Taiwan's nine -in -one local election ended with the unexpected defeat of the DPP.After the selection, there are many discussions on the influence of cross -strait relations, but there are relatively few discussions on the influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan relations.There is no reason for him. On the one hand, cross -strait relations are not the main issues of local elections in Taiwan; on the other hand, Hong Kong and Taiwan relations are relatively ignored.However, it is generally believed that if cross -strait relations can be improved, Hong Kong and Taiwan relations can also indirectly benefit; whether Hong Kong and Taiwan relations are likely to actively promote the communication between cross -strait relations, it is worth paying attention to the efforts of the three places on both sides of the strait.
At present, the relationship between Hong Kong and Taiwan is deeply affected by the downturn cross -strait relations.Although the Taiwan official MAC has repeatedly stated that it will not interfere or involve civil exchanges between the two parties and will not interfere with the internal issues of Hong Kong, it is clear that Beijing is very anxious about the interaction and convergence of Hong Kong independence and Taiwan independence.The media publicly attacked publicly, and repeatedly tightened the red line of politics and entry and exit to prevent Taiwan's civic society interact with the local power and democratic schools in Hong Kong.
Affected by the sluggish cross -strait relations
The anxiety of Beijing may be based on the following incidents. For example, after the Police -civilian conflict in Mong Kok in June this year, some Taiwan independent youths went to the Hong Kong office to protest the SAR government to suppress the Hong Kong independence, shouting the Mong Kok UprisingHong Kong citizens and political rights international supervision joint meetings held a press conference in Taiwan in July; officials of the MAC have made public comments on the issue of the Hong Kong National Party on the issue of the SAR Government many times.As a backbone or response, after 5 years after the Taiwan Affairs Director of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Affairs (August 2013 to July 2018), Lu Changshui (former Director of the MAC and Director of the Macau Affairs Department)In the delay, Lu Zeng's former chairman Wang Yuqi, the former chairman of the MAC and the chief executive of Macau Cui Shi'an, should be a acceptable candidate in Beijing.Lu Changshui has not yet obtained the work visa of the SAR Government. Taipei clearly believes that Beijing deliberately obstructs it, and even the influence, and even the SAR government has not yet announced the candidate of Zheng Weiyuan, the director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Taiwan (7 this year 7 (this yearHe has left at the end of the month).
Recently, Hong Kong and Taiwan relations are so stalemate.However, in fact, there are a lot of affairs in Hong Kong and Taiwan that need to be handled and coordinated.For example, a sensation in Hong Kong in February this year was killed in Taiwan. There was no need to coordinate and judicial mutual assistance in both sides in Hong Kong and Taiwan.Since the cross -strait joint crackdown on crimes and judicial mutual assistance agreements signed in 2009 do not include Hong Kong and Macao. The Taiwan Legislative Yuan has passed the International Criminal Judicial Mutual Aid Law in April 2018 and included in mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau.The Ministry communicated with the Hong Kong government through the MAC.However, if the governments of Hong Kong and Macao do not follow the principle of equality and reciprocity, Taiwan has the right to refuse to assist.In the case of Hong Kong Tsai Huafu Village, the defendant also fled Kaohsiung, Taiwan after his uncle. Fortunately, he returned to Hong Kong to surrender.These cases show that Hong Kong and Taiwan relations, which are subject to cross -strait relations, have affected the publicity of the people's justice.
Hong Kong and Taiwan relations are active positive signals
Although we are not optimistic about the current Hong Kong and Taiwan relations, some positive positive signals have appeared in the Hong Kong -Taiwan relations after the Jiuhe Election election, which can be regarded as an opportunity for future improvement.
First of all, after the election, Hong Kong -funded enterprise groups visited Kaohsiung City to express their willingness to invest.Southern Taiwan has long been governed by the DPP government. Now the Kuomintang South Korea Yu is elected. The political risk of political risks in the policy background of more Taiwanese counties and cities to participate in cross -strait exchanges will be welcomed by the Beijing State Council.expect.
Secondly, the Investigation Bureau of the Taiwan Ministry of Justice recently sent a contact window for the first -time legal secretary of the legal investigation to be dispatched to Hong Kong, which was dispatched for the first time, and was responsible for the contact window of money laundering prevention and financial crime investigation.This highly sensitive position can obtain the consent of the three parties. It is rare, which has important indicator significance for improving each other's goodwill and trust.
Third, despite the downturn of Hong Kong and Taiwan relations under the tight cross -strait relations, some officials of the Taiwan MAC can still access Hong Kong communication information with different roles and identities, communicate with the people and business, and even attend the double ten wine clubs; in addition,Scholars and journalists who may be the two -track diplomatic role still shuttle between the three places on both sides of the strait, showing that the communication channels have not completely interrupted.
Fourth, since December 5th, Hong Kong and Macao students can apply for extended 6 -month residence period to one year after graduating from Taiwan to graduate in Taiwan to facilitate finding jobs; they can apply for settlement in Taiwan for 5 years.This is a positive good news for Hong Kong students (the largest source of foreigners) with more than 8,000 people in Taiwan.
The Hong Kong Government is the greatest contribution to the flexibility and goodwill of the Hong Kong government
The Hong Kong -Taiwan relations after the Jiuhe 1 election are showing an organic situation in danger. How to seize this opportunity to avoid continuous rigidity or even deterioration of bilateral relations.It doesn't seem to be much, but the flexibility and mutual benefit to reflect the situation of the situation, not blindly speculate, and maintain the flexibility and reciprocity of communication channels will be the greatest positive contribution.
However, in recent days, Taiwan's award -winning and internationally renowned heavy metal rock orchestra flashes (have come to Hong Kong many times in the past) but cannot arrive in Hong Kong to participate in music festivals because they do not receive a work visa.The outside world asked, but the fact is probably a political censors performed by the government's concerns about the rebellion and subversion of music.In the past few years, the SAR government has clearly tightened the sympathy of the umbrella movement, and even supported the entry applications of specific political parties, social movements, media and scholars of Tibetan independence and Taiwan independence.Some people can hold lectures in Hong Kong through the political inspection of Beijing and walk around the three places on both sides of the strait; some people are still rudely eliminated.rule.Whether it can enter Hong Kong has become another barometer of cross -strait relations, and it is also a strategic means of Beijing's use of Hong Kong to pressure Taiwan.What is worrying is that people who lack influence and cannot represent mainstream public opinion in Taiwan have attracted much attention. The impact is inevitable that they are partial and misjudgment.
Unilaterally look forward to the adjustment of the Cai Yingwen government on cross -strait relations, which may be unrealistic (the Taiwan government's attitude towards cross -strait relations is not yielding under pressure, nor does it go back to confrontation).Although the possibility of good -faith in Taipei does not seem to be high. At this time, the adjustment of Hong Kong and Taiwan relations seems to be not the key task of the DPP government.Hu Qingzhang, director of the Guanghua News Center in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, has been resigned because of consideration and family factors for consideration. According to the practice, it will be related to another cultural industry.If Beijing and the Hong Kong Government issued a visa from Lu Changshui and others as soon as possible, I believe it will be a further positive signal that helps the development of transactional relationship between the two places.
