Promoting National Security in Hong Kong: Safeguarding Prosperity and Stability

Liu Guangyuan said yesterday at a seminar held at the Joint Meeting to Promote the Constitution and the Hong Kong Basic Law to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law that the 2019 amendment bill seriously affected national security, Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability, and the personal and property safety of citizens. “Hong Kong cannot be chaotic. “Can’t afford it, only with national security can Hong Kong be safe, and only with national security can our family be safe.” He said that in the critical period of the new stage, Hong Kong must consciously safeguard the fundamental national system established in the Constitution and build a solid national security barrier in accordance with the Basic Law and the Hong Kong National Security Law. Long-term peace and stability.

Li Jiachao: Be wary of overseas attempts to use soft power to fight against people’s misunderstandings

Li Jiachao said that the international environment is becoming increasingly complex and overseas chaos in Hong Kong is still rampant. He said that “soft confrontation” is against the central government’s comprehensive governance power, against the high degree of autonomy of the SAR government, and against the mainland system. It is often packaged and provided with a superficial name, under the guise of issues such as people’s livelihood, to create conflicts and confuse people’s hearts.

Li also said that not a single word of the Basic Law has been changed in the 33 years since it was promulgated. It represents the country’s firmness in its original aspirations and its unswerving implementation of the policy of “one country, two systems, Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy.” He said that the Hong Kong government is making every effort to study relevant legislative plans to complete the local legislation for safeguarding national security stipulated in Article 23 of the Basic Law as soon as possible.

Other speakers include Secretary for Justice Lam Ting-kwok, former deputy director of the Basic Law Committee Tam Wai-chu, Legislative Council member Kan Wai-man and former Law Society President So Siu-chung. Lam Dingguo mentioned that the idea behind Article 23 of the Basic Law is the central government’s trust in Hong Kong. Related legislative issues have been lingering for more than 20 years. Uncertain things are the most harmful to society, so the legislation must be completed as soon as possible.
