Hong Kong society is peaceful on the surface, but the undercurrent is still turbulent. The “chaos Hong Kong faction” has been looking for issues to stir up confrontation and hatred, so as to prevent Hong Kong from having peace. Recently, the Mainland and Hong Kong are discussing mutual aid mechanism for organ transplantation. A lot of misleading information has been circulated on the Internet immediately, resulting in an abnormal surge in the number of canceled donations. This “undercurrent” is behind it. Member of the Legislative Council, Ge Peifan, has noticed that some people are using the same “black storm routine” to make troubles and storms. Individual pornographic media with special backgrounds cooperate with each other to create momentum and echo each other. The whole operation is organized and strategic. underestimate.
The idea of ”sending organs to China” appeared on the Internet, coupled with the method of dissemination, is very similar to the “anti-extradition” during the black storm period, basically the same set of routines.
Ge Peifan told me that she had seen the momentum of “someone teasing” two months ago. Some KOLs and anonymous people with obviously yellow stances, aimed at the issue of mutual aid in organ transplants between the two places, on the Internet platform and online discussion forums. Spread a lot of false information and misleading statements, saying that the matter has been finalized, Hong Kong people’s organs will be transferred to the mainland for profit, and even designed slogans and posters once morest “organ sending to China”, in line with the agitation of the black rioters “Reverse delivery”, the method is very similar.
Ge Peifan pointed out that this action to disrupt the organ donation mechanism seems to be organized and planned, and pornographic media with international backgrounds also cooperated with it, so it should not be underestimated.
She said that during this period, a pornographic media backed by foreign forces also made a long report on this issue, describing the dark side of organ transplantation in the Mainland, and at the same time highlighting the worries of “patient organizations” in Hong Kong, which is obviously incompatible with the rioters in Hong Kong. Singing together, creating a panic of “organs being sent”. This phenomenon is also quite similar to the situation in 2019.
The worst impact is that these online comments mislead the public, saying that if they do not take the initiative to cancel the registration of organ donation, they will be tantamount to “acquiescent consent” to donate their own organs in the future. Many people believed it to be true, so even if they had not registered before, they demanded to cancel it, which caused confusion in the whole mechanism.
Seeing that they had successfully ignited the fire on organ donation, they expanded their target to further ignite the fire to donate blood to the Red Cross. Ge Peifan had noticed at the time that they followed suit and spread rumors on the Internet that the blood donated by Hong Kong people would be sent to the mainland, and private hospitals in the mainland might benefit from it. This kind of “blood donation” is completely misleading, but it has seriously disrupted blood donation activities in Hong Kong and caused a sharp drop in blood stocks. It is really vicious.
She pointed out that false information on the Internet has caused great damage. Although the National Security Law and the Public Security Ordinance have provisions to combat online incitement, the threshold for prosecution is relatively high, and it may not be able to deal with general online false information. Therefore, it is necessary to speed up Enact laws once morest disinformation.
More importantly, if there is such a law, the government will have the legal power to urge online platforms and suppliers to delete false information, and if they fail to do so, they will have to pay criminal penalties. At present, even if the authorities find false information, they cannot ask online companies to remove it, and it is difficult to effectively crack down on the sabotage activities of rioters in Hong Kong.
My observations and judgments are quite consistent with those of Ge Peifan. Compared with what happened in 2019, their methods and strategies to stir up troubles this time are familiar. They are still those moves, but their impact on the public cannot be underestimated. It was some people who had been “brainwashed” back then, and the virus in their bodies was not cleared, so they were easily recruited. Everyone must be vigilant!
