Various groups of democratic parties also held a joint press conference in response today. Convener Cen Zijie said that after the news of the review of the National Security Law was issued, the Hong Kong stock market "opened low and kept falling", saying that the Chinese Communist Party is the party promoting "Hong Kong speculation" This move not only destroys freedom and democracy, but also destroys the foundation of Hong Kong's economic prosperity. He pointed out that the government has also tried to pass the masking law and the restraining order without the Legislative Council, and then became a tool for police abuse. At the same time, the court may not be able to protect Hong Kong people. After the implementation of the National Security Law, non-Hong Kong people can even go to Hong Kong to enforce the law, and may not even have to go to trial in Hong Kong, criticizing the move as "the heart of the heart is not dead." Cen Zijie expressed the hope that after the Democratic Front announces the action later, more than two million Hong Kong people will participate at that time, and also urges the public to "state their position in a way that they can afford", and believes that the Hong Kong people have also been desperate during the anti-revision movement. Yes, but later the government can withdraw.

Li Zhuoren, chairman of the stake committee, said that the CCP ’s move is now announcing to the international community that Hong Kong has entered the "one country, one system" system, criticizing the National Security Law as a "universal key" for criminalizing it. He also questioned whether the SFC ’s support for the rights protection and democratic movements in the Mainland had committed the crime of inciting subversion of national security. He believed that the definition of national security was "appointing the Communist Party of China," and criticized the human rights situation under Xi Jinping's administration as worse than in 2003. Li Zhuoren also believes that the National Security Law is aimed at people with ties to foreign countries, questioning "Hong Kong's secondary system is an international city?", And that the CCP's move is to dig its own grave and isolate itself internationally. He also called on Hong Kong people to persevere in their struggle and show determination to the world. The international community will respond by then, and encourage Hong Kong people not to be too pessimistic.

Chen Shuzhuang, a member of the Citizens ’Legislative Council and convener of the Democrats, said that the central government has intervened in Hong Kong affairs in the past few months, such as criticizing the yellow economy circle, criticizing the examination questions of the history examination of the diploma, and so on. Lessons from failure. She pointed out that the state security organs will enforce mainland laws in Hong Kong, and will not enforce laws in accordance with Hong Kong laws. They will not be restricted by Hong Kong laws and may even go to a Chinese court for trial.

Huang Biyun, a member of the Democratic Party ’s Legislative Council, pointed out that the National Security Law makes Hong Kong ’s administrative, legislative, and judicial authorities obey. I believe that China ’s national security agencies will be extended to Hong Kong in the short term, and it will also stipulate how Hong Kong ’s administrative agencies implement the National Security Law. Criticism is a violation of the rights granted to Hong Kong people by the Basic Law.

Leung Kwok-hung, a former member of the Social People ’s Legislative Council, took the T-shirt "Ending One Party Dictatorship" he was wearing as an example, saying that as long as the masses wore the T-shirt at the same time, the crime of subversion of national security was already committed on the mainland. He criticized the current government for saying that there is terrorist activity in Hong Kong, but in fact there is already an anti-terrorism law, and there is no need to establish a national security law. He took Liu Xiaobo, the drafter of Charter 08 as an example, saying that he was sentenced to prison under the National Security Law for many years. Liang Guoxiong urged Hong Kong people to explain to the world that the laws do not represent the wishes of Hong Kong people inside and outside the Parliament after the implementation of the National Security Law.
