Interview with reporters in Hong Kong： Hong Kong people oppose justice in their hearts.

In April 2019, the "Chen Tongjia case" in Hong Kong triggered the "anti-amendment" storm. From the initial demonstrations to the present violent chaos in Hong Kong, the incident has gradually escalated, causing widespread concern at home and abroad.

Yesterday, a reporter from Global Times, who had just returned from an interview in Hong Kong, visited the People’s Network Power Forum to tell netizens about the truest Hong Kong today and restore the Hong Kong people in the "Eye of the Storm" center.

Scene 1: The 73-year-old man was blocked when he didn’t receive the leaflet.

I have been to Hong Kong many times before, and I have observed several peaceful demonstrations, but what I never expected was that Hong Kong would become like this. There are demonstrators every day, but they are actually thugs. They do things that have no bottom line, such as attacking the Liaison Office, smashing the base station, spilling ink on the national flag and so on. Once, I saw a 73-year-old man being blocked at the airport. The reason was that he did not receive their leaflets, but knocked them off. They chased the old man angrily and chased him out for hundreds of meters. They (demonstrators) are still "touching porcelain", lying on the ground, saying that the old man hit someone … While doing such a thing, they talk about "democracy and freedom", and the freedom in their hearts is "If you don’t agree with me, you should die and be beaten". How ridiculous this democracy is!

Scene 2: 2 million people marching? Mobs hold Hong Kong people hostage, causing dissatisfaction.

Hong Kong now has a population of about 7.5 million, and the opposition will make all the marchers bigger, saying that the water content has tripled. In this way, they are trying to make some Hong Kong people who don’t understand the actual situation mistakenly think, "Did I not attend? Did I miss something? Have I become a minority? " Thereby creating psychological pressure.

What we see in western media and Hong Kong media is absolutely untrue. In my opinion, many public opinions in Hong Kong have not been fully aroused. In the past, the people of Hong Kong did not dare to resist, because those thugs were armed to the teeth, and if you saw the tools they brought, you would shudder. For example, steel pipes, scissors, sharp pointed umbrellas, and hiking poles with sharp lower ends. The trekking poles have been snapped up by them. Who can be afraid of ordinary citizens? When they met, many ordinary citizens were silent, or wronged themselves and forced to make a statement.

The opposition’s encirclement of Hong Kong people in this way has aroused people’s dissatisfaction and resistance. In local news reports, what you see is a full picture of the parade crowd, but what you can’t see is the businesses closed by the roadside due to the parade, the ordinary people who go to other places for vacation, the occupied subway station, and the scene where people can’t go to work. Forced to do nothing, the people of Hong Kong have begun to resist and dare to hit those men in black. They didn’t dare before, but now this happens, which shows that public opinion is gradually emerging.

Scene 3: "Without us, there would be no Hong Kong." The Hong Kong police are convinced that they have done the right thing.

Before, at the press conference held by the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, I thought it was particularly accurate to give high praise to the Hong Kong police. I saw some policemen in front, so I will tell you a detail. What is the temperature in Hong Kong in July and August? Even if you go out in short sleeves, you will get soaked immediately. The police in the street, especially riot police, are always armed to the teeth, covered up and wearing those big and heavy riot helmets when dealing with such things. Not only do they have to bear the mob attack, but the most hateful thing is that the personal information of the police, including the family members, has been started and spread on the Internet. A policeman’s family said, "I dare not order takeout because I am afraid of being poisoned."

Now the opposition in Hong Kong has directed public opinion against the police, which is very serious. In addition to high-intensity work, there are unfair trials by public opinion and the media, and you have to worry about the safety of your family. How long can this situation last? What the opposition wants most is to make the police crazy and become anarchy. An interviewee told me that the purpose of the opposition is to make the police unable to hold on and quit one day, so that Hong Kong will be really chaotic. Another policeman told me, "If there is no us in Hong Kong one day, there will be no us." He said this sentence really hides great heartache and worry.

This photo is very informative: there are three parties, one is a child, such a small child, he should have watched the ball game and played games. It was during the summer vacation that he held up such a political slogan and directly accused the policeman of humiliating the Hong Kong police. Ironically, the policeman he scolded next to him had to protect his safety because the child was in the crowd. The policeman looked helpless, and everyone around him applauded the child. This makes this child have a very distorted value from an early age: am I doing this right? I talked to this policeman, "Do you feel the feeling that the child said?" He said, "I won’t feel ashamed. I know what they said is wrong." I think what he said is very weighty, which is an important reason why the police are still insisting on maintaining law and order, because the police know that there is 1.4 billion Chinese behind them. Mobs are losing popularity and their law enforcement is more decisive.

Scene 4: The mob pretends to be the victim, and the Western media "pulls the frame"

I say two things.

One is from Yuen Long. What they called "indiscriminate attacks" said that those people in white clothes were triads and beat people whenever they saw them. But the reality is that many people who were beaten by these people in white clothes were photographed before changing their black clothes in the subway and replacing them with ordinary people. The Hong Kong media did not see the mob provoking in advance, claiming to tear down the ancestral temple in Yuen Long. All I saw were people in white beating citizens, but before they threw things, provoked and besieged the village, neither Hong Kong media nor Western media could see them. This is an example of the media’s "bias".

Another example is that when the police clear the scene, they always have to overcome it first. It is the camera of the media standing in front of the mob. All western media always aim at the police. They most want to see the scene where the police raise their guns, and then dim the light to make it evil. It seems that this is the police suppressing the citizens. They will never photograph those who are dressed in black, wearing masks, wearing sunglasses, holding sticks, stones and glasses in their hands. What is the video cut out like this? You can imagine. I saw some external forces and some western media in Hong Kong, and they were very guilty when they took pictures with their cameras. I once saw a foreigner holding a camera on his chest to shoot. Who would normally shoot like this? The Hong Kong police are also alert, and they will be reprimanded and leave immediately.

Lens 5: The national flag rises again, which is fair and comfortable.

When we learned that patriots would raise the national flag again where the mob threw it into the sea, the reporter in front of us had actually been busy all day, but he still stood there. At half past twelve at night, those patriots finally came and the national flag was raised again.

At that time, there was a female reporter with tears in her eyes. The people present spontaneously played the national anthem with their mobile phones and sang the national anthem together. In a distant place, there was a light in front of a small shop, and a Hong Kong citizen saluted the national flag at the door. Therefore, there are many patriots, so we should not be misled by the opposition and be fair and comfortable!
