Overseas network October 18 thTaiwan Province murder suspect Chen Tongjia, who set off the storm of amending laws in Hong Kong, will be released from prison on October 23rd. According to Hong Kong media, Chen Tongjia has agreed to go to Taiwan Province to surrender himself after he is released from prison, but the Taiwan Affairs Council is "afraid to take it" and has been scolded by Taiwanese netizens.
The storm of amending laws in Hong Kong originated from a murder case. Chen Tongjia was suspected of killing his girlfriend Pan Xiaoying in Taiwan Province last February, and then returned to Hong Kong alone. He was arrested by the Hong Kong police on March 13 last year. Chen pleaded guilty to four counts of "dealing with the proceeds of crime" commonly known as "money laundering" and was sentenced to 29 months in prison. After deducting the sentence,Chen Tongjia will be released from prison in Hong Kong on October 23, 2019.
According to Taiwan Province’s United Daily News,On the 18th, the Taiwan Affairs Council said that the suspect was willing to surrender to Taiwan Province, and called on Hong Kong to uphold the law enforcement stance of prosecuting homicide and actively continue the investigation in accordance with its legal procedures.It is also said that the Taiwan side has also clearly stated its position on the 17th, "relevant evidence will be provided on the basis of reciprocity, dignity and reciprocity, so that the Hong Kong Government can fully grasp the facts and investigate the suspects and criminal responsibilities according to law, so as to achieve fairness and justice."
It is not difficult to see that the attitude of the MAC is that it wants to be investigated by the Hong Kong side. However, in the absence of an "extradition agreement" between Hong Kong and Taiwan Province, Hong Kong can only accuse Chen Tongjia of theft and handling stolen goods, but cannot extradite Chen to Taiwan Province for investigation on suspected murder.Li Guihua, Senior Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of Hong Kong, also pointed out at a press conference today (18th) that Chen Tongjia’s case requires high evidence transfer, and "what the police can do now has been done".
Without an extradition agreement, what the Hong Kong police can do is very limited. Will the Taiwan Province authorities not know? Why did the Taiwan authorities ask the Hong Kong side to prosecute the suspect for murder?
Many Taiwanese netizens commented that the authorities in Democratic Progressive Party, Taiwan Province "dare not face this issue" at this time, and they are shirking their responsibilities.
"Ridiculous, what reason does Hong Kong use to renew the detention? People come from the beginning but dare not take it, the heart of Democratic Progressive Party Si Mazhao. "
"Cross-border telecom fraudsters do everything possible to extradite to Democratic Progressive Party, but they hope that Chen Tongjia will stay in Hong Kong. The authorities have sinister intentions."
Earlier, Li Xiaobing, associate professor of Nankai University Law School and executive director of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Law Research Center, said that,The position of the Taiwan authorities is a clever act of shirking responsibility.. Without the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, the case may become a "headless case", but it happened in Taiwan Province after all.In order to prevent the situation that cannot be explained to the people normally, we can only shirk the responsibility first and "reduce the legal and moral responsibility".
The anger of Taiwanese netizens is not unreasonable. After all,Recently, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have been playing an extremely disgraceful role during the storm of amending laws in Hong Kong. While waving flags and shouting for Hong Kong thugs, they used Hong Kong as an "election" cash machine.
Tsai Ing-Wen, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, has publicly stated on more than one occasion that he will "provide help to the Hong Kong mob and will not sit idly by". "The Taiwan Province authorities have also taken the initiative to find a way out for the thugs. The Taiwan Affairs Council said that the authorities are" concerned "about Hong Kong and will properly handle the protection of the rights and interests of Hong Kong people coming to Taiwan. Democratic Progressive Party also made a high-profile conspiracy with Hong Kong troublemaker Huang Zhifeng, creating "anti-China fear" on the island.
Even Kaohsiung Mayor Korea Yu criticized Tsai Ing-Wen, leader of Taiwan authorities, for repeatedly using Hong Kong, saying that "Hong Kong people bleed, while Democratic Progressive Party enriches the blood".
After using and consuming Hong Kong, the Taiwan authorities intend to shirk their legal and moral responsibilities. No wonder they are despised by Taiwanese netizens.
In the words of Taiwanese netizens, the Cai authorities "thought that they found a gun without bullets, but they actually blew themselves up at regular intervals. Now the gun is about to go off. How can we continue to play?"
It is worth mentioning that on the day when the Cai authorities "refused to accept the move" for political reasons, the taxi forest land inspection office on the island, which was responsible for investigating the case, said that the suspect would be arrested as soon as he entered the country and everything would be dealt with according to law. This is in obvious contrast with the Cai authorities, which to some extent highlights the "small ninety-nine" of the Cai authorities. (Overseas Network/Yang Jia)
