The rapid legislation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law put the Democratic Progressive Party, which was unprepared, into a dilemma.
If we continue to hold high the banner of so-called "human rights" and allow "Hong Kong independence" violent elements to obtain "political asylum" in Taiwan, it will not only be difficult for the Taiwanese people to accept, but it will also make cross-strait relations worse. However, if the so-called "support for Hong Kong" is just a slogan to support Hong Kong, it will not only slap in the face of its own criticism of "one country, two systems", but will also arouse the dissatisfaction of the "Hong Kong independence" and "Taiwan independence" forces.
The DPP is in a dilemma
Although the DPP is based on its "anti-China" ideology and continues to seize political interests, it still vigorously criticizes the restrictions on so-called "human rights" in the Hong Kong National Security Law, but it always has more empty slogans than substantive actions.
Tsai Ing-wen's information picture
Because if we really want to provide necessary assistance, we need to amend Article 18 of the "Hong Kong and Macau Relations Ordinance", which is the relevant legal source, and Article 25 of its implementation rules, to be specific, clear and feasible, but Civil Join the party but don't want to deal with . In terms of implementation agencies, the "Mainland Affairs Council" in charge of this matter has not established relevant units. It only announced the "Hong Kong Humanitarian Aid and Care Action Project" in a vague way, and then set the window in the private consortium "Taiwan" Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Cooperation Promotion Association", under which the "Taiwan-Hong Kong Service Exchange Office" was established to accept applications. It can be seen that the "Taiwan-Hong Kong Service Exchange Office" has three groups: "Consulting Services", "Project Management" and "Administrative Affairs" , and only during working hours from Monday to Friday, there are dedicated personnel to answer the phone and receive consultations. seems to only have the telephone customer service function of of ordinary companies.
In fact, since the "anti-amendment turmoil" occurred in Hong Kong last year, in accordance with Article 18 of the "Hong Kong-Macau Relations Ordinance", only about 20 people have applied to obtain the right of residence in Taiwan based on political factors., but only The Presbyterian Church , which tends to advocate "Taiwan independence," has filed more than 200 applications, not to mention other pro-Hong Kong groups that have also filed applications. From this point of view, the chances of the application being approved are very low.
Such results are not surprising, because the average Taiwanese people have doubts about the violent elements of "Hong Kong independence" that affect social stability. Coupled with Taiwan's current poor economic situation, low wages and long working hours, and the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of people who have been laid off or taken unpaid leave by their companies has reached a record high, making it increasingly difficult for young fresh graduates to find jobs. ; If the so-called humanitarian grounds are used to admit Hong Kong people without economic foundation who come to Taiwan to escape the national security law, it will inevitably crowd out work and even school resources for the Taiwanese people. Then who will provide humanitarian assistance to the Taiwanese people affected by ? What about ?
Recognize One China and it will suddenly become clear
The implementation details of the "Hong Kong National Security Law" will take effect on the 7th. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities claimed that they will closely monitor the implementation of the law at all times. If it causes harm to Taiwan or is unreasonable, "they will consider countermeasures." ". It is not yet known how the DPP authorities will counterattack, and they may only pay lip service to it. Because Taiwan has the "Five National Security Laws" and the "Reverse Osmosis Law", Hong Kong's China Review News Agency stated that Taiwan actually has no position to judge the "Hong Kong National Security Law".
Taiwan’s so-called “Five National Security Laws” refer to the five laws related to Taiwan’s security that were passed by Taiwan’s legislative body in 2019 to amend the third reading of the “Law”. When the Democratic Progressive Party authorities promoted the revision of the "Five National Security Laws", it caused great controversy. The focus was on the concerns of restricting personal freedoms, controlling the media, and controlling speech, causing a major setback in cross-strait relations. Many people question whether the restoration of Dongchang will allow Taiwan to return to the era of martial law? "Not to mention making too much concessions." In addition to the "Five National Security Laws", Taiwan also has an "Anti-infiltration Law." Ma Ying-jeou is outspoken and hits the nail on the head.
Taiwan's "Five National Security Laws" and "Reverse Osmosis Law" have built a high wall between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and buried broken glass and barbed wire on top of the wall, deepening the deterioration and regression of cross-Strait relations.The "Hong Kong National Security Law" has been promulgated and implemented. The DPP authorities had better give up the idea of taking "countermeasures". As long as they follow the legislative spirit of the current "Regulations on Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area" on the island, recognize that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the same China. , handling relations with the mainland and Hong Kong accordingly, not only will it not be in a dilemma when facing the Hong Kong National Security Law, but it will also bring clarity to the plight of cross-strait relations that has been mired in gloom.
