The National People's Congress formulates the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" and incorporates the form of Annex III of the Basic Law for direct implementation in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong breeds, and the public must face the problem squarely. The government does not rule out raising the level of terrorist threats.

Demonstrations and conflicts in Hong Kong have continued in the past year. Officials have linked them to "local terrorism" in recent months. (Profile picture)

Light up the "terrorist activity" alert

Li Jiachao pointed out that there have been more than a dozen cases involving explosives and dangerous goods since last year, and various signs show that "native terrorism" is breeding in Hong Kong. He pointed out that the police seized different types of explosives and firearms in the past, saying that this is a weapon commonly used in foreign terrorist attacks, including the 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing in Bangkok, Thailand, and the 2016 Brussels Airport and Metro serial bombings in Belgium. He pointed out that the bomb will not recognize people. Once the explosion will kill people or cause serious physical disability, the building will also be seriously damaged.

Li Jiachao mentioned that in the past year, there have been more and more risks in Hong Kong that have endangered national security. Hong Kong, a safe city, has become more alert to terrorist activities. The government is closely examining the situation and does not rule out raising the level of terrorist threats. Once a terrorist attack occurs or the threat level increases, the police are likely to block high-risk locations, high-profile patrols, search for personal belongings, etc. The public must cooperate to ensure their own and social safety. He also pointed out that fighting against terrorism is a matter for the whole people. The police, disciplinary forces and relevant government departments have been asked to increase internal preparations, strengthen intelligence collection, and review counter-terrorism response plans, especially for public transportation facilities and entry and exit ports.

Regarding the decision of the National People's Congress, Li Jiachao said that he would "fully support" the establishment and improvement of the Hong Kong SAR's legal system and enforcement mechanism at the national level to maintain national security. It is conducive to the establishment of a safe and stable city in Hong Kong, without affecting the legal freedom and rights and interests of Hong Kong residents, while protecting the lives and property of Hong Kong residents and ensuring the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.
