quote: 黎智英:运动目标是XI下台 CNN Business 8月27日有篇文章值得大家留意,題為「為何支持民主的搞事者黎智英是唯一一位億萬富翁抵抗中國」,內文清楚揭示黎智英的看法,話今次示威運動,最終的目標是拉11下馬。
黎智英在訪問之中清楚披露他的立場。他形容,中美貿易戰實是民主與獨裁之戰:「新的冷戰實際上是價值觀之爭,我們在香港是爭取與美國共同珍視的民主價值以對抗內地,我們正在敵陣之中奮戰。」黎智英坦言,已準備好戰死(It's a battle Lai says he's prepared to die for.)。
報導繼續說,對黎智英來說,若香港這個金融中心因為爭取自由而受影響,也只好這樣,身處其中的市民不應以此作為藉口不爭取。他說:「如果我們爭取,那仍有奇蹟出現的機會;但我們不爭取,我們便要服從暴政。我認為假如我們能力廢除奴隸制,我們也有能力消除暴政,是有希望的。」 https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/27/media/jimmy-lai-hong-kong-protests-intl-hk/index.html If mounting international pressure coincides with an economic slowdown and job losses, China could change, speculates Lai. "That doesn't mean that the Communist Party will collapse," he adds. "But it might mean that Xi would have to step down and a more liberal government will take over and slowly we will be on the right way." But there is no sign of this happening anytime soon.
