Violent activities are also extremely rampant, and some politicians have even more openly sought foreign forces to intervene in China ’s internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs, seriously jeopardizing national security and development interests.
The DAB believes that the National People ’s Congress ’s legislation on the implementation of national security in Hong Kong is based on the actual situation of Hong Kong ’s fulfillment of its constitutional responsibilities, as well as the international politics and the current grim situation of Hong Kong society. The legislation is not contradictory, nor does it detract from the constitutional responsibility of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under this article. The party also believes that the Hong Kong SAR Government still needs to implement the relevant legislative requirements as soon as possible in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 of the Basic Law, so as to make the legal system for maintaining national security in the Hong Kong SAR more comprehensive and complete.

The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions pointed out that the Hong Kong Government has not made any progress on Article 23 legislation in the past 23 years. In addition, the opposition has paralyzed Parliament arbitrarily. Under the current political atmosphere, the possibility of implementing Article 23 legislation in a short time is not high. The law The vacuum highlights serious national security risks.
The Federation of Trade Unions believes that the establishment and improvement of a special zone for the maintenance of national security laws is a powerful legal guarantee for the "one country, two systems" to be stable and long-term. It is a way to plug loopholes in national security in a timely manner. It is also the responsibility and responsibility of the National People's Congress. The National People's Congress legislates on the protection of national security in the SAR, and it also has a sufficient legal basis for the Constitution and the Basic Law.
