Last update date: 2020-06-22 17:45Xia Baolong, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, met with the chairman of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, Liang Junyan, in Shenzhen on Sunday (21st) to listen to the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law". The next day (22nd), Liang Junyan claimed to express his views to the other party in a "private identity". This kind of statement is really ridiculous. The top person in charge of the legislature of the SAR in a formal capacity reflects the opinions of the officials in charge of Hong Kong and Macao affairs. It is indeed a matter of responsibility, and it must not be shrunk in a so-called "private identity".
Since the National People's Congress decided to formulate the "National Security Law of the Hong Kong District", there have been many discussions in Hong Kong, and after the "Xinhua News Agency" recently announced the draft of the National Security Law, the public hopes for the responsibility and cases of the Hong Kong Government and the "National Security Office in Hong Kong" after the legislation. Learn more about jurisdiction, law application and procedures. Although Liang Junyan revealed that different parties and societies expressed different opinions, including pros and cons, during the meeting, he discussed with the director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office in a "private identity", which gave people a lack of transparency and even a "black box" impression. It will not help to increase Hong Kong people's objective understanding of national security laws, and it will even lead the central government to injustice.
In fact, as the chairman of the Legislative Council, Liang Junyan has certain responsibilities for Hong Kong’s legislative matters and should be quite familiar with them. The Director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office listened to his opinion precisely because he is the chairman of the Legislative Council. Claiming to be a "private identity", does he think that if he is not the chairman of the Legislative Council, Xia Baolong will still invite him to meet and listen to opinions?
Liang Junyan's claim of "private identity" inevitably makes him think that he is afraid of things and does not want to respond more to politically sensitive issues of national security law. But if this is the case, this is exactly how he dared not take responsibility. In fact, his lack of ability is not new. For example, he did not resolve the internal deadlock in a decisive manner earlier. It was not until the "Two Offices" uttered his voice that he could understand it, giving people an incompetent impression. If Hong Kong wants to establish a high-quality discussion culture, high-level political figures are indispensable. As the chairman of the Legislative Council, Liang Junyan's importance in politics is self-evident. It's just that he can't even be sure of who he should meet in any identity. The establishment of a high-quality discussion culture is far from clear.
