The Third Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress opened this morning (22nd). The agenda includes consideration of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law." The draft mainly targets four types of behaviors, including subversion of state power, secession of the country, terrorist activities, and interference by external forces.

Wang Chen, deputy chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said in the introduction of the draft that due to anti-China chaos in Hong Kong and the interference of external hostility, the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law has been set back in 2003 and the law has been stigmatized and demonized by ulterior motives in Hong Kong There is a risk of being put on hold for a long time, and it is necessary to take strong measures to prevent and punish it according to law.

Special zone must carry out national security promotion education

[1136] There are seven paragraphs in the draft, of which the fifth paragraph states that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should establish and improve institutions and enforcement mechanisms to maintain national security, strengthen law enforcement forces, and strengthen national security enforcement. The relevant authorities of the central government for the maintenance of national security shall establish institutions in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as necessary to perform their duties related to the maintenance of national security.

In addition, the Chief Executive should regularly submit reports to the Central People's Government on the situation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region performing its duties of maintaining national security, conducting national security promotion education, and prohibiting acts that endanger national security according to law.

Rebuke external forces to support Hong Kong's anti-China forces

Wang Chen pointed out that "one country, two systems" encountered new situations and new risks in the course of Hong Kong's practice. Hong Kong's national security risks have become increasingly prominent. Especially since the storm of last year's amendments, the "anti-China chaos port" forces advocated independence. Blatantly defaced the national flag and national emblem, besieged the central Hong Kong institutions, violently opposed the law enforcement by the police, and paralyzed the government legislature.

Wang Chen said that in recent years, external forces have supported Hong Kong ’s anti-China chaotic Hong Kong forces. The relevant behaviors seriously challenge the “one country, two systems” principle and seriously endanger national sovereignty. Therefore, effective measures must be taken to prevent and punish the law.

The full name of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" is "Decision of the National People's Congress on Establishing and Improving the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to Maintain National Security (Draft)". It is understood that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has consulted the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee many times. Opinions have been brewed since the storm broke out last year.

As for Article 23 of the Basic Law, sources said that the Hong Kong Government still needs legislation.
