1967 Leftist Riot / 六七暴動

The controversy of Hong Kong’s independence movement mirrors the power dynamics within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The “whites” or espionage personnel have been infiltrating Hong Kong for years. They should well be aware that no centralised education authority in Hong Kong can dictate to all educators that discussion on the issue of Hong Kong’s independence be prohibited. What the “whites” can do, at best, is to infiltrate and influence (if not through bribery) individuals and institutions under various religious, charitable authorities or corporate bodies.

香港獨立的糾紛像一面鏡子,折射出中共黨內鬥爭的形勢。匪諜系或白區黨在香港潛伏多年,清楚香港的教育制度不是鐵板一塊,不存在某個香港教委,可以命令所有學校的教師不能討論港獨問題。他們只能對不同教會和法人團體組織的不同學校,分別展開因人而異的滲透和收買。

The “reds”, however, are more used to exerting centralised control over civil servants and educators as regards organisation and finance. All public servants are required to comply with CCP’s policies. Such is CCP’s conventional practice in their own jurisdiction that non-compliance is severely punished: teachers are not paid and schools not assigned work. Applying this policy in Hong Kong indicates that the “reds” have prevailed, at least seasonally, over the “whites” in dominating CCP’s Hong Kong policy.

相反,紅區黨習慣於地方公務員和教師在組織和財政上不分家。所有公務員和教師配合黨中央政策,不肯服從的教師不給發工資,不肯服從的學校不給分配工作,都是中共在轄區內經常採取的政策。這樣的政策搬到香港,說明紅區黨已經取得了打擊白區黨的階段性勝利,奪取了香港政策的主導權。

Hong Kongers will soon witness a scene reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution: those underground CCP loyalists who have long cultivated a veneer of rationality, objectivity and neutrality will, almost all at once, expose their “red” fangs and ferocity. This will squeeze the moderate democrats heavily, whilst presenting a golden opportunity for the pro-independence camp to show their mettle. Similarly, the Cultural Revolution and the 1967 Leftist riots shattered decades of operation by Zhou Enlai and his undercover forces in Hong Kong.

香港人不久就會看到類似文革時期的場面,長期冒充“理性客觀中立”人士的大批匪諜會突然露出紅色的獠牙。香港的溫和民主派會因此遭到沈重打擊,香港民族獨立派卻會得到大顯身手的機會。文革和六七暴動毀了周恩來和香港地下黨的數十年經營,也是出於同樣的原因。
