would like to congratulate Chen Guangchi. His verdict on the "7.21 case" can be said to be a perfect demonstration of the CCP's rule of law principle of "law serves politics", which has made Hong Kong irreversibly move towards "mainlandization". No wonder Zheng Yanxiong, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said with satisfaction: "Hong Kong finally looks like 'Hong Kong, China'[1]." His achievements are great, and the "Beautiful New Hong Kong" under the national security system will have a bright future.
For the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens, a case as clear as day is, in his eyes, a difficult one to distinguish right from wrong. He claims that two "storms" interacted, "complicating the trial and blurring the lines between right and wrong." The difficulty in judging lies not in distinguishing right from wrong, but in using legal language to render white black and black white. This is the real difficulty. While his sophistry may please Beijing, it will forever inflict infamy on Hong Kong people. The National Security Law includes a charge of "causing hatred of the government," and Chan Kwong-chi's verdict certainly fulfills this role.
