introduction of the law after initiating the objections by themselves, the Hong Kong people who are still clear-headed are more than despondent. About a month ago, an elderly KOL named Yuen Kung-yi popped up. Despite having been living in the US, Beijing and Shanghai for decades, where he has gained ample experience in establishing relationships with politicians and businessmen, he has carried off most endorsements from Hong Kong netizens by scoring 6-digit views for each video clip he posted. With persistence in the Hong Kong values and unique perspectives and deliberations concerning Hong Kong, he is sincere and pragmatic, neither flinching nor self-seeking. He has even flied to Washington, D.C. to lobby the US politicians in the past few days with the belief that actions speak way louder than words. Amid the low morale among Hong Kong people, his remarks are pretty inspiring and heartening.
In his early speech, he objected to Hong Kong’s politicians and legal professionals pulling back, deeming that a discouragement to US’s sanctions. Yesterday, his daughter Erica Yuen, former TV artiste, wrote on her Facebook page that her father “is smeared out of context with fake old news and conspiracy after having just a few words of criticism of a local politician, but he “is being occupied with serious business in Washington, D.C., so will not have time and effort on tattle and prate.
“Tattle and prate” is, however, bitterly disappointing. Hong Kong has been descending for more than 20 years, not only because of the intervention of the CCP, but also the mentality of dragging out an ignoble life advocated by some politicians and KOLs. Whenever an incisive viewpoint is found, they are busy witch hunting. No wonder the CCP has Hong Kong by the short hairs.

I admire Mr. Yuen Kung-yi for his coming forward as a businessman to speak up in the darkest hour, not to mention the enormous number of views online that has suggested his viewpoints represent mainstream public opinions. One of his most significant remarks is: The last laugh lies on Hong Kong people’s resolve.

Anyone can touch with a horse here.
She was afraid of a horse till the last, but he gave a carrot to a horse without flinching.
