【召集港人聯署!促請歐洲領袖反對《港版國安法》:https://bit.ly/noevillaw 】
自中共一意孤行硬推《港版國安法》以來,擁有27個成員國的歐盟已發聲明批評國安法嚴重損害一國兩制,同時間歐洲亦有七個國家(英國、法國、德國、瑞典、挪威、瑞士、芬蘭)分別表達對於北京硬推惡法的疑慮,包括質疑立法違反《中英聯合聲明》和法治原則,甚至有國家政府已表明會在歐盟推動對中制裁。
為著爭取國際關注,民間外交網絡發言人張崑陽 Sunny Cheung、前立法會議員羅冠聰 Nathan Law和我早前亦發起聯署,促請歐洲各國領袖反對惡法。然而,至今仍有15個國家政府(西班牙、意大利、比利時、捷克、丹麥、冰島、愛沙尼亞、希臘、愛爾蘭、立陶宛、盧森堡、荷蘭、波蘭、斯洛文尼亞、斯洛伐克)尚未作任何表態,三人今天召開記者會,希望鼓勵更多港人集氣聯署。
要知道,歐盟乃中國最大貿易夥伴,亦是香港第三大外來投資地,一旦通過惡法,將影響歐洲各國在港投資及營商利益;其他非歐盟國家在港利益亦將會受損。國安法「外部勢力」定義語焉不詳,過去執法往往政治掛帥,加上中國近年力行「戰狼式外交」,外國人往往成為「人質外交」的犠牲品。因此,惡法一旦通過,將影響各國在港營商利益。
如今香港自治危在旦夕,當務之急必然是鼓動國際盟友支持,而當中絕不只限於爭取個別國家關注,因此是次聯署實在非常關鍵。我們希望集結至少十萬港人的聲勢,懇請英國、瑞士,以及作為歐盟成員國的德國、法國、意大利等,與港人站在同一陣線,促請北京撤回惡法,並加快《馬格尼茨基法案》立法工作,並在與中國貿易協定中加入保障香港人權的條文。

Petition Calling on European Leaders Against National Security Law for Hong Kong
The Beijing government, with utter disregard of the opposition from the international community and Hong Kong people, seeks to promulgate a controversial and detrimental National Security Bill.
The Chinese Communist Party have been clamping down on human rights activists, lawyers, reporters, civilians as well as foreigners in the name of "National Security". Such is the aggravating human rights condition in China. Under the banner of subversion of the state, China oppressed any investigation on the "Toufu-drag" construction works or poisonous milk-powder. Once the "National Security Bill" (the Bill) had been written into the law, it would inevitably become a tool for oppression and censorship against those who seek the truth and tell the truth.
The severity of the Bill is highlighted by the establishment of an enforcement agency. This will shake up the dynamics of Hong Kong in every possible aspect. The enforcement agency will render the Hong Kong government a mere figurehead and replaces the Hong Kong Police Force as the major ruling authority. It is no surprise that there will be renditions to China for trial and detention. This irrevocably jeopardizes the promises to rule of law, human rights, and an independent judiciary as laid down in the Sino-British Joint Declaration. Hong Kong can no longer maintain its status as an open and liberal international metropolis.
The EU, being China's most significant trading partner and having made the third most investments in Hong Kong, will surely be affected in terms of its investment interests and management conditions; other European countries that have a stake in Hong Kong will also be undermined. The vagueness in what counts as foreign intervention leaves room for an aggressive interpretation by the Chinese government, who for the record utilizes these laws in threatening other countries. Foreigners in Hong Kong may be treated as hostages in accordance with China's diplomatic policies. The risks for foreign investors are self-explanatory.
With the Bill closing in, liberty and autonomy enjoyed by Hong Kong shall, without doubt, face utter compromise. We urge the governments of the UK, members States of the EU, namely Germany, France, and Italy, etc. as well as other non-EU European states, such Switzerland, to stand with freedom and democracy and to stand with Hong Kong in pressuring the Beijing government to retrieve its Bill. It is of the essence for friends of Hong Kong to take the action in the incorporation of the Magnitsky Act into the municipal law. We also urge countries dealing with China to insert clauses that protect Hong Kong's human rights into trade agreements.

兩千三百萬人在獨木舟上
——為什麼歐洲應該關切台灣的未來
反對黨公布2020總統候選人名單的那一天,我在台北和知識圈的朋友們午餐。那悲觀的,用問句來表達自己的悲觀,譬如,「你覺得台灣還有多少年?」那樂觀的,用黑色幽默來表達樂觀,譬如,「感謝老天。香港讓他們太忙了,沒時間管台灣。」
跟德國一樣,台灣對中國大陸和香港的貿易順差,在2018年是831億美元。百分之四十一的對外貿易針對中國,中國大陸市場對台灣的重要不言而喻。然而,隨著近年來台灣海峽兩岸的關係緊張,反對黨(國民黨) 憂慮市場的優勢無法持續,而執政黨(民進黨) 則選擇強化選民對北京的不信任來抵制中國的影響力。執政黨最近提出的國安新法可能將任何被認定為為中國宣傳者入罪。
和歐洲一樣,台灣人對中國的感受也是複雜的。 當中國代表的是活躍的經濟機會時,很多台灣人就容易所謂「親中」,當中國代表的是壓迫和可能的入侵時,很多台灣人就是所謂的「反中」。問題是,中國兩者兼備。後果就是,台灣內部的分歧遠遠超過了僅只是政治和經濟的層面。
如果你知道台灣是如何一路走來的,你會覺得它今天變成一個民主社會真是一個不得了的成就。沒有革命,一黨獨裁四十年的國民黨,不管你說它是自願還是被迫,放下了政權,分享權力。沒有流血,昔日牢裡的政治犯變成今日的立法者和政治領袖。1987年解嚴以後,政權的交替基本上公平而有序地進行了三十年。
台灣安靜地進行了三十年的民主,時間幾乎和它的國際孤立一樣長。美國不承認台灣的國家地位,但是,就如同當年對於德國,美國也扮演了安全守護者的角色。令人不安的是,在美國宣布要把軍售台灣常態化的同時,中國也宣布,它在台灣海峽及其領空,要把軍艦和戰機的演習常態化。
所以台灣民主的威脅其實是雙重的。比較明顯的是中國的威脅,這個威脅,往往超出台灣本身的控制能力。一個不那麼明顯的威脅,卻是內部自製的。台灣的政治人物和政黨熱切拿這個威脅做為政治資本,刺激集體恐懼來強化部落式的愛國主義。這種操作的成功,對台灣的民主制度和機構本身,是個真實的危險。
國際上那些純粹為了攻擊中國而故意把台灣捧在手心讚美的人,其實讓我坐立不安。一代又一代的台灣人為民主付出了代價,很大的代價,而得到今天的成果。這個成果,太珍貴了,不可以變成別人或別國為了自己的利益而拿來玩弄的籌碼或棋子。
德國的歷史是特殊的。德國的人民親身目睹了,如果不戒慎恐懼地去維護,一個開放合理的社會制度是如何容易地瓦解,一夜之間可以被獨裁取代。經歷了二戰,又擺脫了共產黨的歷史爭取到自由,德國可能比很多其他國家更容易理解台灣人的困境和追求。道德勇氣的來源往往是歷史的痛苦。身為歐盟的重要成員,德國有責任為世界的和平做出最大的努力,發揮最大的影響力。
但是,歐洲憑什麼一定要關心台灣呢?
首先,如果沒有台灣模式,全世界大概就都得接受一種說法,就是,儒家文化和民主制度是無法相容的,而所謂「中國模式」就是唯一邏輯、不可避免的現代中國。台灣的存在證明了一件事:未必如此。
第二,台灣本身的努力值得世界的尊敬。沒錯,如果中國是一艘航空母艦,那麼台灣只不過是一葉孤零零的獨木舟。可是在這個獨木舟上有兩千三百萬人正在追求一種有自由、有尊嚴的生活方式。如果台灣是歐盟的一個成員,就人口論,台灣就是二十八個成員國(英國脫歐後二十七國)中第七大國,比波蘭稍小,但比荷蘭和比利時大。以經濟購買力來看,台灣更是名列全球第二十二。所以,歐洲可以想像剝奪波蘭人或者荷蘭人對生活方式和政治體制的選擇權利嗎?
23 Million People on a Canoe
—Why Europe should care about Taiwan’s future
Lung Yingtai
On the day when the opposition party announced its presidential candidate for the 2020 election, I was sitting at a lunch table in Taipei listening to my intellectual friends uttering their concerns about the future of Taiwan. The pessimists phrased their pessimism in the form of questions such as “How many years do you think Taiwan has left?” The optimists expressed their optimism with dark humour, “Thank God they will be too busy with Hong Kong and the US for a while.”
Like Germany, Taiwan operates a trade surplus with mainland China and Hong Kong, amounting to $83.1 billion in 2018. With 41% of Taiwan’s exports going to China, Taipei’s economy depends on trade with the mainland. However, given the increasing tension across the Taiwan Strait, the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) in particular has been worrying whether Taiwan will be able to sustain these figures. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party, on the other hand, is capitalizing on voters’ intense distrust of Beijing, stepping up measures to “contain” China’s influence. Taipei recently drafted a national security law that would make it a punishable offense to spread “political propaganda” for China.
As in Europe, Taiwanese feel highly ambivalent about mainland China: When China signifies economic opportunities, most Taiwanese are 23 Million People on a Canoe Why Europe should care about Taiwan’s future “pro-China”; when China represents oppression and potential invasion, most Taiwanese are “anti-China”. The problem is that China resembles both. The result is a deep division among Taiwanese extending far beyond the political and economic spheres.
Given the circumstances under which Taiwan emerged and evolved, its evolution into an authentic democracy represents an extraordinary achievement. It was without a revolution that the KMT, which had ruled Taiwan for more than 40 years, put an end to martial law and, whether convinced or compelled to act, opened the country’s political system to sharing power. Without bloodshed, dissidents who had once sat in jails became legislators and political leaders. Since the lifting of martial law 1987, power has changed hands fairly and orderly, following the results of each election.
Taiwan has been a quiet democracy for more than thirty years, nearly as long as the four decades during which it has been isolated by the international community. The US does not formally recognize Taiwan but, as with Germany, acts as the country’s security guarantor. While Washington has indicated that arms sales to Taiwan will become more of a routine, China has devised a routine of its own by holding long-range combat drills and ordering its fighter jets to cross the maritime line.
However, the threat to Taiwanese democracy is twofold. The obvious one comes from China, and to a large extent lies beyond Taipei’s control. The less obvious threat is home-made, as the looming China threat tempts domestic politicians to mobilize the population’s collective fear to foment a tribal nationalism. Their success would pose a real danger to Taiwan’s democratic institutions.
Those who applaud Taiwanese democracy for the sole purpose of criticizing China make me nervous. Generations of Taiwanese fought and ultimately achieved a democracy – it is simply too precious for other people’s agendas, internal or external.
Germany has a unique history: its people have experienced first-hand how easily democratic institutions may fall apart when not meticulously guarded. Having received democracy as a gift following World War II and struggled to regain their freedom from Communist rule, Germans are in a unique position to understand both the predicament as well as the aspirations of the Taiwanese. Moral courage often comes from past sufferings. As a leading EU member state, Germany has a responsibility to maximize its own efforts as well as to influence others’ efforts for world peace.
But why should the world care about the future of Taiwan? First of all, save the Taiwan model, the world might have to accept the claim that democracy and Confucianism are incompatible, and that a communist China presents the only logical and inevitable path to modernity. Secondly, Taiwan deserves respect on its own merits. True, if China were an aircraft carrier, Taiwan would be a lone canoe. But standing on this canoe are 23 million people aspiring for a life with liberty and dignity. If it were an EU member, Taiwan would be the 7th largest of the Union’s 28 member-states (27 after Brexit), smaller than Poland but larger than the Netherlands or Belgium, with a developed economy ranking 22nd in the world by purchasing power parity. Do we really want to return to a world in which it is imaginable that countries such as Poland or the Netherlands should be deprived of their autonomy to determine their own way of life and political system?

liberty freedom分別 在 怪咖電影院 Facebook 的最佳貼文
最近有分別有兩位瑜伽老師決定離開工作十數年的香港,說她們是外籍人士嘛,她們其實比很多人更愛香港。
第一位老師在最後一節課上說:「我的風格跟大部分老師不一樣,總是一直說一直說,要這樣做、不要這樣做,然而有些學生跟了我十年以後,發現即使是自己在家做瑜伽,或者是跟其他比較靜的老師的時候,腦裡總會聽到我的聲音,引導著他們最正確的動作。
因為我們學懂了,才可以自由的選擇適合自己的,這正正是我一直相信的liberty brings freedom。感謝在瑜珈墊上遇到的所有的美好的事,祝香港平安。」
另一位老師,則選擇在最後一節上為大家唸一首Pablo Neruda的詩:
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
她說,香港人好美,希望香港能夠一直美下去。
兩節課我都有哭,許多同學都有哭,大概是因為心裡許多關於自由與愛的疑問,透過她們的分享似乎就能找到答案,而那位聲稱賣命給香港人的婦人,顯然並沒有很愛我們。
我不確定她們的離開是否跟政局有關,但的確一直堅定的我,昨晚腦海裡也不禁閃出離開香港的念頭。
願大家平安,給大家一個留下來的理由。
(抱歉我最近沒有看電影)
