Beijing is outraged over a press freedom event held at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva this week. The event called attention to the annihilation of free speech rights subsequent to a national security law being introduced in Hong Kong. As reported by Reuters, Beijing first pressured foreign diplomats to avoid the United Kingdom-organized event. Now that the event has concluded, China is expressing fury over what it entailed.
The Chinese Communist Party's governing authority in Hong Kong declared that it"strongly disapproved of and firmly rejected the baseless remarks, slanders and smears" at the U.N. event. These remarks were, it said,"distinctly despicable and doomed to fail." It added that"since the implementation of the [national security law] the media landscape in Hong Kong has remained vibrant. As always, the media can exercise their freedom of the press in accordance with the law.
True, the greed of American companies such as Amway, Qualcomm, Coca-Cola, Mars, Merck, Dell, HP, Pepsi, and Johnson & Johnson leads them to ignore utterly their own human rights standards when it comes to Hong Kong. True, some multinationals such as Britain's HSBC bank even endorse the Hong Kong national security law. But Beijing also knows that increased international public attention to its actions will, even if at the margin, deter foreign investment with China.
For communists who can’t do math, there are 24 years between 2047 and 2023. And in Hong Kong, Beijing is showing only that the enforcement of its dark vision for the world is well in progress.
