Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor: "Black Violence" has changed from the masses to the covert
The Chief Executive Carrie Lam told reporters before attending the executive meeting today (6th) that since the promulgation of the National Security Law last year, the effectiveness of stopping violence and chaos is obvious and beyond doubt.
However, citizens’ awareness of law-abiding has become weak, and social networks lack supervision. Some people use this to spread hate thoughts and extreme remarks. There are also false news and opposition to the central government. Among them, the 7.1 attempted murder of the police has sounded the alarm, and some people have been in the concierge. The government set fire and threatened to intimidate the government and the police.
Carrie Lam believes that these actions are not accidental and prove that "black violence" has changed from the masses to the covert. Law enforcement agencies will conduct investigations and will target people on the Internet inciting others to kill police.
At the policy level, the relevant bureau will speed up the establishment of a more complete system and mechanism in line with the National Security Law. She has also requested all government departments to have the awareness of maintaining national security, including education, broadcasting, culture and art.
Carrie Lam hopes that the public will publicly condemn violence. He also pointed out that "no violence but tyranny" is a fallacy. He emphasized that no excuses should be made for the perpetrators. Parents and principals should also pay attention to the behavior of young people around them and report any illegal activities.
