【新唐人2014年09月23日訊】爭民主 香港萬名學生罷課
香港大專學生為反對中共人大香港政改方案,而舉行的為期一週的罷課行動,22號正式啟動,據發起罷課行動的「香港專上學生聯合會」公布,當天在香港中大百萬大道參加罷課集會的學生多達13000人。
學生們將當天的集會主題定為「民主港人路、抗殖反篩選」,批評中共疑似「殖民香港」。
據香港媒體報導,學生罷課被視為香港社會抗議中共封殺香港真普選系列活動的序曲,因此罷課行動不僅獲得香港各界人士的支持,也得到廣泛的國際聲援,美國、加拿大以及台灣等地,當天都有人舉行活動,聲援香港學生罷課。
罷課發起組織「香港學聯」,在當天的集會現場還發表了一封致香港現任特首梁振英的公開信,要求他到添馬公園與學生及市民公開對話,聆聽民意,否則行動將升級,由罷課擴展至各種不合作運動。「學聯」代表說,「這是13,000名學生向梁振英下的戰書!」
就在香港20多所大學學生罷課,抗議北京封殺香港全面普選特首的同一天,中共黨魁習近平則在北京會見了一個規模龐大的香港工商界代表團。
這個代表團以香港前特首董建華為團長,成員包括長實集團主席李嘉誠、恆地主席李兆基等香港工商界巨頭。
據《香港電臺》報導,雖然習近平在雙方會晤前發表的公開談話中表示,中共在香港的基本方針政策未變,也不會變,但是,在隨後的閉門會談中,他卻向香港商人說,中共「人大常委會」對香港政改的決定,必須得到尊重和嚴格遵守。香港特首的人選也必須是中共中央信任的、「愛國愛港」的人士。
報導說,習近平還表示他支持香港政府依法處置破壞秩序的違法活動。
有分析人士評論,在香港泛民主派即將發動「佔中」的前夕,北京高規格接待香港工商代表團,是要「佔中」之前,搞定商界領袖,而北京對「佔中」示威者的強硬態度,可能會導致香港政治局勢進一步惡化。
五分之一香港居民考慮移民海外
最近幾個月來,因為中共關於特首普選方案造成的香港社會撕裂,也讓港人對對未來感到擔心。
根據香港中文大學9月10號至17號所做的最新調查顯示,由於對政治前景感到悲觀,超過五分之一的香港人,正在考慮移民。
這是在1989年中共武力鎮壓「六四」天安門民主運動後,香港又出現的又一次大規模向海外移民潮。

Hong Kong: Tens of Thousands of Students Strike For
Democracy
A week-long Hong Kong University student strike against
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) People’s Congress
political reform proposal formally began on Sept. 22.
According to the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS)
who launched the strike, more than 13,000 students
concentrated on Mega Millions Avenue at the Chinese
University of Hong Kong.
The students used the rally theme of Hong Kong democratic
road is anti-colonization and anti-filtering to criticize
the suspected CCP’s colonization in Hong Kong.
According to a Hong Kong media report, the student strike
is the beginning of a series of civil disobedience actions
by Hong Kong against the CCP’s censorship
of real universal suffrage.
The student strike not only wins support from Hong Kong,
but international support.
There has been extensive international solidarity events held
in the U.S., Canada, Taiwan and other countries.
Strike sponsor Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS)
issued a public letter to current Chief Executive
Leung Chun-ying.
They request him to have an open dialogue with students
and the people at Tamar park and listen to public opinion.
Otherwise, the action will be upgraded from strike
to a variety of civil disobedience actions.
The HKFS representative said, “This is a challenge
to Leung Chun-ying on behalf of 13,000 students!"
Xi Jinping Supports Political Reform Proposal in Meeting
With Hong Kong Businessman
Communist Party leader Xi Jinping met with a large-scale
Hong Kong business delegation in Beijing on the same day
students from 20 Hong Kong universities strike against
the universal suffrage censorship.
The delegation is led by former Hong Kong Chief Executive
Tung Chee-hwa, including representatives of Hong Kong
commerce such as Li Ka-shing and Henderson Land
chairman Lee Shau Kee.
According to a Radio Television Hong Kong report, although
in public meeting Xi Jinping said the CCP’s basic policy
in Hong Kong won’t change he said the CCP Standing
Committee’s political reform has to be respected and strictly
followed in a subsequent closed-door talk.
Hong Kong’s Chief Executive candidate must be trusted
by the CCP and must love both Hong Kong and China.
The report says Xi also said he supports the Hong Kong
government prosecution of illegal activities.
Some analysts commented that prior to the Occupy Central
movement from pro-democrats in Hong Kong, Beijing
authorities received a high level Hong Kong business
delegation to settle with business leaders.
Beijing’s tough attitude to Occupy Central may
intensify Hong Kong’s political situation.
One Fifth Hong Kong Residents are Considering Emigration
In recent months, Hong Kongers are torn and increasingly
more worried about the future due to the Chief Executive’s
universal suffrage.
According to the latest survey from September 10 to 17
from Chinese University of Hong Kong, more than one fifth
of Hong Kongers are considering emigration because
of the pessimistic political future.
This is another large-scale emigration in Hong Kong since
the CCP’s forceful suppression on the 1989
Tiananmen Square democracy movement.
