"Hong Kong National Security Law"

With the promulgation of the National Security Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Hong Kong opposition and some Western supportive forces began to spread rumors in order to control the direction of public opinion, instigate and confuse public sentiment, and slander the central government to hinder the implementation of the Act . But in fact, what is wrong with the central government?

Unfinished duty

On May 28 local time, the National People's Congress (NPC) of China passed the resolution of the National Security Law of Hong Kong by almost unanimous vote. The Hong Kong National Security Law aims to prohibit division of the country, subversion of state power, terrorism, foreign interference, and to allow the national security agencies of mainland China to carry out activities in cities.

In order to fulfill the promise of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy", the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is endowed with as much power as possible, and it also stipulates that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has the responsibility and obligation to maintain national security. In 2009, the Macao Special Administrative Region passed the Law on Safeguarding National Security, filling in the gaps in relevant laws and fulfilling the constitutional responsibilities conferred by the Basic Law. Afterwards, it took multiple measures to continuously improve the legal system for maintaining national security.

It has been 23 years since Hong Kong ended its British colony and returned to China in 1997. However, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has not fulfilled its duty of "self-legislation". When proposing the establishment of the Hong Kong National Security Law, large-scale demonstrations broke out. The extreme opposition forces in Hong Kong incited the public to resist legislation. Multinational politicians such as the United States and Britain intervened in Hong Kong's government affairs and publicly supported the opposition riots. This legislation has been severely stigmatized as a highly sensitive issue.

With the outbreak of the amendments, the chaos in Hong Kong have become more rampant, which has caused tremendous damage to Hong Kong's economy and society. Demonstrators demonstrated by blocking roads, damaging public property, looting shops and setting fires. The media and rioters have made false reports about this. Rather than expressing arbitrary use of law enforcement powers by the police in the port area, obstructing their free speech.

Throughout the world, no sovereign country will allow further riots. In 2018, in France, in the protest of Gilles Janes, the explosion-proof police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators. In the recent protests in Minneapolis in the United States due to the abuse of black people, US President Trump posted a message on social media, calling the Minneapolis protesters "thugs" and warning: "When the robbery begins, the shooting begins." It is implied that guns will be used to control the situation. The riots in Hong Kong continued for a year, and legislation by the central government is imminent.

For Whom the Bell Tolls?

On May 22, Wang Chen, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress, explained the "Hong Kong National Security Law": "It is clear that this bill is to prevent, stop and punish any division of the country, subversion of the state power, organization of terrorist activities, and foreign forces. Interventions and other acts that seriously endanger national security. Better protect the safety of life and property of the vast majority of Hong Kong residents, and better protect basic rights and freedoms.

Stopping violence and suppressing chaos is the starting point of legislation. The opposition and Western intervention forces have been using "'Hong Kong's National Security Law' to influence citizens' legal rights and freedoms" as a public opinion to create momentum and are ignorant and unfounded. The death knell sounded by the "National Security Act of the Hong Kong District" only sounded for the anti-chaotic Hong Kong elements and foreign forces attempting to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs.

The popularity of the National Security Act in various countries

In fact, many developed countries have formulated extremely strict national security systems for national security, covering various aspects such as legislation, law enforcement, prosecution, trial, and criminal reform. Especially in the United States, the world ’s first comprehensive National Security Law was promulgated as early as 1947. After "9.11", the United States formulated the "Patriot Act" and other national security related programs. The double standard treats the domestic and other countries' legislative standards, which is the embodiment of American hegemony.

The "Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China" belongs to the "People's Republic of China", whether it is stipulated in Article 158 of the Basic Law: "The power of interpretation of this Law belongs to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress" or Article 159: "This Law The right to modify belongs to the National People's Congress. " It shows that the design and construction of the Basic Law and any government affairs in Hong Kong belong to China's internal affairs, and other countries have no power to intervene.

"Any country has the right to be responsible for legislation on national security issues, and the public and the media need not over-interpret." Perhaps public opinion and incitement will continue, but everyone should be clear that China will not compromise on national security issues and territorial integrity. .
