当地时间10月17日，有网友在新加坡论坛网站“SG Talk”上分享了三封给美国参议员约什·霍利（Josh Hawley）、泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）以及美国哥伦比亚广播公司的电视节目《60分钟》（60 Minutes）的信，引发关注。
Your willingness to sacrifice an entire city, it’s way of life, its civility, the future of its youth, it’s freedoms unmatched anywhere else in the world, and it’s high degree of autonomy in a historically unique circumstance, is in my opinion a crime against humanity.
Your sole punitive objective of giving China a black eye, demonstrates not only a childish approach to the needs of the world, but also demonstrates a depravity of moral value, unbecoming of any religious institution whether Christian, Muslim, Judaism or Buddhism.
The world is NOT seeing the truth of Hong Kong. And your're only perpetuating that lie. It is seeing a facade of half truths created by one nation with the sole intent of undermining another nation hoping to curtail the continued emergence of that nation on the world stage. The world is seeing a singular view of Hong Kong events from the lense of those who wish to destroy its parent, where the only possible outcome is to completely sacrifice the child.
…But to choose Hong Kong as the sacrificial lamb for that reckoning is not only morally wrong, it is tactically and strategically wrong - if your objective is to bring China to its knees. You will not achieve your objective by bringing anarchy to Hong Kong.
If you don't understand something don't weigh in. Your incomplete view can destroy lives. Your being a sideline US enabler of violent protesters will have no positive outcome for the protesters your supporting...or the city stuck in between your real target (China) and your country. So quit using Hong Kong and it's students as a pawn in your clear objective to curtail what you fear - Chinese hegemony in the region. You are unknowingly perpetuating that outcome.
I am an American living in Hong Kong and for you to come to this city, claim you see no violence in your short limited time here, and give unquestioned support to those who are destroying this city is an affront to all intelligent law abiding peaceful people who live here.
These protesters you are supporting are violating and undermining all rules of law of this great city. They are clearing a path to anarchy. They are lynching innocent bystanders (who are in fact voicing their freedom of speech in the most basic ways), they are destroying anything and everything of a contrary view (and in the most violent way). They are destroying public property everyone in this city depends on. They are committing the most horrendous acts of violence against fellow human beings - Yet you support them.
You are an evangelical Christian but there is nothing Christian like in the protesters behavior. It's ironic isn't it - that the most inhuman and brutal treatment of fellow human beings I have ever witnessed in my life comes at the hands of your Christian lead movement. Shame on you Mr Cruz for perpetuating a lie - you see no violence!
There is nothing peaceful about these protests. There is nothing Christian about their murderous and destructive ways. There is nothing Democratic about their wholesale rejection of anyone who speaks a contrary opinion or offers any solution different from theirs (and they don’t offer any solutions).
For you to claim you see no evidence of violence by the protesters you are supporting shows you are nothing but an unmitigated liar or a complete idiot. Such a statement from a foreign government official unmasks your true intentions.
I have seen a lot in my worldly travels but I have never seen a peaceful, law abiding free and open society descend into such chaos, over such a short period of time. Where mob justice underpinned by mob violence is the new law in the streets, where those you are supporting are demonstrating a complete lack of humanity to fellow human beings — and propagandizing everything in their wake.
Perhaps you would like the same violence inflicted on your city? Your transport system destroyed, the business in your neighbourhoods set to fire, your friends beaten to an inch of their lives, your young children brainwashed, only to lose their futures consumed by their hatred and violence which has no possible positive outcome to them, then have representatives of foreign governments come to your city vocally supporting those who are destroying the city.
Your misguided sense of righteousness is going to lead to ruination for those you are supporting. And you will shoulder that blame, and those in this society will never forget that. Accountability will fall on your shoulders.
You can take your false Christian values and take them straight to hell with you Mr. Cruz.
I love your show. Always have for the last 30+ years. But I am incredibly dismayed by your single sided view of the Hong Kong protest movement, a completely unbalanced view of a Christian lead movement that is committing unspeakable acts of violence and showing a lack of humanity I never thought possible. All against the citizens in Hong Kong who, if you had done your research, might find them to be a majority.
You made no attempt to seek a view of the other side. And by the other side I do not mean China. I mean the majority of people living in this city, now living under a cloud of fear — fearful of speaking any contrary opinion to those who are ironically seeking a democratic platform — those very people you are supporting who have not shown an iota of tolerance for other opinion, but rather have shown an incredible lack of humanity in the violent mob justice they are committing against so many in this city, including a very large number of single elderly individuals who happen to be unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Not Jimmy Lai, nor Joshua Wong, nor their violent protesters running amuck destroying the fabric of life in what once was the most open, free, law abiding place on Earth, are appropriate representatives of Hong Kong. But they are in fact the only reason the people of this city are losing their freedoms and their gold standard legal system. Not China.
Next time do your research before becoming an unwitting (or perhaps witting) enabler of the violence being inflicted on a city, and the majority of people living here — living now in fear — not because of anything China has done, but what the protesters, and those of you who are enabling them, are doing.
