Suspected of requesting foreign intervention in Hong Kong affairs Liu: Support China's decisive countermeasures

He was questioned by the Returning Officer that asking foreign countries to impose sanctions on Hong Kong and allow foreign countries to interfere in Hong Kong's internal affairs does not meet the requirements of upholding the Basic Law and guaranteeing allegiance to Hong Kong. Liu replied that he resolutely opposes any foreign forces' interference in China's internal affairs. If this happens, he supports the Chinese government to take decisive countermeasures.

He also explained that his words and deeds in response to the human rights situation in Hong Kong are based on the protection of the basic human rights and freedoms conferred by Hong Kong’s Basic Law. The public meeting for international policies on Hong Kong initiated by him was approved by the police with a no-objection notice. It can be seen that the Commissioner of Police also agreed that his words and deeds did not violate any laws of the time.

He also pointed out that the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act" of the United States originated from the "US-Hong Kong Policy Act", which has been introduced since 2014 and has been legislated after several amendments. He has never played any role during this period. And even if the US government needs to take some measures in accordance with the laws of that country, the target should be limited to those who violate the Basic Law and seriously violate human rights. He firmly believes that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government and its officials absolutely support the Basic Law and will not deliberately commit any acts that violate the basic rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents and will not be affected by such measures.

As for whether to support "35+", Liu Wei-kuang said that if he is elected to the Legislative Council, he will take public interest as the primary consideration, including but not limited to the overall consideration based on the government’s handling of citizens’ demands, other government policies, and the performance of government officials. , To decide how to exercise the above powers (including approving or vetoing any bills and appropriations).

Acknowledging that the Hong Kong government must fulfill its constitutional responsibility

for safeguarding national security. As for being questioned and publicly opposing the National Security Act, it is tantamount to opposing the Hong Kong government's constitutional responsibility for safeguarding national security. Liu Yingkuang disagrees, saying that she agrees that the Hong Kong government must fulfill its constitutional responsibility. The reason for opposing the National Security Law is that the SAR government has failed to relieve the public’s concern that some provisions of the Minato National Security Law may conflict with other provisions of the Basic Law. It believes that the central government and the SAR government should consult all sectors of Hong Kong extensively before making legislation. Completely dispel public doubts.
