Overseas interests blamed for HK turmoil

Ex-legislator targets US, 'pro-Taiwan independence' forces and liberal
studies
The United States and "pro-Taiwan independence" forces are to blame for
recent turmoil in Hong Kong, according to a former Hong Kong member of the
Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, who said links between
the violent vandals and external forces have surfaced.
The observation by Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai, who served in the nation's top
legislature, came after repeated protests over a now-suspended extradition
bill in the past two months.
The ulterior motive is to throw Hong Kong into major turmoil, the former
president of the Legislative Council told China Daily in an exclusive
interview on Thursday.
"When Hong Kong is in a chaotic state, the US can unsettle China, while
people from Taiwan in favor of independence will say 'one country, two
systems' is not applicable to Taiwan because it is a failure in Hong Kong,"
Fan said.
"Due to the rapid rise of China, the US always sees China as a big threat.
If Hong Kong is unsettled, the city will lose its functions of contributing
to the nation's development, with the trade dispute being one of the US
tactics to unsettle China.
"In addition, the US and other Western powers can criticize China for not
doing well enough to maintain implementation of 'one country, two systems'
unchanged for 50 years," she said.
Thus, Fan said it was not strange that some people from Taiwan were
assisting and financing the violent protesters.
The city was in shock after masked radical protesters escalated violence on
July 1 by storming into the city's legislature and vandalizing the complex,
resulting in an early recess of the legislature and costing about HK$40
million to HK$50 million ($5.1 million to $6.4 million) to repair.
One of the lawless intruders, who took off his mask, was identified as a
"pro-Hong Kong independence" graduate of the University of Hong Kong and
reportedly fled to the US through Taiwan.
It was also reported by the media that a large group of violent rioters had
fled to Taiwan to seek asylum shortly after July 1. Taiwan leader Tsai
Ing-wen described them as "friends from Hong Kong" and said the Taiwan
authorities would consider their applications for asylum on humanitarian
grounds.
Fan said the violent protesters, who were manipulated by external
influences, intended to provoke and test the bottom line of the central
government by attacking the Legislative Council, the building of the Liaison
Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR and defacing the
national emblem.
The recent mayhem has also caused some to call into question liberal studies
in the city.
In the wake of the violent attack on July 1, Tung Chee-hwa, vice-chairman of
the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference, China's top advisory body, called liberal studies a total
failure.
The design of liberal studies is flawed, Fan said, since there are no
syllabuses or textbooks. It is up to the teachers to prepare teaching
materials for students, Fan said.
Currently, liberal studies is a compulsory subject and examinations also are
required.
"If students want to make high marks, they must follow what the teachers
teach them and adapt to the style of the examination papers. In case the
liberal studies teachers have strong political inclinations, they will
instill anti-China and anti-establishment ideas in the mind of students."
Fan's worries have been backed by recent cases of several liberal studies
teachers who were found to have posted messages full of hatred for the
city's police force, according to reports. Some even cursed the children of
police officers, reports said.
A veteran liberal studies teacher, Colin Lai, who was also chairman of the
liberal studies committee at the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment
Authority, was accused of uploading anti-police messages on his social media
page that read, "The whole family of black cops should die". After the case
was reported, he resigned from the HKEAA but has not resigned from the
school where he teaches.
Fan said Lai was the chairman of the liberal studies committee at HKEAA,
giving him a big say over examination papers and grading.
"That's the reason why, after the reunification in 1997, Hong Kong students'
affinity for the country has decreased," she said.
