Letters | Hong Kong protesters who can’t accept ‘one country’ should seek exit route
- There are many voices in society, sometimes contradictory, and not all voices can be heard
- So when one’s voice fails, exiting – instead of resorting to violence – may be the next logical step
There are many voices, sometimes contradictory, and thus not all voices can be acted on; and when one’s voice fails, exiting – instead of resorting to violence – may be the next logical step.
There are two main contradictory voices: one uses “two systems” to reject “one country”; the other brooks no compromises on political order and sovereignty. There seems to be no end to this contradiction.
The truth of the matter is that the force of “one country” is insurmountable. Those emotionally attached to Hong Kong but fundamentally opposed to “one country”, instead of constantly protesting, may consider leaving.
Those who choose to stay should be happier too, in a less-crowded and more affordable city. Hong Kong could once again return to the normalcy of an orderly and pluralistic society.
