The global “Summit of Democracy” (Summit of Democracy) held by the United States was held on December 9th and 10th. Luo Guancong said that he will talk about the Chinese Communist Party’s threat to the international community and the democratic struggle in Hong Kong, and at the end he will speak in Cantonese to Hong Kong people.
Luo Guancong firstly explained to the world from his own experience that Hong Kong has rapidly fallen from the freest city to an “autocratic police city.” He said that he was once the youngest elected member of Hong Kong, and now he has become a wanted exile. Not only did he have to cut off contact with his family to keep him safe, but he also saw that his former comrade Huang Zhifeng and others were detained and faced life-long prison charges. .
He said that democratic regression is not an argument, but a painful story. He called on the international community to act immediately to combat the authoritarianism of the Chinese Communist Party.
Luo Guancong pointed out that the CCP’s totalitarian claws have extended from the long-term suppression of Tibetans, the imprisoning of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and the suppression of democratic Hong Kong people, to the threat of force against Taiwanese. The scope of influence has expanded to all levels of the world, from financial institutions to the entertainment industry.
Luo Guancong said: It is time to ensure that democratic politics can produce real results, strengthen multilateral ties between countries with the same values, and reform international organizations so that they can fulfill their missions meaningfully.
Finally, Luo Guancong said in Cantonese, “We do not insist on seeing hope, but because we see hope because of persistence, Hong Kong people come on!”
There are only two “inter-meeting speeches” during the summit
In addition to the discussion sessions where many national leaders participated, there were only two “Inter-session Remarks” during the summit, which were delivered by Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaidó and Luo Guancong.
In this regard, Luo Guancong said, “This is enough to prove that the international community attaches great importance to the voice of Hong Kong, and also regards the example of Hong Kong’s sinking as a wake-up call to the free world.”
The Secretary for Security of Hong Kong, Deng Pingqiang, said recently that he was “extremely angry” at Luo Guancong’s invitation to speak, accusing him of “attempting to publish remarks that vilified the (Beijing) Central and (Hong Kong) SAR government”, and again angrily criticized him on the 8th. “Betrayal of the country” is a “modern traitor”.
But Luo Guancong responded, “I will not succumb to this kind of intimidation (I will not succumb to this kind of intimidation)”.
Luo Guancong responded on social networking sites on the 8th. It is not the first time that he has been scolded as “traitor” and “traitor”. Situ Hua and Martin Lee have also encountered such infamy, “Many of those who are still in prison and about to be released are also the same. .”
He said, “If dictatorship is’democracy with Chinese characteristics’, closure is’freedom with Chinese characteristics’, and the rule of man is’rule of law with Chinese characteristics’, then’traitors with Chinese characteristics’ should be the ones who truly contribute to Hong Kong.”
Luo Guancong said that as a democratic protester in Hong Kong, he is honored to be invited this time and is also grateful to have a larger platform to tell the stories of Hong Kong people, so that global leaders can directly understand the voices of Hong Kong protesters. He said frankly that this road may be far away and endless, but he believes that “Going forward with determination will bring a day to life from desperation.”
