The National Security Act of the Minato District came into effect at the end of last month, causing Hong Kong people to worry. Liang Zhenying, the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Letter to Hong Kong" that the National Security Law legislation has a legal basis, and criticized some people for "abusing a high degree of autonomy" and allowing Hong Kong to become a base for subversion, which is harmful to national security and the country. Threat to Hong Kong's sovereignty.

Liang Zhenying believes that one country, two systems are still functioning well, and Hong Kong people have both rights and freedoms. He believes that if the Central Government has deliberately ignored one country, two systems, it can directly apply the national security laws of the Mainland of China to Hong Kong, without the need for additional legislation, and calls on everyone to hear from Western politicians that "one country, two systems are dead." They should think carefully about whether this statement is true.

He also pointed out that a high degree of autonomy does not mean full autonomy, and Article 18 of the Basic Law has also stipulated that the national laws in Annex III can be "published or implemented by legislation" in Hong Kong, which has a legal basis and does not violate the "Sino-British Joint Statement; in 2003, the Hong Kong government tried to legislate on Article 23 of the Basic Law and fulfilled its constitutional responsibilities, but it eventually failed. Over the years, pan-democrats have also continuously obstructed the relevant work of the government. Liang Zhenying pointed out that the democrats often said that they could not accept 23 pieces of legislation before universal suffrage. However, during his tenure as chief executive, he proposed political reforms, but the democrats insisted on the nomination of citizens as a substitute for the nomination committee prescribed in the Basic Law, and finally pulled down.

Liang Zhenying pointed out that Hong Kong is regarded as an "abuse of a high degree of autonomy", which poses a threat to national security and national sovereignty over Hong Kong, making Hong Kong a base for subverting the country. He pointed out that Hong Kong is a city rather than a country, but the chief executive has more power than the mayors of London, Tokyo, and New York. The central government delegates power by appointing the Chief Executive who is deemed appropriate. The power of the chief executive is from voters in Hong Kong The broad power of the Chief Executive and the highly autonomous Central Government of Hong Kong are combined. He criticized the democrats for their intention to remove the central government from this "formula" while maintaining the power of the Chief Executive. He described the practice as not democratic and split under any definition.

After the National Security Law came into effect, Liang Zhenying pointed out that the opposition was as noisy as before, and that the Apple Daily was anti-China as before. He also satirized that Kwong Jun-woo, a member of the Democratic Legislative Council, earlier rebuffed tens of millions of dollars to buy a house. Half of the expenditure came from the salary of the legislator for four years, describing the salary as "a good use."
