"South China Morning Post" today (30th) published an interview with the Secretary of the Security Bureau Li Jiachao. Li Jiachao mentioned that it is not ruled out to raise the level of terrorist attacks in Hong Kong. It is now in the observation stage and I believe that law enforcement agencies can cope with it. If the level of terrorist attack risk is raised, Hong Kong will conduct high-profile patrols, block high-risk locations, and search the public for bags.

In addition, Li Jiachao mentioned that severe measures will be taken to make the public aware of the serious situation, including the use of the United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Regulations. The Chief Executive applies to the court for an order to designate the suspect as a terrorist or terrorist associate. Li Jiachao denied that it was for political purposes, referring to the fact that the authorities referred the case to the court based on the evidence. Li Jiachao mentioned that he believed that the "radicals" (the radicals) were trained.

Li Jiachao and the Commissioner of Police Deng Bingqiang have repeatedly stated that they will study and invoke the "Anti-Terrorism Law" to prosecute the arrested person because of the discovery of explosives.
