The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress yesterday issued a "Decision" on the qualifications of the Legislative Council, which stipulates that activities such as promoting or supporting "Hong Kong independence" claims, seeking foreign or foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, etc., will immediately lose members of the Legislative Council once determined by law. qualifications.

The Hong Kong government immediately announced the qualifications of 4 pro-democracy members and 15 pro-democracy members in protest.

Representatives of the Hong Kong People's Congress held a press conference at 3 pm today to support the decision of the People's Congress.

Member of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Tan Yaozong was asked if the Hong Kong government swears to require amendments to local laws in the future under Article 104 of the Basic Law, whether it should include district board members. Supporting the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR, I believe that the Hong Kong Government includes district board members in the amendment of the legislation is a more comprehensive approach.

As for the penalties for violating the oath requirement, we need to discuss it again.

Tan Huizhu, deputy director of the Basic Law Committee, said that the decision of the National People's Congress does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong judiciary. If someone tries to review the decision of the National People's Congress, the court will not accept it. If the chief executive's decision is challenged, the government has a good chance of winning the case.

Tan Yaozong said in his speech that when the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress announced the decision to extend the term of the Sixth Legislative Council on August 11, he believed that it was logically problematic and contradictory to let four DQ members extend their posts.

He emphasized that at present, the National People's Congress has determined that 4 members have been disqualified as members of the Diet. There is a legal basis to make the government's implementation clearer.

As for whether the pan-democratic legislator who proposed the general remarks can re-elect in the future, Tam Yiu-chung described the pan-democratic legislators as "nothing", thinking that they have to persuade the Returning Officer why they chose to leave the Legislative Council now, but then they chose to run again.

Tan Huizhu said that the decision of the National People's Congress this time does not affect other legislators, but the listed basis applies to future candidates.

She pointed out that there are four scenarios in which "determination according to law" is not in line with supporting the Basic Law and allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, including the election by the Returning Officer ruling that the eligibility for election is invalid, the Legislative Council Secretariat’s supervision and oath is invalid, and the Basic Law. Under Article 79, three second councillors voted for a violation of the oath while in office, and was ruled by the court to violate the Minato National Security Act.

Tan Huizhu emphasized that the National People's Congress made no mention of rags in the Legislative Council, nor did it say that the Legislative Council could not tolerate opposition. She did not see that other Members would be involved.

Regarding Western countries criticizing the decision of the National People’s Congress this time, Tan Yaozong said that since last year, foreign forces have continuously interfered in Hong Kong affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly stated that Hong Kong affairs should not be interfered. He called on foreign governments to read the Constitution and the Basic Law clearly and emphasized that the decisions of the National People’s Congress are consistent. The status of emotion, reason, and law is beyond doubt.
