The anti-revision demonstrations have not subsided for more than half a year. Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e reported to President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Keqiang today (16th) respectively. Among them, Xi Jinping praised Lin Zheng Yue'e for his courage and commitment during the extraordinary period. The central government is fully affirmed, and We firmly support Lin Zheng in leading the SAR government to govern according to law, and firmly support the police to strictly enforce the law.

Lin Zhengyue met with the media to summarize her schedule at the Beijing Office in the evening. She thanked the leaders for affirming the work of the SAR government and the government will continue to stop the violence. When asked about the leader ’s emphasis on maintaining national security, whether the Hong Kong government has pressure on Article 23 of the Basic Law, Lin Zheng pointed out that Article 23 is a constitutional responsibility, but it needs to review the situation and the most important thing is to suppress violence.

In her opening speech, Lin Zhengyue stated that the background of her job description this time is different from that of previous years because of the turbulence brought about by the amended legislation and the most severe and complicated situation since the reunification. She and the leaders reported on the details of Hong Kong and the economic and livelihood impacts. She mentioned that violence had subsided recently, but it still happened. She thanked the two leaders for their full affirmation of their work and reiterated that the most important task at present is to stop violence and unrest in accordance with the law, adhere to the principle of one country, two systems, and maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.

When asked whether Xi Jinping had openly supported the police in law enforcement, would he further encourage the police to toughen the law enforcement in the future, or would he be "flexible and flexible?" Lin Zheng pointed out that Xi Jinping supported police's strict law enforcement, which was also mentioned in November in Brazil. She believes that the actual implementation of "strict law enforcement" is determined by law enforcement departments. Even as the Chief Executive, she will not instruct the law enforcement of each demonstration. She also pointed out that the Hong Kong Police Force enjoys an international reputation for civilized restraint. During the six-month violent incident, the Police Force also acted in accordance with the laws and the guidelines of the Police Force.

Regarding President Xi Jinping's praise for her courage and commitment in extraordinary times, Lin Zhengyue said she was "inspired."

As for the candidates for the Independent Review Committee, Lam Cheng pointed out that some individuals may be worried about being bottomed out, but the work of the Committee is important to the development of Hong Kong and I am confident that we can find suitable candidates.
