The Secretary for Justice, Zheng Ruozhen, fell and was injured while surrounded by demonstrators in London on November 14. He was arranged to fly to Beijing by the Chinese Embassy in early December and returned to Hong Kong after entering the hospital for examination. There have been many remarks about the incident, including allegations that Zheng Ruozhen once submitted his resignation to Beijing, but was forced to stay in office.

Zheng Ruohuan issued a statement today (12th), stating that it is irresponsible to resign in the face of difficulties, and that speculations such as "forced retention" are completely out of nothing.

Earlier reports said that Zheng Ruozhen had offered to resign. She stated that she had denied it and stressed that the report had no factual basis. She also reiterated that she would not resign. Zheng Ruoyi pointed out that when she agreed to the appointment, she knew that the work was challenging, and now she was irresponsible to resign in the face of difficult circumstances.

Tu Jinshen worried about the impact of pressure on the Department of Justice

Many people questioned this incident. Tu Jinshen, a member of the Democratic Party ’s legislative council, also said that the incident was unusual and that there were doubts that Zheng Ruozhen may not want to stay in office. He was worried that under pressure, there might be an opportunity to affect the Secretary ’s power Judgment, "selective prosecution", has a very dangerous impact on Hong Kong's rule of law and system, and international confidence in Hong Kong as an arbitration and financial center.

Tu Jinshen questioned the arrangements for flying to Beijing before returning to Hong Kong, and whether the medical standards of London and Hong Kong were not as good as those of Beijing, and whether Zheng Ruo's injury had to go to Beijing to be cured. Tu also pointed out that he knew Zheng had no family in Beijing to take care of him, but arranged for her to go to Beijing and said, "I'm afraid she's alone, I don't know what to do." So she sent someone to accompany her, which is illogical.
