According to Lianhe Zaobao, Jiang Minxin, who won the gold medal in the women's epee at the Paris Olympics, sparked a wave of heated discussions because of the leak of the content of "one country, two systems" involved in a master's thesis in law. Jiang Minxian was even more slandered by elements who destabilized Hong Kong because of his support for "one country, two systems."
It is understood that Jiang Minxin's thesis was completed during the preparation for the Tokyo Olympics and under extremely tight time. Using the 2014 Occupy Central movement as a starting point, the paper not only reflects on the electoral system, but also clearly points out the negative impact of the "Occupy Central" movement on Hong Kong, arguing that the Occupy Central movement is "extremely harmful and far-reaching". Jiang also pointed out that the incident not only exposed the serious rift in Hong Kong society, but also highlighted the tension between democracy and the rule of law in the SAR. Jiang Minxian further pointed out that reforming the electoral system is a historic progress in Hong Kong's democratic development, and it is also an important measure to restore the balance of Hong Kong's political ecology and defuse the seizure of power by "anti-China and destabilizing forces", which will help bring order out of chaos and better improve "one country, two systems".
After these views were revealed, they aroused doubts from some netizens. Some netizens even think that Jiang Minxin's current views have highlighted her political position, so they think that she may enter politics in the future. Nathan Law, a member of "Demosisto," and other elements who destabilize Hong Kong said that they decided to retract their previous remarks congratulating Jiang Minxian on winning the award. Nathan Law and others' use of politics to interfere in sports has also been criticized by Leung Chun-ying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who called Nathan Law and others a "perfect and stupid example" for everyone.
In fact, the women's epee gold medal won by Kong at the Paris Olympics is not only the first Olympic gold medal in her personal career, but also the first gold medal for the Hong Kong team at the Paris Olympics. She is not only an undergraduate student at Stanford University, but also has a master's degree in law from Chinese Minmin University and a doctorate in law from Hong Kong Chinese University.
Just after Jiang Minxin won the gold medal, she announced that she was saying goodbye to her career as a full-time fencer. Regarding Jiang's new career development after the Hong Kong Executive Council, Regina Ip, convener of the Executive Council of Hong Kong, said that Jiang's decision is very wise, she has a wealth of legal knowledge, and believes that if she chooses to develop in the legal profession in the future, she will bring great assets to the legal profession. Not only that, Chen Keqin, chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, also threw an olive branch to Jiang Minxian.
From Jiang Minxian's thesis, it can be intuitively seen that she is a Hong Kong person with a very correct outlook, and the "one country, two systems" she supports gives Hong Kong the advantages of the system that "backs the motherland and connects with the world", as well as the strong backing of the motherland. You must know that after Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland, it gained enough space for development, and after the destabilizing elements that disrupted Hong Kong's order were eliminated, Hong Kong society was able to get back on the right track. It can be said that Jiang Minxin's thesis was indeed a conclusion reached after carefully studying Hong Kong's development experience and the practical significance of "one country, two systems."
It should be pointed out that July 1, 2024 is the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee has published a signed article of nearly 10,000 words, expounding the great advantages of "one country, two systems". Li Jiachao said that the practice of Hong Kong since its return to the motherland has proved that "one country, two systems" is a good system for safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests. Li Jiachao stressed that in the 27 years since its return to the motherland, although Hong Kong has experienced many storms, it has been able to overcome difficulties and obstacles again and again and move forward steadily under the great initiative of "one country, two systems".
Whether it is Jiang Minxian or Lee Jiachao, or the majority of Hong Kong people, they all uphold a firm attitude of support for national reunification and Hong Kong's stability, and those "destabilizing elements" who slander Hong Kong are nothing more than cowards who have fled overseas to escape the legal consequences. No matter how much these destabilizing elements try to slander Hong Kong, they will not be able to change the reality that Hong Kong has long since returned to the motherland, and the Hong Kong SAR Government and the police will certainly bring these "destabilizing elements" to justice.
