Wang Zhenmin said that the abduction of Lee Bo in Hong Kong was “an unfortunate incident” and then said that Hong Kong’s independence contravenes “one country two systems”. Could he not connect the dots and work out the the calls for Hong Kong’s independence was a consequence of the “unfortunate incident” carried out by the communist party? Could he not work out that the abduction of people without a fair trial contravenes “one country two systems”? So China wants his cake and eat it too?
If the communist party wants to talk about the “rule of law” and then China needs to first respect the rule of law and understand that abducting people is “ILLEGAL”. The Rule of Law is not frivolous and you can pick and choose when you want to obey it and when not to. It is almost like a priest telling everyone to praise the lord to his followers when he is himself an atheist.
And lastly trying to draw some ridiculous timeline saying that under Mao it was a 30-year period of “Rule of Politics”, under Deng it was a 30-year period of “Rule of Economics” and that under Xi it was “Rule of Law”….. Abducting people is illegal… so what sort of “Rule of Law” does Xi follow? Under Xi Jin Ping we are going back to Mao with a period of “Rule of Politics”, in fact more so a period of “Rule by suppression”.
It pains me that the Communist Party can speak such nonsense and hypocrisy and frankly until the Communist Party comes forward and apologises for the ILLEGAL abduction of Lee Bo then they are not qualified to talk about the “Rule of Law” because they don’t believe in it.
