Ye Liu Shuyi, chairman of the New Democratic Party and a member of the Executive Council, mentioned at the commercial TV show that I believe that the current crisis of confidence is only "short-term fluctuations", and even if the United States wants to sanction Hong Kong officials, it will not have a big impact, because there are not many SAR officials in the United States. assets.

No retrospective period
Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that the law will only target a very small number of people who committed the specified four acts. She cited, for example, the past June 4th mourning event. Even though the police did not approve, but the participants dispersed peacefully without blocking the road, the police did not intervene as much as possible. She pointed out: "Mourning the dead, is there a problem?"
Ye Liu said that the United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Regulations, which she took effect in Hong Kong as the Director of the Security Bureau, only targeted terrorist organizations listed in the UN Security Council and could not ban new types of online organizations.

She also believes that there will be no retrospective period for the National Security Act of the Minato City, because according to the provisions of international conventions, there will be no retrospective period for criminal offences;
As to whether the slogan "Hong Kong Independence" after the legislation will break the law, Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that ordinary statutory crimes have high requirements, and the prosecution must prove the defendant's criminal intentions and have no reasonable doubts.

It is expected that it will be difficult for the UK to accept a large number of Hong Kong
After the National People’s Congress passed the National Security Law of the Hong Kong District, it caused a rebound in the international community. Ye Liu Shuyi believed that short-term panic is normal, but Hong Kong has a common law foundation, and is also a member of many international organizations, including as a member of the WTO. Depending on how Hong Kong strives to consolidate its position as an international financial center, it also points out that not many officials own US assets, and they do not suffer much if they do not go to the United States. She agreed that the sooner the details of the National Security Law were published, the better, and the instability was eliminated.
Regarding the intention of the United Kingdom to extend the duration of stay of British National Overseas Passport (BNO) holders to 12 months, Ye Liu Shuyi believes that the British side is mainly a gesture and it is difficult to accept a large number of Hong Kong people. Foreign politicians always have their own interests to consider. Hong Kong people are "no naive" and believe in the British promise.
At present, Hong Kong has returned for 23 years, and there are still no democratic elections, which is considered to be the cause of today's political conflicts. Ye Liu questioned why, when the United States invited Hong Kong parliamentarians to the United States, many of them were members of the functional constituency: "Don't see Qu Dao invite Zhu Kaidi again?" She agreed that public opinion is important, but that professional knowledge is also very important. "A parliament, two members know finance, one (financial services sector) Zhang Huafeng, and one (accounting sector) Liang Jichang, for an international financial center, enough?"
