Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, delivered a speech on the issue of Hong Kong's national security for nearly an hour. He said that when it was time to "open the window and speak brightly", he believed that Hong Kong's main problem was not social issues such as economics, people's livelihood or class solidification, but political issues. It bombarded Hong Kong's deliberately created political opposition between anti-China and anti-communist forces. "Their goal is not just to mess up Hong Kong and seize power in Hong Kong, but also to overthrow the state power and subvert the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics."
In his speech, Zhang Xiaoming addressed several social phenomena in Hong Kong, including difficulties in government administration, lack of security in national security, and difficulty in promoting national education, negative media coverage of the country, and contradictions between China and Hong Kong. He urged Hong Kong people to consider returning after 2047, "Hong Kong What kind of record should we take to obtain the new authorization of the National People's Congress and the people it represents on that occasion?"
Zhang Xiaoming denounced the "opposition" and the forces behind it as an attempt to turn Hong Kong into an independent or semi-independent political entity and a bridgehead for external forces to fight against China and the Communist Party. (Photographed by O'Gallery)
Rebuke the opposition's attempts to turn Hong Kong into a bridgehead for anti-China and anti-communism
Zhang Xiaoming mentioned that the calculation of "one country, two systems" has entered the mid-term in terms of 50 years. Just like any new thing, the practice of "one country, two systems" encountered some roadblocks, encountered some challenges, and revealed in the process of exploring and progressing. There are some problems; including the limitations of the top-level system design and the insufficiency of practical work, there are many areas that are worth reflecting on and improving, especially the problems of governance and popularism, etc., which are so prominent that many well-known international scholars have raised Hong Kong needs a "second return".
Zhang Xiaoming believes that the main problem in Hong Kong is not an economic problem, nor a livelihood problem such as housing employment that plagues the grassroots, or a social problem such as the solidification of interest classes and the difficulty of upward mobility of young people. It is a political problem. "It is reflected in how to build a There are serious differences or even opposites on the fundamental issue of Hong Kong."
Zhang Xiaoming said that the opposition and the forces behind it are trying to turn Hong Kong into an independent or semi-independent political entity, a bridgehead for external forces against China and anti-communism, and a chess piece for external forces to contain and suppress China's development. This is affecting "one country, two systems." The main contradiction in implementing and maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability in a comprehensive and accurate manner.

[Thirty Years of the Basic Law] The government holds an online seminar on Monday
Refers to the opposition’s goal of overthrowing the country’s political power
He said that from the perspective of the phenomenon, Hong Kong society is highly politicized, pan-politicized, and populist. The government is blamed for governance. National security is undefended. National education is difficult to implement. It is full of various negative reports about the country and school exam questions. The absurdity, the various remarks and actions of isolation between Hong Kong and the mainland, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was resisted. "The essence of this is the deliberate political opposition created by anti-China and anti-communist forces inside and outside Hong Kong. Their goal is not just to disrupt Hong Kong. Seizing power in Hong Kong changes, and it is necessary to overthrow the state power and subvert the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics."
Zhang Xiaoming pointed out that some people clamored for Hong Kong to be a "Trojan horse" embedded in China in publicly published articles. Some people vowed to "fight for the United States." In addition, US Secretary of State Pompeo said in a statement last month that "the United States once I hope that free and prosperous Hong Kong can provide an example for authoritarian China." It can be seen that the judgment mentioned above is not conjecture.
Zhang Xiaoming said that now is the time to open the window to speak brightly and utter a word, "Only by clarifying the essence of the Hong Kong issue, refraining from medical treatment, and dare to face the main contradictions and problems that exist, it is possible to find the correct cure. "

Hong Kong will only fall into a vicious circle if it rushes to implement "general universal suffrage"
Zhang Xiaoming said that this time the Central Government has taken decisive measures to establish and improve Hong Kong’s national security legal system and enforcement mechanism at the national level. It shows the determination and will to chaos anyway, and adopts a solution to both the symptoms and the root cause. The purpose is to maintain national security. The purpose of ensuring that "one country, two systems" goes far is also to help Hong Kong get out of the predicament and chaos as soon as possible.
He believes that if the situation in Hong Kong is allowed to develop under the leadership of some opposition parties and external forces, and even follow their tone, the path they devise, and seek a way out by rushing to implement the so-called "true universal suffrage", then Hong Kong can only It will fall into a vicious circle, society will become more and more divided, and it will become more and more opposed to the country. Not only will prosperity and stability be unsustainable, but "one country, two systems" may also be ruined by them.
He specifically mentioned that many people in the society are already looking forward to the future and destiny of "one country, two systems" after 2047, and think that everyone really needs to think about, "What kind of record should Hong Kong take to obtain the National People's Congress and the people it represents? New license?"
