After the "National Security Act of the Port Area" came into effect, the National Security Agency and the National Security Division of the Police Department were established one after another. The National Security Council also held its first meeting on Monday (6th), meaning that the configuration of the national security field was in place. For Hong Kong, which has been tossing for a year, this may be an opportunity to rebuild public order. However, it must be noted that to achieve long-term peace and stability, legal means alone are not sufficient. The key is to make the public feel that this home can still live in peace. This tests whether the governance team has consciousness and wrist.

The central government took the initiative to formulate the "National Security Law for the Port Area" and took the position of a hard bridge and a hard horse. The main reason is that the Hong Kong government has been unable to make independent legislation for 23 years, which is essentially a special task. Now that the legislation has come to an end, it is time for us to return to the principle of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy", make good use of the autonomy given to Hong Kong by "one country, two systems", and solve the economic and livelihood problems through drastic reforms. But the question is, have all sectors of society, including the Hong Kong Government, reached consensus on this? The answer is clearly no-so far, not only have we not seen reform consensus, let alone practice consensus.

Comprehensive reform and practice of justice

Taking the housing problem, which is regarded as a top priority, as an example, progress seems to be quite slow. As far as the government holding the "right to serve" is concerned, Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yuee threatened to reclaim land as early as last October's Policy Address, but so far, the outside world has not seen a clear land resumption plan; For the majority of the Hong Kong establishment, which is also represented in the National People's Congress, it seems that they did not urge the Hong Kong government to speed up land resumption in the New Territories. As far as pan-popularism is concerned, their minds are still full of ideological prejudices and empty talk about ideas, and they can't see real achievements in the field of people's livelihood before they can bring fairness and justice.

Hong Kong has spent too much time, and the government has to bear the greatest responsibility for this, because it never knows how to make good use of the advantages of executive leadership, to properly plan for the cause of people's livelihood in Hong Kong, but it is caught in the cognitive dilemma of inaction. The Central Government formulated the National Security Law for Hong Kong. As a result, some public opinion questioned Hong Kong’s loss of "one country, two systems". Does the Hong Kong Government intend to continue to do nothing in terms of economy and people's livelihood, and ask the Central Government to "help you bury it"? We do not want this to happen, because it will inevitably have a negative impact on "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy", and making "one country, two systems" stable and stable is far from a luxury talk.
