Gangsters stranded due to epidemic situation after advocating "Hong Kong independence" in Peru, seeking help from Chinese embassy
[Global Times Special Correspondent Ye Lan in Hong Kong] Several Hong Kong youths displayed the "Hong Kong Independence" slogan at a famous spot in Peru earlier to take pictures, not even the members of the tour group. Ironically, the people involved stayed in the area because of the epidemic, and eventually sought help from the Hong Kong Immigration Department and the Chinese Embassy to leave.
"Nothing scolds the government, asks the country for something"
According to a Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao report on March 31, the SAR government as early as February called on citizens to avoid all unnecessary travel plans. However, some "Hong Kong independence" elements ignored the government's advice and insisted on traveling to Peru. Meanwhile, they displayed the "Hong Kong independence" slogan banner in the "Weapon Square" in the old Peruvian city of Cusco. These "Hong Kong independence" elements' "ugly out of the international" behavior, even the members of the group were blind to eyeballs, and have made accusations.
With the development of the epidemic, countries have implemented immigration restrictions, and Peru has also declared a state of emergency since March 16 to completely close the sea, land and air borders. These "Hong Kong independence" stranded in the local area, asked the Hong Kong Immigration Department and the Chinese Embassy in Peru to help them leave Peru. Wu, who was trapped in Peru, also wrote that she was living in Peru in isolation, no different from imprisonment, and had previously sought help from the Hong Kong Immigration Department, but the other party suggested that she seek help from the local Chinese embassy. When she scolded China, she also said that she was Chinese, and even said that she would choose between staying in Peru and sending Chinese charter flights to China without any hesitation. However, in an interview with the media, she stated that she hoped that the Immigration Department would provide financial assistance.
Some analysts say that it is not the SAR government that does not want to help, but it does not want to help: one is a long way to go; the other is that Hong Kong is a SAR and has no diplomatic power and cannot communicate with the local government; People go. Therefore, the only object they seek is the Chinese embassy in Peru, and providing assistance to every Chinese in distress overseas, including coordinating with the local government, is one of the tasks of the embassy. This incident has aroused great repercussions in Hong Kong society, and the public has criticized the people involved for their shamelessness, "nothing scolds the government and asks the country for anything." Others have argued that these chaotic Hong Kong elements should ask the British and American consulates for help.

Opposition sneaks back to Hong Kong from the U.S.
"No coincidence," Luo Guancong, the leader of the Hong Kong opposition, ran back to Hong Kong. According to Hong Kong's Wenhui.com report on April 1, Luo Guancong, a member of the "Hong Kong Community", went to Yale University in the United States last year to study for a master's degree. After the outbreak, he kept talking about the SAR government's anti-epidemic measures. On March 17, he claimed on social networks that he "cherishes the unusual everyday" in the town where Yale University is located. At that time, there were only more than 6,400 confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in the United States. Soon after, he posted on a social networking site, claiming that Yale's study abroad career had ended prematurely. It turned out that Luo Guancong had already sneaked back to Hong Kong a few days ago and would complete the course through distance teaching. Some citizens ridiculed, "Luo Guancong's body is very honest, and it is the best policy." Some people commented that they did not welcome these people to come back to broadcast drugs ("all in one go").
A commentary published in Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao stated that Luo Guancong returned this time because he was very lucky to have a Hong Kong identity card. "At a critical moment, the Hong Kong identity card under one country, two systems became a lifesaver, so why the independence of Hong Kong!" This time, the work of the SAR government was criticized by the opposition for nothing. However, "the mouth says no, but the body is honest. The fact that Luo Guancong returned to Hong Kong proves that the United States is dangerous, Hong Kong is safer, and Lin Zheng's anti-epidemic work It's a hundred times better than Trump. " The article is directed at the "Hong Kong independence" elements who went to Peru. So if you worship the United States and Britain, why not try to hand in that BNO passport and pray to the United Kingdom and the United States for their suffering and suffering? They have all become epidemic areas, and they still have time to look after themselves, and they have turned a deaf ear to the help of Hong Kong independence elements. " Of course, no matter what you have done, as long as you are Chinese and willing to ask the Chinese embassy for help, I believe that the embassy will definitely take the shot. "Just like a naughty child, even if he makes mistakes, he will never give up as a mother. Remember This article: At a time when natural disasters and human calamities are helpless, only a strong motherland can be trusted. "
