Lower numbers reflect need for clear strategy of mass action against authoritarian rule<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Socialist Action reporters<\/p>\n

For the 16th year running tens of thousands of Hong Kong people turned out on Sunday July 1 for the annual \u20187.1\u2019 anti-government demonstration. The main slogan of the day was \u201cend one-party dictatorship\u201d \u2013 a slogan the dictatorship is trying to ban.<\/p>\n

July 1 is the anniversary of Hong Kong\u2019s return to Chinese rule after 156 years as a British colony. But since 2003 it has been consecrated as a day of mass protest. This was after a huge mobilisation of 500,000 people that year defeated the government\u2019s attempt to impose \u2018Article 23\u2019 national security legislation to severely curtail political and democratic rights. Today, the government is working to revive the \u2018Article 23\u2019 legislation along with a raft of other anti-democratic measures.<\/p>\n

This year the \u20187.1\u2019 demonstration marked one year in office for Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, elected by just 777 votes in a Beijing-controlled election committee. Lam\u2019s rule has seen unprecedented political repression and attacks on democratic rights. These attacks of the local Hong Kong government were on full display in the run up to the \u20187.1\u2019 demo.<\/p>\n

Police refused to allow the march to start from its customary assembly point and instead gave this area to pro-Beijing groups whose application was made later. Police then threatened to arrest marchers if they refused to accept and follow the new more restrictive march route. Huge media coverage in the preceding weeks predicted a showdown between marchers and the police. Meanwhile, Ta Kung Pao<\/em>, a vitriolic daily owned by the Chinese \u2018Communist\u2019 Party dictatorship, called for the demo to be banned altogether claiming it \u201cviolates the law and the constitution\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the day, there was no clash. The police are not confident that if they provoked a confrontation they would come out on top in terms of public opinion. The police threats of recent weeks were psychological warfare to scare people from joining the march.<\/p>\n

The turnout was lower this year, around 50,000, but still a powerful protest. It comes four weeks after 115,000 rallied for the annual June 4 vigil, commemorating the Chinese dictatorship\u2019s massacre of youth and workers fighting for democracy in 1989.<\/p>\n

Rather than the government and police propaganda campaign, the main factor limiting the turnout is the lack of a clear lead from the main pro-democracy parties, the pan-democrats, who have been in full-scale political retreat since Lam came to power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have failed to put forward any new strategy of struggle against the authoritarian government,\u201d commented Jaco of Socialist Action. \u201cDespite the weakness of the leadership, 50,000 came out today. If the movement was linked to a clear call for strike action, starting with a one-day citywide strike, and to issue an appeal to mainland Chinese workers and youth, this would get a much bigger echo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Election ban<\/strong><\/p>\n

The government and mainstream media have seized upon the lower turnout to ramp up their propaganda campaign.\u00a0\u201cThe smallest turnout ever for July 1,\u201d has been their main theme suggesting that support for the democracy struggle is fading away.<\/p>\n

In previous years, the government\u2019s reaction to the\u00a0\u20187.1\u2019 march has been low-key and circumspect. It would issue a statement saying it \u201cunderstands\u201d public concerns. This year has been different. The government has gone on the offensive saying slogans against dictatorship are not in the \u201coverall interests\u201d of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

A government press release said\u00a0\u201cchanting slogans which disrespect \u2018one country\u2019 and disregard the constitutional order or which are sensational and misleading was not in line with Hong Kong\u2019s overall interests and would undermine its development.\u201d \u2018One country\u2019 is a reference to China\u2019s sovereignty under the\u00a0\u2018one country, two systems\u2019 formula of partial autonomy for Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

In particular the government is stepping up pressure against the slogan \u201cend one-party dictatorship\u201d. They are lining up to force opposition election candidates to disavow this slogan or be banned from standing. This propaganda does not much affect the mood of ordinary workers and youth whose anger is growing, but it can terrify the\u00a0\u2018moderate\u2019 pan-democrats who are anyway uncomfortable with the concept of mass struggle and want to avoid a fight with the government at any cost.<\/p>\n

New attacks on democratic rights are pummelling Hong Kong as the local government and Beijing attempt to incapacitate the democracy movement. The struggle for democratic rights in Hong Kong, since before 2003 and in fact stretching back to the 1989 mass struggle in China, has mobilised millions \u2013 in a city of 7.3 million.<\/p>\n

The Umbrella Revolution of 2014 saw 1.2 million take part in rallies, occupations and anti-government protests during a record 79-day standoff. This movement was the biggest political challenge to the Chinese dictatorship, now under absolute ruler Xi Jinping, since the mass movement of 1989. The government\u2019s repressive measures today are an attempt to prevent any repetition, but this is ultimately doomed to fail especially when political developments in China catch up with, and quite possibly surpass, those in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Socialist Action ran stalls along the route of the \u20187.1\u2019 demonstration with the new issue of Socialist (\u793e\u6703\u4e3b\u7fa9\u8005) magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur slogans for the demo were \u2018Rebuild a fighting democratic movement\u2019 and \u2018Down with dictatorship\u2019,\u201d said Jaco of Socialist Action. \u201cWe link this to the need for a mass workers\u2019 party with socialist policies and to spread the mass struggle to China,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur message is that the anti-authoritarian struggle also needs to be anti-capitalist \u2013 that is the only way to defeat the dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Timeline of Carrie Lam\u2019s 1st year in power<\/h3>\n

July 1, 2017:<\/strong> Carrie Lam sworn in. Xi Jinping speaking in Hong Kong warns the people not to cross Beijing\u2019s \u201cred lines\u201d and denounces those who call for independence.<\/p>\n

July 14, 2017:<\/strong> Four pro-democracy legislators disqualified from the Legislative Council (Legco)\u00a0in an undemocratic purge. Among them is \u2018Long Hair\u2019 Leung Kwok-hung of the League of Social Democrats (LSD), a veteran of the democracy struggle. This followed the exclusion of two \u2018localist\u2019 (Hong Kong nationalist) legislators six months earlier. Lam\u2019s government has thus thrown one-fifth of the opposition legislators out of the Legco, overturning the results of the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

July 25, 2017:<\/strong> Government announces \u2018co-location\u2019 plan for the new high-speed railway to China \u2013 ostensibly to \u201csave time\u201d mainland police and immigration officials will operate legally in Hong Kong for the first time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

August 15 and 17, 2017:<\/strong> Two court cases against Umbrella activists and land rights protesters result in the first significant jail sentences for young democracy activists. Sixteen defendants are jailed for terms of six to 13 months, including Joshua Wong Chi-fung of student party Demosisto, and Raphael Wong Ho-ming of LSD. The sentences overturn lighter sentences that the 16 had already served.<\/p>\n

August 20, 2017:<\/strong> Called at just a few days\u2019 notice after the trials of the sixteen, 140,000 people turn out to protest the jailings and the government\u2019s manipulation of the courts. The huge turnout is completely unforeseen by the main pan-democratic parties who tail-end a demonstration they did not initiate.<\/p>\n

October 1, 2017:<\/strong> National Anthem Law is promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People\u2019s Congress (NPC) in China, which prescribes punishments for \u201cinsults\u201d. The Hong Kong government announces it will introduce the law in Hong Kong. The new law targets young people especially, such as Hong Kong football supporters who have routinely booed when the Chinese national anthem is played at international games.<\/p>\n

December 15, 2017:<\/strong> Legco votes to\u00a0\u201ccastrate\u201d itself. The pro-government super-majority, enhanced by the disqualifications of opposition members, railroads through rule changes that curtail the rights of the opposition to delay or scrutinise government legislation.<\/p>\n

2018:<\/strong> The government\u2019s \u201clawfare\u201d against pro-democracy protesters intensifies. Journalist Kong Tsung-gan reports, \u201cIn January, there were six trials of 43 defendants; in February, six of 27; in March, eight of 46; in April, five of 27; and in May, three of 21. Since the start of 2018, more than three years after the Umbrella Movement concluded, there have been four movement-related trials of 47 defendants, sending the overall number of those tried to at least 266 and the number convicted to at least 100.<\/p>\n

January 17, 2018:<\/strong> 16 defendants are found guilty\u00a0of ignoring a court injunction during the clearance of the Mong Kok Occupy protest site at the end of the Umbrella Movement in 2014. The 16 all face prison sentences, including\u00a0Joshua Wong and Raphael Wong who have already received prison terms at the August 2017 trials. The 16 have appealed against the judgement.<\/p>\n

January 27, 2018:<\/strong> 21-year-old Agnes Chow Ting of Demosisto is banned from standing in the Legco by-election to replace her party colleague Nathan Law Kwun-chung, one of six disqualified legislators. The ban by \u2018impartial\u2019 election officials claims Chow is ineligible because her party manifesto calls for \u201cself determination\u201d. No objection had been raised when Law stood and was elected in 2016.<\/p>\n

March 11, 2018:<\/strong> Legco by-elections to fill four seats left vacant by the government\u2019s purge. Two seats are won by the pan-democrats and two by the pro-government camp. Three candidates have been banned from standing. After the elections, which the pro-government camp claim as a victory, Tam Yiu-chung, Hong Kong\u2019s only member of China\u2019s NPC Standing Committee says anyone calling to \u201cend one-party dictatorship\u201d is ineligible to run in elections.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

March 16, 2018:<\/strong> The government announces it is drafting the National Anthem Bill to implement China\u2019s National Anthem Law in Hong Kong. It proposes fines of HK$50,000 and up to three years in jail for \u201cdisrespecting\u201d the anthem.<\/p>\n

March 17, 2018:<\/strong> Xi Jinping sworn in as China\u2019s president for a second term after the NPC votes to abolish term limits, opening the way for \u201clifetime rule\u201d. This shift from a more \u2018collective\u2019 dictatorship model reinforces the repressive direction of Xi\u2019s regime. But it also triggers large-scale unexpected protests from among China\u2019s 770 million internet users.<\/p>\n

March 30, 2018:<\/strong> Government issues a statement\u00a0\u201cstrongly condemning\u201d a speech by university professor Benny Tai Yiu-ting which vaguely broached the idea of an independent Hong Kong among other future scenarios. Pro-government figures call for Tai to be prosecuted and sacked from his job. Tai\u2019s speech, made at a forum in Taiwan a few weeks earlier, was turned into a punch bag for the establishment campaign to restrict free speech and prepare public opinion for a new crack at introducing \u2018Article 23\u2019 national security legislation.<\/p>\n

May 28, 2018:<\/strong> LSD chairman Avery Ng sentenced to four months in prison for revealing the identity of a senior government official who was under investigation by Hong Kong\u2019s anti-corruption bureau (ICAC). The court rejects Ng\u2019s defence that his disclosure was of \u201csignificant public interest\u201d. The harsh sentence is yet another political landmark and confirms a government vendetta against the radical LSD as part of its wider crackdown.<\/p>\n

June 11, 2018:<\/strong> Prominent former Hong Kong independence advocate and \u2018localist\u2019 Edward Leung Tin-kei is sent to prison for six years in an unprecedentedly harsh judgement. With Leung this brings to 25 the number of mostly young defendants found guilty for involvement in the Mongkok \u2018riot\u2019 of 2016. The 25 have received a combined prison term of 71 years.<\/p>\n

June 14, 2018:<\/strong> The Legco passes the government\u2019s co-location bill giving the green light for a massive China-controlled police station at the West Kowloon Terminus of the soon-to-be-opened high-speed railway line to Guangzhou. Pan-democrat opposition is stifled by unprecedented restrictions imposed by Legco president Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen and the pro-government Legco majority.<\/p>\n
