Moreover, the hearing involves the legal principles and application of the National Security Law. Media reports can enhance public awareness and publicity of the National Security Law, and also help in prosecution.

Barrister Huang Ruihong stated that the defense's position is that the media should be allowed to report on legal disputes, and the background of the defendant's growth in court should be reportable.
