Last update date: 2020-06-19 09:53The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress held a meeting for three consecutive days starting from yesterday (18th), and the agenda suddenly joined in the consideration of the draft "National Security Law of the Minato City". One of the crimes was "collusion of foreign or foreign forces", which was different from the decision passed at the National People's Congress in May, when the wording was "intervention of foreign and foreign forces."
Ye Guoqian, a representative of the Minato People's Congress and a member of the Executive Council, did not agree that this change was aimed at targeting people in the country, because the legislation is aimed at maintaining national security. Those involved in illegal acts are punished." We believe that if it is not a crime to verbally require foreign sanctions on Hong Kong, it is not a crime. Actual action must be taken to promote foreign sanctions on Hong Kong.
Ye Guoqian estimated that the National Security Law of the Port Area is already imperative. He believes that the specific draft provisions will be released in a short time. He estimates that he has the greatest chance to convene a special meeting at the end of this month or early July to review the provisions in detail.

Ye Guoqian said today (19th) that the wording of "intervention" changed to "collusion" was not surprising, because foreign forces must intervene in Hong Kong's local affairs to find "agents", which must involve locals. He did not agree that this change was aimed at targeting people in the country, because the legislation is aimed at safeguarding national security. "Foreign countries must be the lead, and intervention must be through internal. The legislation is to punish those involved in illegal acts from this perspective. "
With a purpose in mind, it is said that it would hurt Hong Kong or violate the law
As for the definition of "collusion" behavior, Ye Guoqian pointed out that if only foreigners are required to punish Hong Kong verbally, it is believed that it is not a crime. Actual actions must be taken to promote foreign sanctions against Hong Kong. When asked whether meeting with foreign dignitaries is "promoting", he said that Legislative Council members and guild members also often contact foreign journalists and consuls. It is normal to exchange views and comment on the situation in Hong Kong. "But if there is a purpose to speak of clearly hurting Hong Kong in some way, and inducing foreign intervention, this one is easy to commit (illegal)."
Ye Guoqian said that it is not uncommon for people to suddenly join the agenda at the NPC Standing Committee meeting. Since the National People's Congress has passed legislation authorizing the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on May 28, the Legal Work Committee is currently explaining the bill to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
Maximum chance to convene a special meeting at the end of this month or early July to review the provisions in detail
Ye Guoqian pointed out that the establishment of a national security law in the port area is already imperative, and he believes that specific draft provisions will be released in a short time. He estimates that he has the greatest chance to convene a special meeting at the end of this month or early July to review the provisions in detail, but no news has been received so far. At this meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, no representative of the Minato District People's Congress was present. Ye Guoqian revealed that many deputies of the Minato District People's Congress have expressed their hope that they will be able to attend the meeting when they consider the bill.
