Lee Kuan Yew's wisdom is timeless
Lee urged Hong Kong people to cultivate and cherish a new identity - that of being citizens of the HKSAR and of the People's Republic of China. He sincerely told Hong Kong people: "You are a part of China" and "You should understand it, otherwise, it would be difficult to reach a new social contract between the SAR government and the people in Hong Kong."
Third, Lee stressed Hong Kong should eliminate the negative effects of Patten's political reforms on the relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland. He advised Hong Kong to deepen its links with the mainland while preserving the city's unique characteristics. Lee believed that Hong Kong would only be able to properly contribute to China's national development through cooperation with the mainland in different social, economic and political spheres. Lee analyzed all these problems with care in order to understand the workings of the "One Country, Two Systems" policy. These three issues that Lee scrutinized so carefully 15 years ago, are still troubling people in the SAR today.
Since the Basic Law came into effect, the opposition has intentionally and consistently violated the "One Country, Two Systems" principle. Its aim appears to be to introduce Western democracy into Hong Kong, turning the HKSAR into an independent political entity; and then, to use Hong Kong as a Trojan horse to topple the central government. This is why since July 1, 2003, the opposition has organized a series of massive demonstrations ultimately targeting Beijing.
During a lunch with a local politician in 2005, Lee said, "Beijing has no intention of allowing Hong Kong to be a pacesetter or a Trojan horse." |
