[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] After the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, the authorities finally allowed the first demonstration yesterday (26th) to protest environmental issues such as government reclamation projects.

In this regard, Hong Kong writer and political commentator Feng Suiqian mocked this as "a milestone in the development of China's democracy".

Hong Kong’s Tseung Kwan O Metropolitan Station Owners’ Committee held a rally on the morning of the 26th to oppose the government’s land reclamation development plan. This was Hong Kong’s first parade since the implementation of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law and the lifting of the epidemic blockade. However, the Hong Kong police required the participants to wear numbers on their necks Signs, the organizers pulled up the movement blockade throughout the whole process, and banned masks and other restrictions, which were criticized by the outside world.

Feng Suiqian said on Facebook today that the parade can only be described as "wonderful", "Hong Kong's 'good stories' can be described every day. There is a heated discussion on the Internet. Many people think that this is not a demonstration, but a street parade. To my surprise, even the leader (convener) Chen Zhanjun also agreed that he was humiliated. He said on the radio this morning that the police's restrictions on the parade are both absurd and extremely insulting. He even described wearing a neck tag as "Jews wear armbands." , but expecting the parade to reflect the absurdity of reality can be called "performance art."

Feng Qianqian went on to say: "In fact, apart from today's Hong Kong, where else do protestors wear neck tags? Forgive my ignorance, I don't know. But common sense infers that this kind of thing is more likely to happen in mainland China. Check the CCP's The "Assembly, Procession and Demonstration Law" promulgated after June 4th, those regulations are exactly the same as those of the Tseung Kwan O parade... The difference is that the CCP's "Parade Law" only states that "personnel responsible for maintaining order should wear signs", and does not require all Participants wear neck tags. In other words, the Hong Kong police seem to have a tighter grip on the parade than the CCP’s regulations.”

But although there are laws on the table, the fact is that apart from "anti-Japanese" demonstrations, other types of demonstrations will not be approved in China at all.

Feng Xiqian recalled that when Beijing hosted the Olympic Games in 2008, the CCP specially set up "Olympic demonstration areas" in the local Zizhuyuan Park, Ritan Park and World Park. At that time, applicants were also required to wear "identification badges". The most likely to successfully organize a "neck card demonstration"."

But this was just for show. "That year, the authorities received 77 demonstration applications, 74 of which were automatically withdrawn, and the rest were left unfinished. As a result, none of the three designated "demonstration areas" applied successfully across the country...But for the party It is said that the most important thing is the performance process, and the mouthpiece of the party has already made excuses to boast everywhere, saying that the establishment of the "demonstration zone" has demonstrated the magnanimity and confidence of a great country."

In the end, Feng Suqian mocked: "On the bright side, yesterday's unprecedented neck badge parade in Tseung Kwan O finally fulfilled the unrealized Chinese dream 15 years ago, fully demonstrating the tolerance and confidence of "one country, two systems".

I am deeply regretful that the Hong Kong government did not issue a press release to warmly congratulate the great victory of the neck badge parade.
