The denial of the Hong Kong chief executive democratic
election from the Chinese Communist Party Standing
Committee triggered strong protests in Hong Kong and
attracted global attention and solidarity.
In addition to the nongovernment organizations' support from
US, Canada and Taiwan.
September 2, US and Taiwan governments also voiced to
support real universal suffrage in Hong Kong.
The Chinese authorities ignored the Hong Kong people's wish
and made a new decision on Hong Kong political reform
among the standing committee members on the 31st August.
They denied citizen nomination and required that the
Chief Executive candidate must be supported by a majority
of the nomination committee to run a Chief Executive election.
It triggered strong indignation in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Central Occupy organization announced to enter
a disobedience era from that evening on for Hong Kong people.
They will launch wave after wave of protests including strikes,
marches and so on.
The Hong Kong Federation expected 8000 students will
participate in the strike in September.
54 teachers in Hong Kong and Macau academy also jointly
issued an open letter to express their extreme disappointment
and indignation of the decision of the Chief Executive election
decided by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Congress.
Meanwhile, many nongovernment and government organizations
publicly support Hong Kong people's protests against the
forcing-out the CCPs real universal suffrage proposal.
September 2, the State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki:
the United States supports universal suffrage in Hong Kong in
accordance with the Basic Law and the aspirations of
the Hong Kong people.
The same day, Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou also publicly
announced to support Hong Kong people's democracy pursuit.
Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Tsai Ing-wen
posted in facebook in solidarity with the
Hong Kong Central Occupy fight.
In addition, nearly 20 Taiwan non-governmental organizations
also jointly signed a statement to support Hong Kong.
Taiwan New School For Democracy chairman Wang Dan said
it's rogue practice for Beijing authorities to renege on the
promise of universal suffrage in Hong Kong.
He believes Hong Kong and Taiwan are interdependent.
He calls on everyone in Taiwan to support Hong Kong together.
Wang Dan: Now we see two political powers: one is
an anti-democratic movement with the core of CCP;
The other is a democratic movement from cross – strait four places.
The two forces collided in Hong Kong making
Hong Kong an outpost.
Taiwan will be in crisis if Hong Kong falls.
September 1, over ten overseas pro-democracy organizations
in US and Canada also issued an open letter.
The open letter requested the US and Canadian Governments
to urge Beijing to keep the promise of one country two systems
and respect the Hong Kong constitutional and Basic Law.
August 31, International human rights organization Civil Force
also issued a statement in Washington in support of solidarity
with Hong Kong Central Occupy and to condemn the Chinese
authorities' treachery again.
Civil Force President Yang Jianli: We will launch a series of
activities according to Hong Kong's political development.
We prepare to mobilize the international community and the
mainland citizens to join in the solidarity of
Hong Kong democrats.
Mainland activist poet Wang Zang said he and his friends all
support the Hong Kong's Central Occupy to fight for
democracy and law.
He believes that this is related to the mainland political
atmosphere, supporting Hong Kong is also in the fight for our
own human rights.
Wang Zang: I never underestimate the CCP's evil, and they
might suppress using the same way in the June 4th massacre.
Its evil nature shows that they decided to eat up Hong Kong,
and Taiwan also in the future.
So I believe all people from Hong Kong, Taiwan, as well as
mainland should jointly act against the same adversary.
No matter if there is hope or not, we should continue to fight.
September 2, one Hong Kong peaceful Central Occupy
sponsor Daiyao Ting reiterated that Hong Kong people will
never resign, give up or back off on the road to democracy.
They will use Central Occupy to act against the
People's Congress decision of political reform, to wake up
the people and to continue on the civil disobedience spirit.
