The National People's Congress has enacted the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" and incorporated it into Annex III of the Basic Law in the form of a national law, which is directly implemented in Hong Kong and has aroused the concern of Hong Kong and the international community. Chief Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong said that citizens have always been the beneficiaries of national security, and Hong Kong is no exception; the current international situation is becoming more and more complicated. As a special economic zone, Hong Kong faces "Hong Kong independence" and "self-determination" internally Organizations and other organizations openly challenge the power of the central government and the SAR government, and must resist the intensification of external forces to intervene in Hong Kong affairs. In addition, the current legal system and enforcement mechanism for maintaining national security in Hong Kong are incomplete, and it has become a void of national security risks.

He pointed out that Hong Kong is closely connected with the motherland and is a community of destiny, capable, determined and confident to resist unreasonable intimidation and fear of sanctions and threats from foreign countries.

Zhang Jianzong's blog today (31st), titled "From long-term" non-defense "to long-term security", talked about the "National Security Law" included in Annex 3 of the Basic Law. He opened the article and asked the public: "You will make the following four Behaviors and activities? One is to split the country, the other is to subvert the state power, the third is to organize terrorist activities, and the fourth is the activities of foreign and foreign forces to intervene in the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. "He pointed out that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens and foreign investors Of course "definitely not", so don't worry about national security legislation.

He pointed out that national security is the foundation of a country's security. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inseparable part of the People ’s Republic of China. Safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests is the constitutional responsibility of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Legislation can ensure the stability of “one country, two systems” and maintain Hong Kong ’s long-term prosperity and stability; while citizens are always national security For the beneficiaries, the current international situation is becoming more and more complicated. As a special economic zone, Hong Kong internally faces "Hong Kong independence", "self-determination" and other organizations to openly challenge the power of the central government and the SAR government, and externally must resist the intensified external forces. Hong Kong affairs, coupled with the fact that Hong Kong ’s current legal system and enforcement mechanism for maintaining national security are incomplete, are virtually useless and become a gap in national security risks.

Zhang Jianzong pointed out that in the past week, the Chief Executive, he, and a number of bureau chiefs respectively made clear statements in response to the signature activities in support of national security legislation. (Photo of the Chief Secretary for Administration's blog)
