Two days ago, a Hong Kong man named Zhou Ting posted on social **, saying that he was ready to "go into exile in Canada" and would not return to Hong Kong. As soon as the news came out, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued a solemn statement on December 4: "We will make every effort to pursue and arrest in accordance with the law, and severely condemn this shameful act of absconding in fear of crime." ”

Who is Zhou Ting?
Islanders who follow the news may remember that this person established the "** organization" Demosisto with Nathan Law, Joshua Wong and others in 2016 and served as the deputy secretary-general of the organization. Although Demosisto, on the eve of the implementation of the National Security Law, claimed that it would "dissolve" and that Zhou Ting and others would "withdraw", the anti-China and destabilizing organization still threatened to "break up the whole and join the struggle". In July 2020, Chow also stood up for a number of anti-China and destabilizing elements who participated in the so-called "opposition Legislative Council primary".
By the end of 2020, Zhou Ting was sentenced to 10 months in prison for participating in the siege of the police headquarters in 2019. After being released from prison in 2021, Zhou Ting still had to comply with the conditions of the guarantee to hand over his travel documents, report regularly and not leave the country for a case of collusion with foreign countries or foreign forces. In September this year, Zhou Ting was approved to leave Hong Kong by the National Security Department for the return of travel documents under the pretext of going to Canada to study, but he must comply with the conditions for returning to Hong Kong at the end of December.
As soon as he went abroad, Zhou Ting's attitude changed greatly, and he posted a high-profile post on social **: "After careful consideration", I decided to "not go back to report", "I probably won't go back for the rest of my life". In an interview with Japanese media, Zhou Ting also said that he was considering applying for "asylum", saying that he had physical problems, including the so-called PTSD (post-traumatic sequelae), and "nothing can be done in Hong Kong in the past 3 years" - this kind of mistake and non-confession, disguised announcement of abandoning bail and absconding, can indeed only be described as shameful.
I think that at the beginning, when the Hong Kong National Security Law had not yet been promulgated and implemented, the destabilizing elements colluded with foreign forces to disrupt Hong Kong, how unscrupulous!Now, these people have only proven their short-sightedness and ignorance, and they have not foreseen that one day they will end up in a situation where they will "not go back".
What was the outcome of all the Hong Kong rioters who danced happily at the beginning?
Let's talk about Joshua Wong, who often appears in the same frame as Zhou Ting. At that time, Joshua Wong first claimed to be the leader of the social movement organization "Scholarism", and then established "Demosisto" to induce a large number of students to participate in class strikes, street political lectures, collective hunger strikes and other activities. This "man of the hour" who appeared on the cover of Time magazine and was even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in the eyes of the United States and Britain is now here

According to Hong Kong media reports, from the illegal "Occupy Central" in 2014 to 2021, Joshua Wong has repeatedly challenged the bottom line of the law, and has been sentenced to prison several times** and 6 times. In April this year, Joshua Wong was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for contempt of court for contravening an injunction and an anonymous order. Two former American journalists in Hong Kong recently revealed in their new book that on the eve of the promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Joshua Wong had sought asylum from the United States, but was refused. Some Hong Kong netizens sarcastically said that this was "used up and discarded" and "worthless" by the United States.
In July this year, the Hong Kong Police Force *** Department suspended 1 million Hong Kong dollars to arrest 8 anti-China and destabilizing elements who fled overseas, including another associate of Zhou Ting, Nathan Law. Chief Superintendent of the National Security Department, Li Kwai-wah, said at the time that since the implementation of the National Security Law, a total of 260 people have been arrested, of which 161 people and five companies have been prosecuted, and 79 have been convicted or awaiting sentencing.
The sword of the Hong Kong National Security Law has been unsheathed. Zhou Tingzhi and his ilk should have honestly accepted the legal sanctions, repented and reformed themselves as soon as possible, and absconded by abandoning bail during the break from going abroad, which would only add to the crime and bear the name of "fugitive" for the rest of their lives. Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee said that Hong Kong will go all out to hunt down any criminals who endanger ***, and unless Zhou Ting turns himself in, she will be hunted down for life.
Li Jiachao also said that Article 23 of the Basic Law gives the SAR the constitutional responsibility to enact laws on its own to prohibit harmful acts and activities. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR**) is making every effort to prepare for the completion of local legislation next year, so that the relevant laws and the Hong Kong National Security Law can be combined to effectively safeguard the legal system and establish a strong protective shield.
The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Those who take advantage of the loopholes in the law and challenge the law and order will certainly pay the price for their erroneous acts.
