秦晋：美、英抵御习近平，应以子之矛攻子之盾

【2020年05月26日訊】作者：中国民运组织“民主中国阵线”主席秦晋

香港国安法在北京人大的提出是习近平的孤注一掷，另一方面也是西方主要民主国家对中共本质认识的严重缺失所导致，尤其是当事国英国的缩头乌龟式的政治表现纵容默许了北京的有恃无恐和步步进逼。

习近平、中共正困兽犹斗，以一国之力与世界文明进行殊死的搏斗，以“横的怕楞的，楞的怕不要命”的方式对抗美国和西方。

当前美国行政当局对中共的反应没有错误，但是反击遏制尚未能落实到实处，盖因川普没有政治远见，依然对中共怀有幻想。而英国是最应该回应的，英国现有的回应极其软弱无能，提供几十万富有港人移居英国是错误之举，不值得称道，下下策。

正确的回应应该是回到1984年中英联合声明，既然北京单方面撕毁协议，公然破坏“一国两制”五十年不变和“港人治港”的双方共同认可的原则和移交方案，英国则应该正色警告中共，并且退出1984年联合声明，重新收回香港，中策。

英国应该拿出1840年兵临广州，1982年撒切尔夫人果断出兵福克纳群岛（马尔维纳斯群岛）的勇气和决心，此乃上策。

可惜英国首相约翰逊没有因为疫情死去，如果他死于武汉病毒，也许今天英国的反应有很大不同。 

五眼联盟中约翰逊是怂包，特鲁多也是软蛋，唯澳洲莫里森可圈可点，在应对中共邪恶的时候，表现出了政治勇气和道义原则。新西兰虽小，也表现了她应有的立场原则和国格。

美国领导世界，正承受着最大的压力和困难。总体上川普应对得当，但是缺乏政治远见和道义担当，在与危害世界最凶残的中共邪恶交手过程中，时常看不清问题本质而自误。  若以其人之道还治其人之身，美国则应该效仿北京，告示北京美国欲将作废三个公报，摒弃作茧自缚的“一个中国”策略，提升与台湾关系，采用两德模式和两韩模式，在不久将来对两岸实行双重承认。

唯有如此，才能有效阻遏习近平在国际舞台上的胡作非为，才能有效抵御中共狂妄的狼子野心。

The introduction of China’s National Security Law for Hong Kong is in fact Xi Jinping’s brutal desperation to challenge the civilized world.

It is also the result of a serious lack of understanding about the true essence of the CCP in the major Western democracies, which encourages the Chinese authoritarian regime to make mischief similar to the blind appeasement of Chamberlain and Daladier which encouraged Hitler’s Nazism.

As cowardly as mice, the UK’s responses to Beijing merely boosted Xi Jinping’s wild ambition to take further aggressive moves. The incumbent US Administration’s response to Xi Jinping’s madness was, generally speaking, OK; but effectively restraining Beijing needs improvement as there is still a big gap to fill as Trump lacks a visionary view and is still hesitant about how to defeat the CCP, in spite of the US being powerful enough.  

The United Kingdom should have responded strongly to Beijing tearing up the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. The current response from the United Kingdom is extremely weak and worryingly incompetent. It is a definite wrong move for the UK to allow hundreds of thousands of wealthy Hong Kong people to immigrate to the UK.

The correct response should at the very least to go back to the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration and reclaim the UK’s sovereignty over HK. Since Beijing unilaterally tore up the agreement and openly violated their political promise to keep Hong Kong unchanged for 50 years, the UK has every reason to warn Beijing of its intention to retake Hong Kong’s sovereignty by withdrawing from the 1984 Joint Declaration. If the Brits are gutsy, they could go further and send troops to protect the Hong Kong people just as they had in 1840, and Thatcher’s decisive dispatch to the Faulkner Islands (Malvinas) in 1982.

Unfortunately, the incumbent British Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not have even a sliver of this kind of political courage and wisdom. If he had died of the coronavirus from Wuhan, perhaps the British reaction today would have been different.  Among the Five Eyes Alliance countries, Johnson from the UK has been really spineless and ineffective when dealing with aggressive Beijing, has Canada’s Trudeau. Australia’s Morrison government was commendable in actively withstanding the pressure and bullying by Beijing when responding to the CCP, and Australia showed political courage and firm moral principles. Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand is also doing well in sticking to the position and principles she espouses.

The United States leads the world but often fails to demonstrated true leadership. On the whole, Trump’s response to Beijing has been OK, but he lacks political foresight and moral responsibility. In the process of dealing with the evil CCP, he often fails to see the true nature of the problem, and deceives himself.   Giving Beijing a taste of its own medicine, the Trump administration should inform Beijing the United States’ intention to abolish the three communiqués, abandon the self-defeating ‘One-China’ policy, and promote relations with Taiwan just as they did by adopting dual recognition of both East and West Germany and both North and South Korea, and should do in the near future in dealing with both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

Only in this way can Xi Jinping’s absurdity and brazenness in violating international norms be effectively foiled, and CCP’s aggression be reduced to a pulp.
