The July 1 assassination case was classified as a lone wolf terrorist attack by the government. The Security Affairs Committee of the Legislative Council held a meeting today (6th) to discuss strengthening prevention and response to terrorist activities.
The Secretary for Security Tang Ping-kiang pointed out that in addition to condemning those who carry out terrorist activities, the public must also condemn those who shelter, beautify or downplay terrorist activities, making them "cross-street rats."
The Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong, Leung Chi-hsiung, asked Chen Wen-min, a professor of public law at the School of Law of the University of Hong Kong, whether the condolences were out of sympathy and would be regarded as terrorist activities.
Tang Pingqiang said that it depends on the evidence to decide whether to prosecute or not. "I hope this university professor can be aware of it at night, because you may make the whole of Hong Kong bloody."
Deng Bingqiang said he wants terrorists and shelters terrorist activists to become rats crossing the street
The DAB Ho Chun-yin pointed out that the police force is the Great Wall of Flesh in Hong Kong, but it only serves as first aid. He questioned experts and professors spreading drug thoughts and asked the authorities how to deal with education problems in Hong Kong.
Deng Bingqiang responded that the citizens should condemn those who carry out terrorist activities, shelter, beautify and downplay terrorist activities in unison. If you want to become a mouse crossing the street, every citizen will condemn it every time you see it.
Liang Zhixiang asked whether some people’s views promote terrorism. For example, a professor at a university said that mourning out of sympathy would be regarded as one of the terrorist activities.
Deng Bingqiang emphasized that violent behavior cannot be glorified, encouraged and sympathized. If someone encourages violent behavior, prosecution will be made depending on whether there is evidence that their speech and behavior are illegal. Sympathy for late will become support, and support will become participation. This is a very dangerous and immoral behavior. I hope this university professor can be aware of it at night, because you may make the whole of Hong Kong bloody."

Deng Bingqiang: Focus on investigating illegal information about "Lian Dang"
After Pakatan Harapan Liang Meifen asked, there have been many messages inciting hatred and terrorist activities on online platforms such as the Lian Deng discussion forum, asking the authorities how to prevent these "single fires" from burning.
Deng Bingqiang responded that there are many illegal messages in Lian Dang, which must be the focus of the investigation. If there is a legal basis, some network managers will be required to remove some messages.
New Democrat Party Rong Haien asked whether the bureau would add a closed-circuit television to monitor the situation in Causeway Bay. He also worried that the pedestrian zone would increase security risks, and asked whether the authorities would cancel the arrangement.
Deng Bingqiang said that the police will also actively consider any measures that can assist the police in investigating cases, especially combating terrorist activities.
Zheng Songtai reprimands the government for turning governance issues into public security issues
Passionate citizen Zheng Songtai said that people regardless of political opinion will not be happy about the July 1 attack on the police, and criticizing the government for turning governance issues into mere public security issues is not good for Hong Kong's long-term development.
He is also concerned about whether Article 23 of the legislation will introduce the crime of provoking quarrels in the Mainland. For example, if someone loses an election, the citizens will be regarded as provoking quarrels if they drink champagne.
Deng Bingqiang only stated that he does not agree that the government has simplified governance issues into public security issues. On the contrary, there are people in society turning the cart before the cart and turning the issue of violence and subversion of the regime into a social issue.
