The anti-revision laws continued to fail for nearly a year, and the demonstrations made a comeback after the epidemic slowed. With the two drafts of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" and the "National Anthem Law", yesterday (28th) successively in the National People's Congress and The passage of the Legislative Council not only caused Hong Kong people to worry, but also aroused international attention.

At 6 o'clock this morning (29th), the Information Services Department published an open letter from the Chief Executive, Lin Cheng Yuee, to the people of Hong Kong, mentioning that Hong Kong has the unique advantages of "one country, two systems", but society has suffered from trauma and violent violence has escalated in the past year Constitutes a risk of terrorism. Hong Kong has become a gap in national security. However, it has not yet been able to legislate to prohibit acts that endanger national security according to Article 23 of the Basic Law. The NPC ’s decision is to protect the vast majority of citizens. Be reasonable and reasonable, and appeal to the public to understand and firmly support.

Lin Zhengyue published a letter to all citizens in the newspaper today (May 29).

Dear Hong Kong citizens:

   Under the Lion Rock, we are in the same boat together, letting go of contradictions and pursuing ideals together is our cherished Hong Kong; since the return, Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the People ’s Republic of China that enjoys a high degree of autonomy and is directly under the Central People ’s Government. It has the unique characteristics of "one country, two systems" Advantage.

   In the past year, Hong Kong society has been traumatized. The violence of the thugs has escalated. The possession of firearms and ammunition and the manufacture of explosives pose a risk of terrorism. Opposition forces and organizations that advocate "Hong Kong independence" and "self-determination" openly challenge the power of the central and SAR governments, begging foreign forces to intervene in Hong Kong's affairs and even sanctions, regardless of the interests of the country and Hong Kong people. At the same time, external forces have stepped up their involvement in Hong Kong affairs, passed laws on Hong Kong, and blatantly beautified the illegal activities of radicals, seriously endangering national sovereignty security and development interests. Hong Kong has become a gap in national security, and its own prosperity and stability are also at stake.

   It is a pity that the current legal system and enforcement mechanism for maintaining national security in Hong Kong is not complete, even in a state of "non-defense"; after 23 years of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, it has still failed to legislate itself in accordance with Article 23 of the Basic Law Acts that endanger national security. With the current political situation and social situation, it will be difficult for the executive and legislative bodies of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to complete the legislative work to maintain national security within a visible time. Now the National People ’s Congress, in accordance with the Constitution of the People ’s Republic of China and the Basic Law, establishes and improves the legal system and enforcement mechanism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region from the national level to safeguard national security. And the care for the people of Hong Kong. Legislation is both necessary and urgent, and its constitutional, legal, plausible and reasonable foundation is beyond doubt.

   The purpose of the legislation is to effectively prevent, stop and punish any acts and activities that severely endanger national security, such as splitting the country, subverting state power, and organizing terrorist activities, as well as activities of foreign and foreign forces interfering in the affairs of the Hong Kong SAR. The crackdown is on a very small number of illegal and criminal acts and activities, protecting the lives and property, basic rights and freedoms of the vast majority of citizens. Citizens can continue to enjoy freedom of speech, news, assembly, demonstration, march, entry and exit in accordance with the law. Any relevant law enforcement must strictly comply with the law, comply with statutory authority, and follow statutory procedures.

   Dear citizens, every country needs laws to safeguard national security in order to ensure long-term stability and stability of the people ’s lives. Now the Central Government formulates laws to safeguard the national security of the SAR in order to allow Hong Kong society to return to stability at an early date, regain economic and livelihood development, and get out of the predicament.

   I call on everyone to fully understand and firmly support the "Decision" adopted by the National People's Congress!
