杨荣文形容香港如孙悟空 逃不出佛祖手掌心

我国前外交部长杨荣文,昨日出席华侨中学“百年华诞讲座系列”。在演讲后回应一名中国学生对有关香港问题的提问,以《西游记》里的孙悟空形容香港,指孙悟空法力再高强,也翻不出中国这个如来佛的手掌心。 他认为一些港民相信从中国取得自主权的想法并不现实,且必然导向悲剧。 根据香港基本法,自回归以来维持一国两制50年不变框架,杨荣文则认为,接下来应拒绝任何暴力或违法行为,专注探讨2047年之后香港前途问题,以此凝聚共识,解决社会分化问题。 “港人可以不喜欢特首林郑月娥,但这不能改变她是特首的事实。你需要她来解决各种住房、医疗与教育问题。你可以不喜欢她,但必须与她合作,因为中央政府不会允许她辞职。如果真接受辞呈,香港也会变得不可治理。” 上述中国学生是询问杨荣文,何以港人存有抗争精神,但他们的举措无法解决问题。 杨荣文在回应中也指出,香港过去是英殖民地,教育体制中也没鼓励学生心向大陆中国,他说有香港朋友告诉他,当地许多小学和高中,大部分老师都是反中的,要赢得大学选举,立场上也必须反中,这样的思维已根深蒂固。 他指现今香港处在艰难时期,家庭、亲友和党派分裂,但如果能专注在2047年后的发展,就能找到共识。
