Original title: Hong Kong media: Deng Bingqiang criticized the Taiwan authorities for political manipulation, hoping to allow Chen Tongjia to surrender to Taiwan
[环球网报道]According to Hong Kong’s “Sing Tao” report, the mother of Pan Xiaoying, the deceased in Taiwan’s homicide, invited Chen Tongjia, the suspect in the case, to confront the SAR government headquarters this morning (20th). At the same time, he was invited by the Secretary of Security Deng Bingqiang and others, and Deng Bingqiang. In an interview with Hong Kong media, he said he had replied to Pan Xiaoying’s mother, but did not disclose whether he would accept the appointment. Deng Bingqiang criticized Taiwan’s political manipulation and hoped that the Taiwan authorities would have mercy on Pan Xiaoying’s mother and allow Chen Tongjia to surrender to Taiwan.
Chen Tongjia, a suspect in the Taiwan homicide case that caused the “revision disturbance”, was suspected of killing his girlfriend Pan Xiaoying during a trip to Taiwan in 2018. In April 2019, he pleaded guilty to four counts of money laundering in Hong Kong and was sentenced and was released in October of the same year. According to reports, after serving his sentence, Chen Tongjia lived in a safe house provided by the police until June this year and has not gone to Taiwan for two years.
Deng Bingqiang said that Pan Xiaoying’s mother’s situation is worthy of sympathy. He reiterated that Chen Tongjia was willing to surrender to Taiwan, and Guan Haoming, Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Anglican Church, who assisted Chen Tongjia, also applied for an entry permit for him earlier, but Taiwan did not allow Chen Tongjia to enter.
Deng Bingqiang said that Taiwan’s request for “mutual judicial assistance” is a political maneuver. He hoped that Taiwan would “pity Mama Pan” and let Chen Tongjia go to the local area to take his own responsibility. Deng Bingqiang said that the handling of this case is simple and does not require “extraterritorial legal rights.” In other ways, the Hong Kong police are willing to do their best to meet the needs of the Taiwan authorities. Deng Bingqiang said that Chen Tongjia is already a “free man,” and it is his freedom to go to a country that has so-called “diplomatic relations” with the Taiwan authorities to request extradition.
Mentioned that Pan Xiaoying’s mother was worried that she would be killed by Chen Tongjia. Deng Bingqiang said that anyone who needs can contact the police. The Security Bureau will arrange for risk assessment. If Pan Xiaoying’s mother really needs police protection, she can make a request at the police station.
As for whether to meet with Pan Xiaoying’s mother at 11 o’clock this morning, Deng Bingqiang only said that he had written back to the other party and did not disclose the decision.
According to previous reports by Hong Kong media, in October last year, Chen Tongjia reiterated that his idea of surrendering to Taiwan has not changed. The DPP authorities asked him to submit an application to the Taipei office in Hong Kong. When the outside world thought that this would open another window for Chen Tongjia’s surrender, his application for admission to Taiwan was exposed and rejected.
On the evening of October 14 last year, the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan requested the Hong Kong government to respond to Taiwan’s request for “mutual legal assistance”, claiming that the two governments must negotiate relevant matters before Chen Tongjia went to Taiwan. The Hong Kong Security Bureau responded on October 15 last year that the Taiwan authorities continued to make irresponsible remarks even knowing that there is no law in Hong Kong that allows Hong Kong and Taiwan to conduct judicial assistance and surrender fugitives. The SAR government expressed strong dissatisfaction and hoped that Taiwan Fang showed sincerity and did not make political considerations. The Hong Kong government has stated that for those who express their willingness to surrender and surrender, the DPP authorities continue to use different excuses to create obstacles to Taiwan. They insist on conflating judicial assistance and surrender to Taiwan. This is obviously a political operation and highlights the fundamentals of Taiwan. Without sincerity, let the rule of law and justice be manifested.
