URupert Hogg wanyanzelwa ukuba arhoxe namhlanje njengoko I-Cathay Pacific Airways ' IGosa eliyiNtloko lesiGqeba sokuLawula, kulandela uxinzelelo lukaBeijing kwi-airline malunga nokuthatha inxaxheba kwabanye babasebenzi bayo kuqhankqalazo oluchasene ne China.
I-Hogg iye yabangoyena mntu uphambili ekuxinzelelekeni koxinzelelo lwaseburhulumenteni lwase-China nakwamanye amazwe Hong Kong iinkampani ukuxhasa imeko yeqela elilawulayo lamaKomanisi ngokuchasene nabaqhankqalazi.
Inkampani yaseBeijing ijonge iinkampani kwiveki ephelileyo xa ibilumkisa abasebenzi baseCathay Pacific abathi "baxhase okanye bathathe inxaxheba kuqhankqalazo olungekho mthethweni" banqandwe ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya ukuya okanye ukuwela ilizwe. UCathay Pacific uthe umqhubi wenqwelomoya owayetyholwa ngokwenza uqhushululu wasuswa kwimisebenzi yokubhabha.
IHong Kong ikwinyanga yesithathu yoqhanqalazo olwaqala ngokuchasene nomthetho ocetywayo wokubuyiselwa kwilizwe kodwa lwandisiwe lwabandakanya iimfuno zenkqubo yedemokhrasi.
UCathay Pacific ufuna abaphathi abatsha ukuba "babeke ukuzithemba kwakhona" kuba ukuzibophelela kwabo kukhuseleko nakukhuseleko "kwabuzwa," Usihlalo wenkampani, uJohn Slosar, utshilo kwingxelo.
UHogg urhoxile "ekuthatheni uxanduva njengenkokeli yenkampani ngenxa yeziganeko zamva nje," satsho isitatimende.
ICathay Pacific isebenza ngaphezulu kweendawo ezingama-200 eAsia, eYurophu naseMelika. Inabasebenzi abangama-33,000.
Umzali wayo, iCathay Pacific Group, ikwangumnini weDragonair, Air Hong Kong kunye neHK Express.
USlosar uthe kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba uCathay Pacific akabaxelelanga abasebenzi bakhe ukuba bacinge ntoni, kodwa isikhundla satshintsha emva kwesilumkiso sase China.
NgoMvulo, uHogg usoyikise abasebenzi ngezohlwayo ezibandakanya ukudubula xa benokuthatha inxaxheba "kuqhankqalazo olungekho mthethweni."
IHong Kong yathenjiswa "ngenqanaba eliphezulu lokuzimela" - inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba "lilizwe elinye, iinkqubo ezimbini" nguBeijing - xa ikholoni yangaphambili yaseBritane ibuyela eChina e1997.
Abagxeki bakarhulumente bathi loo nto ichithwa ziinkokheli zaseHong Kong kunye neQela lamaKomanisi.
“ICathay Pacific izinikele ngokupheleleyo eHong Kong phantsi komgaqo 'welizwe elinye, iinkqubo ezimbini' njengoko kubekiwe kuMthetho osisiseko. Siqinisekile ukuba iHong Kong izakuba nekamva elihle, ”utshilo uSlosar kwingxelo.
Ezinye iinkampani nazo zibanjiwe kukuthanda ubuzwe.
Iimpawu zefashoni uGivenchychy, uVerace kunye noQeqeshi baxolisa emva kokuba abasebenzisi bemithombo yeendaba zaseTshayina bebagxekile ngokuthengisa izikipa ezibonisa iHong Kong, kunye nommandla waseTshayina waseMacau kunye ne-Taiwan ezilawulayo.
I-Taiwan yahlukana nomhlaba omkhulu kwimfazwe yamakhaya ngo-1949 kodwa iBeijing ibanga isiqithi njengesiqithi sayo kwaye icinezela iinkampani ukuba zithi ziyinxalenye yeChina.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, iinqwelomoya ze20 ezibandakanya iBritish Airways, iLufthansa kunye neAir Canada zatshintsha iiwebhusayithi zabo ukubiza iTaiwan yinxalenye yeChina phantsi komyalelo ovela kumlawuli waseTshayina. I-White House yabiza ibango "ngobubhanxa be-Orwellian."
