一国二制度の失敗：中国の約束した香港の自治は、今や虚ろに響く

Two-systems failure
China’s promise of autonomy for Hong Kong is ringing hollow
Jan 16th 2016 | From the print edition
The implications would be grim. Under the Joint Declaration of 1984 with Britain over Hong Kong’s future, China promised that “one country, two systems” would apply after China resumed sovereignty over the territory: ie, that Hong Kong would enjoy autonomy in all but its defence and foreign relations. Hong Kong’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law, guarantees among other things freedom of speech and judicial independence. The suggestion that Hong Kong’s people, should they displease the sovereign master, might simply be kidnapped makes a nonsense of this.
Notes from the underground
Pessimists also point out that China has wielded enormous influence in Hong Kong since long before 1997. Bizarrely, though, the Communist Party is even now an underground organisation there. The secrecy may encourage subterfuge, rumour-mongering and even lawlessness. Some officials may well sanction illegal snatch-squads, to show that Hong Kong’s autonomy does not extend to anti-party activity. That this also proves the emptiness of the “one country, two systems” promise would be a small price to pay. Presumably having nothing useful to say on the issue, Mr Leung ignored it in his speech. A legislator from the pro-democracy camp, Lee Cheuk-yan, was expelled from the chamber for interrupting him to demand information about the Lee Bo case. Later he accused the chief executive of trying “to turnbHong Kong into the mainland”. Nearly two decades after its reversion to China, few in Hong Kong want that.
＊中国は法や契約や約束を信用しない。そういうものは弱者のたよりにするもので、ハードパワーのリアリテイではないので。中国はまた普遍性や合理性も信用しない。中国（やソビエト、ロシア）のする約束（という嘘）を信用するのは歴史に学ばない誤った態度；
