Editorial: CCP wants HK civil servants to do sperm donation and self-immolation (Apple Daily HK)
Nip Tak-kuen, Secretary for Civil Service Bureau, kept arguing speciously yesterday that Hong Kong civil servants are defacto national civil servants, reproaching critics for demonizing the equation and making it a conspiracy. Yet, in China, it is stipulated by laws that civil servants have to be headed by the party and adore socialism, which is ironically equivalent to the requirements stated in the recruitment of sperm donors in hospitals. Now, Hong Kong has been labelled by the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) as a bridgehead of the external anti-communist and anti-Chinese forces, and US-China battlefield. Following CCP’s logic, despite the fact that Hong Kong civil servants are not paid by China and entitled the same fringe benefits of national civil servants, the 180 thousand civil servants in Hong Kong have to respond to the call from the party for sperm donation and self-immolation whenever necessary.
Beijing requires sperm donors to be patriotic
The CCP has been forcing through the Hong Kong version of national security law, which has triggered the US and UK striking back. Beijing’s mouthpieces proclaimed that “Hong Kong battle” had broken out. In the meantime, Nip Tak-kuen put up a theory that equates Hong Kong civil servants with the national ones, tying the 180 thousand Hong Kong civil servants up on the Chinese war chariot, which has either made them tormented or disconcerted. Leung Chau-ting, General Secretary of Hong Kong Federation of Civil Service Unions, said that Act 99 of the Basic Law specifies that civil servants in Hong Kong are only accountable to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region(HKSAR), but do not pledge loyalty to the People’s Republic of China(PRC). If the current practice has to be amended, Hong Kong civil servants need to be informed in black-and-white the do’s and don’ts for avoiding clash between the existing and new identity. With regard to this, Nip Tak-kuen has just put forward his wishful thinking.
The Civil Servant Law of the PRC clearly specifies that civil servants shall deliver on public duty, be subsumed under the national administrative establishment, and entitled remuneration and fringe benefit paid by the national finance. Neither are Hong Kong civil servants subsumed under the national administrative establishment nor entitled remuneration and fringe benefit paid by the national finance. It is obvious enough that by “promoting” Hong Kong civil servants to national civil servants, Nip Tak-kuen is not intended to benefit offspring, but impose the specifications of Chinese national civil servants on Hong Kong civil servants, making them private property of the CCP.
In the specifications in Act 14 of the Civil Servant Law of the PRC about duties performed by civil servants, the number one rule is to subordinate themselves to CCP’s leadership, followed by pledging loyalty to the nation and safeguarding national security, honor and interests. However, no similar stipulations are seen in Hong Kong Civil Service Regulations. Instead, Hong Kong civil servants are required to perform their duty objectively and impartially with no political bias. That being said, with the Chief Executive of HKSAR having become a puppet of the CCP, if Hong Kong civil servants report to the Chief Executive, they also report to the CCP.
In China, both civil servants and sperm donors are required to stand up for leadership of the party, refrain from making inappropriate comments on party leaders and the socialist system. Recently, the mainland netizens have made an example of overwhelming political correctness an online sensation. The first prerequisite stated clearly in the online recruitment for the human sperm bank of the Third Hospital of Peking University is that donors need to be passionate about the socialist China, stand up for leadership of the CCP and pledge loyalty to undertakings of the party.
Civil servants get ready for self-immolation for the party and nation
It sounds funny that sperm donors need to be of the same calibre of civil servants, but indeed pathetic. In CCP’s political buzzwords, it means “just do whatever the party wants you”. If you don’t, you are treacherous to the party and nation. Is that what Hong Kong civil servants are able to take on?
In an online seminar commemorating the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law, Zhang Xiao-ming, Deputy Director of Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the major issue in Hong Kong was not about the economy, housing and employment unnerving to the grassroots, or upward mobility of youngsters, but politics – the opposition faction and the force behind it aiming at turning Hong Kong to a bridgehead for an anti-Chinese and anti-communist campaign.
Dismissing his concerns about the economy and livelihoods of the people in his reign in Hong Kong, Zhang Xiao-ming has now reiterated that even though Hong Kong independence is not possible, it has to be dealt with. Truly, the rise and spread of the idea of Hong Kong independence was a masterpiece contributed by the collaboration between CY Leung, former Chief Executive of HKSAR, and Zhang Xiao-ming, former Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government. They broke a butterfly on a wheel to exploit a non-exixtent loophole for seizing the overall jurisdiction over Hong Kong. By the same token, the CCP is now exploiting a non-existent loophole of the national security law to force through the Hong Kong version of national security law for seizing the law-making powers, and toppling the judicial independence in Hong Kong. “Promoting” Hong Kong civil servants to national civil servants is again based on a non-existent personnel system, which is just another manifestation of the same trick for tying up the civil servants in Hong Kong battlefield in an attempt to get them ready for donating their bodies, blood and sperm.
