Modern The First Emperor of Qin: Xi Jinping (Essay)

The First Emperor of Qin

``Even if there is someone who has a different opinion than yours, do not deny the other person's position, but rather engage in dialogue and seek a compromise. “Law'' regulates these actions and attempts to reconcile interests. This is the essence of democracy. However, some cannot understand this logic at all...China's President: Xi Jinping.

He suppresses opinions that differ from his own. This is using the "laws" he arbitrarily enacted. It is a ``law'' for oppression, not a ``law'' for adjusting interests. Hong Kong is an easy-to-understand example. In addition to sufficiently depriving Hong Kong citizens of their freedoms under the Hong Kong National Security Law, the law "legally" deprived pro-democracy candidates of the opportunity to run in district council elections. In the end, no one could run. and he excluded democratic factions from the district assembly. What a wonderful application of the "law"!

Repression by ``law''... Xi Jinping is said to respect the ancient Chinese thinker: Han Fei. Han Fei envisioned applying ruthless ``laws'' to the common people to suppress them. Of course, there was no dialogue, it was a one-way street. The First Emperor of Qin was the one who adopted this idea, so isn't Xi Jinping aiming to become The First Emperor? He hangs a picture of the Great Wall of China built by The First Emperor. He believes in political ideas from 2000 years ago. It's anachronistic and frightening. Maybe Xi Jinping is an extremely timid person. Because he is afraid of dialogue. Does Xi Jinping know that The First Emperor wanted to become a god and drank mercury as a means to that end? What if Xi Jinping also drank mercury? As a fake chemist.

現代の始皇帝：習近平（エッセイ）

「自分と異なる意見の者がいたとしても、相手の立場は否定せず、対話し妥協点を探る。それらの行動を規定し、利害調整を図るのが「法」である。これは民主主義の要諦である。しかし、この理屈を全く理解できない者がいる・・・中国国家主席：習近平である。

彼は自分と異なる意見を、圧殺する。彼が恣意的に制定した「法」によってである。抑圧するための「法」であり、利害調節のための「法」ではない。解りやすい事例として香港がある。香港国家安全維持法によって香港市民の自由を十分奪っているのに加え、区議会議員選挙で、民主派の候補の立候補の機会を、「法」によって「合法的に奪い」、ついにはだれも立候補できなくし、民主派を区議会から締め出した。なんて見事な「法」の適用だろう。

「法」による抑圧・・・習近平は古代中国の思想家：韓非を尊敬しているという。韓非は非情な「法」を庶民に適用して抑圧することを構想した。もちろん対話などなく、一方通行だ。この思想を採用したのが秦の始皇帝であり、習近平は始皇帝を目指しているのではないか彼は、始皇帝の作った万里の長城の絵を掛けている。彼は２０００年前の政治思想を信奉している。アナクロであり、恐ろしいことである。たぶん、習近平は小心者である。対話が怖いのだから。始皇帝は神になることを望み、その手段として水銀を飲んでいたことを習近平は知っているだろうか？習近平も水銀を飲んだらどうだろう？化学者もどきとして。

Beijing and Hong Kong hit out at G7, EU statement over national security laws

A Guide to Navigating Corporate Legal Requirements in Hong Kong

Operating a business in Hong Kong comes with ample opportunities but also an array of legal and regulatory requirements that corporations must comply with. Failing to adhere to the rules around company formation, securities trading, taxation, employment and other key areas can land your business in hot water. This guide outlines the major legal landscape that HK corporations should be aware of.

Choosing a Business Structure

One of the first steps is deciding how you will formally constitute your HK company. Common structures for small to mid-sized companies include a Private Limited Company and Limited Company. Key legal paperwork includes filing Articles of Association and a Memorandum that specifies company objectives and structure. You’ll also need to formally issue company shares and understand share classes as well as share types like ordinary or preference shares with varying ownership rights. Statutory meetings must be held annually.

Following Securities Trading Laws

If your company seeks investment from the public, then you must comply with Hong Kong securities regulations around registering prospectuses, issuing financial reports and disclosing shareholder equity changes, governed overall by the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO). Listed firms face continuing regulatory burdens around price sensitive information – any data that may impact share prices must be announced. Insider trading is also tightly regulated under SFO, least employees use undisclosed financial information for profit.

Paying Taxes and Filing Returns

As a HK corporation, key taxes will include Profits Tax on company earnings as well as potential Withholding Tax on payments like royalties or service fees sent overseas. Proper calculation of tax residency status is essential to determine tax exposure. Audited accounts may be required, and tax returns generally must be filed annually under strict guidelines.

Meeting Employment, Payroll Regulations

Critical employment law issues span offering employment contracts that meet government standards on pay, overtime, leave policies and more per Hong Kong’s Employment Ordinance. Preventing discrimination and sexual harassment is also mandated. Retirement schemes equivalent to at least the Minimum Wage level (currently HK$37.5 hourly) must be provided. Consult deeply on hiring and termination best practices.

Protecting Intellectual Property Rights

Register trademarks and patents early to establish legal ownership over key company innovations and brands in the Hong Kong market. Also enact document management procedures focused on retaining contracts, transaction records, board minutes and other materials that may be involved in potential disputes or investigations for 6-7 years as best practice.

The regulatory pressures on HK corporations are significant, but with proper legal guidance around formation, trading, hiring, tax policies and IP rights, your company can securely navigate the Hong Kong landscape. Government agencies like InvestHK provide additional resources on ongoing compliance requirements as corporate policies evolve. Taking a conservative approach with oversight from your company secretary or legal team is wise as your business grows and expands.
