Last update date: 2020-05-24 12:20Last week, the National People's Congress proposed that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" be included in Annex III of the Basic Law for implementation in Hong Kong, which attracted widespread attention.
In 2003, the new Democratic Party Chairman Ye Liu Shuyi, the 23rd legislative promoter and then the Secretary of the Security Bureau, said today (24th) on the wireless program "Speak Clearly" that it would be most desirable if Hong Kong people could legislate on their own because of greater transparency. She also admitted that the current situation is worse than that of the past, but the controversial legislation has not had the best time. Hong Kong has experienced turbulence in the past year. I believe the Central People's Congress and the National People's Congress are desperate to fight.
She believes that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" is only aimed at Hong Kong independence and revolutionary advocates planning organizational activities. It is not illegal for citizens to simply shout slogans.
Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that it is best if Hong Kong people can successfully legislate in 2003, because of the high transparency, it is also in line with the common law of Hong Kong, and there will be public consultation, "It will be the most ideal." Was asked whether it was fair? She was not sure, but she said that its version was also limited in that year. It did not cover the crime of subverting the state power and the crime of splitting the country. It may not be in line with the situation of social events last year.
There is no
such thing as the best time to establish a controversial law. She admits that the current situation is worse than in 2003. Hong Kong has experienced one year of turmoil and foreign intimidation sanctions. However, she believes that there is no such thing as the best time to establish a controversial law. , "What's the best time? Don't get it." She continued that when dealing with the National Security Law, it was only a peaceful protest. However, to this day, violence continues, people are constantly shouting for democratic self-determination, waving foreign flags, etc., to the country. The threat is very great. She emphasized that the Central People's Congress and the National People's Congress are really forced to fight. The ordinance has not been formally drafted. She believes that mainland experts are familiar with Hong Kong ’s common law, but because the mainland ’s legislation is more principled and general, the common law needs to be clearly stated. She believes that the NPC Standing Committee will consult local experts when drafting.
The scope of conviction need not only refer to violence
She also mentioned that the scope of convictions covered does not need to refer only to violence, she refers to Australia as an example. She believes that endangering financial disruption, biological attacks, spreading false news, attacking the network, etc. can also be considered as endangering national security. "But it is difficult to have a regulation to anticipate all environments."
I was asked if I would worry about the involvement of the establishment system? She pointed out that to support the country to maintain national security, she has made psychological preparations for sacrifice. She also said that many Hong Kong people expressed concern about foreign divestment, fear of being prosecuted, and even considered immigration. She pointed out that Hong Kong people returned in 1997, and June 4th also had related considerations, "but many people have returned after they left." She believes that Hong Kong has many advantages and has the support of the country. I believe that even if there is a response, it is within the expectation that the country has the ability to restore growth to Hong Kong.
Will dissatisfaction go underground and Hong Kong people lose confidence in the government? She pointed out that, as Deputy Prime Minister Han Zheng said, I believe very few Hong Kong people will be affected, because the law only targets Hong Kong independence people, and the rest of the public can rule out, "Many people know that it is impossible, only a few people are more misleading than others," she thinks Hong Kong needs to restructure the land, housing and education before it can start again and restore public confidence.
Calling the slogan is no problem unless it is an organized event
As for how to restore Hong Kong people's confidence in one country, two systems? She explained that one country, two systems will remain unchanged, and the Basic Law guarantees the freedom of Hong Kong people. There is no problem in writing articles and calling for slogans, except for organized activities. She also pointed out, "It is purely a slogan, which is different from the online promotion", which depends on the nature of the behavior and cannot be generalized. She mentioned that in the past year, some people have spread their opinions online. Last year, some people occupied the Legislative Council, threw gas bombs at the judiciary, attacked the police, and so on, to subvert the Hong Kong government.
She also pointed out that it is believed that those who really conspire to "engage in Hong Kong independence" are a minority, but the people have the power to brainwash and penetrate and have to deal with it. She also said that the United States also has strict handling of infiltration activities. She emphasized that the Hong Kong version of the national law will not poison the minds of young people. "In fact, it protects most people."
Throwing debris from the No. 2 Bridge during the occurrence of local terrorist activities is also an example
Is there no other way? Mr. Ye said that Hong Kong ’s laws and regulations are incomplete, lack of crimes of subverting state power and splitting the country, and local terrorist activities have also occurred in Hong Kong, including the discovery of high-power explosives and the throwing of debris from the CUHK Bridge 2.
