It's still the same sentence, "turning back is the shore"!

* Zhong Hanlin, the former convener of the "Student Movement", claimed to have fled to the United Kingdom.
At yesterday's (December 29) regular press conference, spokesperson Mao Ning responded.
Mao Ning presided over the regular press conference on December 29 Picture: **
Mao Ning said: "I want to emphasize that Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law, and law enforcement must be strict and violators must be prosecuted. It is futile to try to evade legal responsibility by relying on foreign countries to gain self-respect, and they will certainly be investigated according to law. ”
It is worth noting that Zhong Hanlin is not the only "former member of the ** organization" who has illegally fled abroad in recent times. Previously, Zhou Ting, a former member of the "** organization" Demosisto, who was released on bail by the National Security Department pending investigation, was stranded in Canada and did not return.
So, why did the former members of the ** organization flee overseas?What will they get in the future?
Let's look at Zhong Hanlin. He was sentenced to a total of 43 months' imprisonment in the District Court in 2021 after pleading guilty to two counts, namely national and money laundering. This case is the third national security law sentencing case.
According to Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and other ** news, on June 5 this year, Zhong Hanlin was released from Tai Lam Correctional Institution after completing his sentence, and must abide by a supervision order for one year after being released from prison.
In October last year, Zhong Hanlin was escorted to the court for arraignment in a police car Photo: Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao.
But the latest news is that he has fled to the UK.
This is certainly not surprising at all.
In 2020, Zhong Hanlin tried to seek so-called "asylum" in the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau when he knew that he could not escape the blame. Who knew that he couldn't enter the door and was finally arrested outside the US Consulate!
I still remember that after he was arrested by Hong Kong** at that time, the "Friends of Hong Kong", an organization that assisted him in destabilizing Hong Kong in the United Kingdom, once scolded the US Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macao as "shameful" in overseas social networks**. At the same time, the group also confirmed that the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau rejected Zhong's request for asylum.
This time, Zhong Hanlin did nothing more than repeat the old trick. It's just that he seems to have succeeded.
According to reports, the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department held a press conference on December 29 and said that Chung Hanlin should be supervised until June 4, 2024. On December 14, he informed the supervisor of a trip to Okinawa, and on December 25, he reported that he "could not catch the plane". On the same day, the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department learned that Chung had gone to the United Kingdom to apply for "political asylum".
On December 28, the day before it was confirmed that Chung had fled to the UK, Chow Ting, who was suspected of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law**, returned to Hong Kong to report to the police station. As expected, Zhou Ting did not return, violating the bail regulations.
Zhou Ting: Information.
The reason why it is said is that on December 3, Zhou Ting posted on social ** that he decided not to return to Hong Kong to report "after careful consideration", "maybe I will not go back for the rest of my life".
Although ** repeatedly sent signals that she hoped that she would find her lost, Zhou Ting ignored it.
On December 29, Hong Kong** invited Zhou Ting's parents to the Tai Po Police Station to assist in the investigation. According to Hong Kong media "Orange News" and others, Zhou Ting's mother is his guarantor.
From this point of view, it is normal for ** to ask his mother to assist in the investigation. It is also normal for his father to accompany his mother to the police station to assist in the investigation.

Orange News "disclosed that Hong Kong** strongly condemned such as Zhou Ting's "irresponsible behavior that openly challenges the law and order, and calls on the parties to rein in the precipice, not to choose to take a road of no return, and bear the name of 'fugitive' for the rest of their lives".
Previously, at the same regular press conference, the spokesperson of ** had expressed support for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the judiciary to perform their duties in accordance with the law.
Zhou Ting ran away, and Zhong Hanlin also ran away. It seems that some former members of the "** organization fled overseas as soon as they seized the opportunity. So, can they really live a free life?
I'm afraid it's hard!There is no doubt about it
A fugitive is a fugitive!
Because of the name of fugitives, it is actually difficult for them to develop normally overseas. Even if she wants to get a degree overseas like Zhou Ting, if she successfully gets her degree, which big company will she be hired?
If these people continue to go all the way to the black, such as accepting funding from some anti-China forces, they should actually think about how much funding they can get according to their "coffee position".Moreover, if China's relations with the countries concerned improve, will they be left behind?
Anyway, Zhong Hanlin has personally experienced being abandoned by the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau. I hope he doesn't forget the scene of that day!
Zhong Hanlin, who claimed to have fled to the United Kingdom.
For them personally, there seems to be no other suitable way to go but to turn back.
Sometimes it's a little confusing, such as Zhong Hanlin and the like, in fact, after a few months, they will probably completely regain their freedom. What was his purpose in fleeing to England?
Is it really a cause to "oppose China and destabilize Hong Kong"?As everyone knows, those "bigwigs" who once "opposed China and destabilized Hong Kong", such as Jimmy Lai, are no longer able to turn over. At this time, Zhong Hanlin, who had laundered money and earned a vote on the occasion of the "turmoil over the legislative amendments", still wanted to go to "disrupt Hong Kong" and get funding from other countries?As everyone knows, if they continue to set up their own "anti-China and destabilizing Hong Kong" persona, I am afraid that what awaits them is a dead end!
It's still the same sentence, "turning back is the shore"!
