This year's National People's Congress promoted the implementation of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" in the form of Annex 3 of the Basic Law, which has aroused great concern. More than 380 Pan-District District Council members initiated a joint counter-legislation, while more than 80 formed District Council members signed a joint support.

Pan-District Councillors approve legislation to reduce "one country, two systems" to empty talk

More than 380 members of the Pan-District District Council issued a statement, pointing out that the provisions of the "Fugitive Offenders Ordinance" have caused fierce opposition from Hong Kong people and widespread doubts by the international community, resulting in a social tear and the dilemma between the government and the people. The statement criticized that those in power not only failed to reflect on their responsibilities, but accused Hong Kong people striving for freedom to destroy social peace, created public opinion to cooperate with the central government to bypass the local legislative process, and directly included the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" in Annex III of the Basic Law. In this way, "one country, two systems" will be reduced to empty talk, and Hong Kong's freedom will be reduced to nothing.

Members of the Pan-District District Council said that they oppose any form of legislation that tightens democracy and freedom. It also refers to the establishment of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Land" by the National People's Congress.

The statement also pointed out that the implementation of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" this time is to tear up the contract, and the international community will not sit idly by.

Members of the formed district consider the legislation to be legitimate and reasonable

As for more than 80 formed district councillors, they also issued a statement expressing their firm support for the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law." 

The statement stated that the opposition has engaged in "political speculation", "economic speculation", and "violent speculation", endangering "one country, two systems", national sovereignty, security, and development interests.

Members of the formed district said that under the circumstances of serious threats to national security and lack of relevant laws, it is reasonable and reasonable for the National People ’s Congress to legislate to improve Hong Kong ’s legal system and enforcement mechanism in safeguarding national security and to protect "one country, two systems."

The statement stated that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" will not affect the normal enjoyment and exercise of the statutory rights and freedoms of the vast majority of law-abiding citizens, and appealed to the citizens to support legislation.
