Inside a popular but now deleted article

(27 Jul) An article in the Chinese media "Nanfengchuang" that interviewed Qin Shuo, a Chinese media person, was deleted after it went viral on the Internet recently. Without naming any specific politicians in the article, Qin Shuo said that China’s enemy is not the virus nor the United States. "Ideological isolation and imprisonment" are things that make people worry. The article also called on the Chinese government to be a "service-oriented government" and "maintain the rules" instead of directly allocating resources. How much does this say about the voice of Chinese private enterprises?

// in 2019 she abandoned everything and moved to the United States. She said that China's scarce rule by law has left private entrepreneurs like her lacking institutional protection

//One is that the government does not have credibility, and the other is that enterprises are precarious, and at the judicial level, they are not equal to private enterprises

//China is not a fair business environment, and companies are divided into different levels.

//the key to the policy "say one thing and do another thing" is that there is no systematic guarantee of the rule by law system.

//Chinese entrepreneurs are either in prison or on their way to prison

//After Xiao Jianhua was taken from Hong Kong to China for investigation on 27 Jan 2017, his whereabouts are still unknown... The 3 trillion financial empire built by Xiao Jianhua for more than 20 years and starting from 300 yuan collapsed overnight.

//entrepreneurs must be patriotic

//under Xi Jinping's rule, even the different voices in the CCP do not want to pretend to listen.

//The economy has a lot of negative effects

#Economics #BasicLaw #WTO HK Secretary for Commerse makes a misguided comment, as history suggests otherwise

A Brief History of GATT and WTO:

Hong Kong acquired the membership of the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade (#GATT) as a separate customs territory in 1986.

On 1 January 1995, the World Trade Organization (WTO) replaced the GATT, which had been in existence since 1947.

The governments that have had signed GATT were officially known as “GATT contracting parties”. Upon signing the new WTO agreements, they, including Hong Kong, officially became known as “WTO members”.

The Basic Law of Hong Kong Special Administration Region (HKSAR) was enacted in 1997. Article 116 of the Basic Law provides that HKSAR shall be a separate customs territory.

China became a WTO member on 11 December 2001.

Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward Yau Tang-wah, however, claimed that China, which became a member of WTO only in 2001, had permitted Hong Kong to be a member of WTO in 1995 based on Basic Law, which took effect in 1997.
