Improving Hong Kong's electoral system is a battle to defend the political power and livelihood economy, and it is also a struggle against subversion. It can be seen that the situation in Hong Kong is dangerous and we must do our utmost to save the desperate situation. The serious turmoil in the past few years clearly shows that this is not unfounded worries, the crisis has indeed deepened gradually. The “road map” of the Hong Kong opposition to seize power is all too clear, and the international anti-China camp's arrogance using Hong Kong reactionists has also been exposed. If Hong Kong does not reform its electoral system to prevent this activity, a huge political crisis is bound to break out, people's livelihood and the economy will also decline rapidly, and the prophecy of the destruction of good and bad alike will come true.

The co-operation of inside and outside to seize power is all the clear

The Occupy Central master Dai Yaoting put forward the “ten steps for real speculation” last year. Recently some people have defended him by pointing out that this was just a rhapsody of his idiotic dreams. However, if you look closely at the development of political turmoil in the past few years, you can see that this is definitely not a fantasy but a set of actions to seize power with integrated strategies and definite goals.

As early as before the Occupy Central in 2014, some political figures, under the banner of political reform, took advantage of the radical wave in the society and combined various anti-government forces, including the rapidly growing “Hong Kong independence” forces, to agitate the masses, intending to break through the gap in the political system and gradually gain power.

Their strategy is to greatly increase the cost of political reform, making it difficult to be accepted by the central government and the SAR government, and then instigates fierce street action, escalating the pressure through endless riots and forcing the central government and the SAR government to make concessions and give up the power. If they succeed, they can take advantage of the situation to seize more positions, and eventually take over the position of chief executive. Even if they fail, it is possible to use continuous “resistance” to attack the parliament and conduct street riots to create even greater chaos and accumulate energy for power seizures. To this end, they will take cruel violent and sabotage actions without hesitation.

During this period, international anti-China forces also actively utilized Hong Kong militants, from the aspects of indirect support to direct planning, and connected with Taiwan independence organizations. The goal is not only to subvert the regime of the SAR, but also directly threaten Beijing. This model is exactly the same as the “color revolution” that began in Libya ten years ago. History tells us that the results of the revolution are constant internal fighting, economic collapse, and vain democracy.

The shadow of riots has not cleared and we must prevent a comeback

Under the conspiracy to seize power, Hong Kong was plunged into unprecedented riots. Street flames were everywhere, the social order was disintegrated, and the economy and people’s livelihoods were severely hit. The citizens suffered a lot during the turbulent days for more than a year. Until the central government resolutely implemented the Hong Kong National Security Law, the order in Hong Kong gradually turned normal.

However, as Leung Aishi, the former deputy director of the Hong Kong Basic Law Commission, said, foreign powers still threaten the country and the SAR, and the subversive scheme has not disappeared. Unrest may recur after the pandemic, so strict prevention must be taken.

China’s reform of Hong Kong’s electoral system is to prevent Hong Kong Independence forces from entering the government system and seize power through elections, and to reinvigorate the momentum and bring the “black riots” back to life. With the full implementation of reforms, the “patriots” will be able to firmly grasp the power of governance. Only in this way can political disasters be avoided and the people's livelihood economy can have bright development prospects. Hong Kong's status as an international financial center can be more stable and enjoy a better future.
