The current version is "the mildest, the most basic, the minimum"
Wang Zhenmin pointed out that since Hong Kong’s return to China, people have often “disguised” the central government. From the interpretation of laws, the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law, national education, universal suffrage issues, and the turmoil of last year’s amendments, all kinds of lies and rumors can be said to have reached the "climax" It can be written as a "wonderful book". Later, it turned out to be a lie. Today Hong Kong is still the most free place in the world. He also said that the losses caused by these lies, especially for young people, are already irreversible.
Wang Zhenmin mentioned that some people said that the central government's promotion of national security laws is "one country, one system." He pointed out that on the issue of national security, the world is one country, one system, whether it is a federal system or a unitary system. Hong Kong's one country, two systems are "absolutely exceptional." Before the reunification, the political department of the Hong Kong Police Force also directly belonged to the United Kingdom. Wang Zhenmin pointed out that on the issue of national security, the central government naturally has the right to implement one country, one system. However, he believes that if all the codes of mainland China are implemented in Hong Kong, then it is one country, one system. He emphasized that the main responsibility for maintaining national security in Hong Kong is in the SAR, and the role of the central government is to lead and supervise.
He mentioned that the problems to be solved by the National Security Law are that some Basic Laws have not been fully resolved and are not very clearly stipulated. The NPC’s decision is to develop and improve the Basic Law. At the same time, because of the trust in the Special Zone, the main responsibility for implementation is handed over to the Special Zone. Hong Kong must be worthy of the "trust, trust and love" of the central government. Wang Zhenmin also pointed out that at present, only Hong Kong has no perfect national security laws. Legislation is to fill in the gaps. The current version is already the "modest, most basic, and minimum" legislation. If this is not acceptable, it is better to use the national security of other countries Use it.
