Since last month, the government has successively arranged for district councilors to take oaths. Among them, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories East have completed their oaths. So far, a total of 33 district councillors have been ruled invalid and must leave their posts immediately.
Secretary for Home Affairs Xu Yingwei attended a press conference today (9th) and was asked about the reasons and criteria of DQ district councillors, and when he was asked whether the DQ district councillors’ salary rumors were fake news, he responded that whether the district councillors passed the oath should be considered. The positive and negative lists of Article 104 of the Basic Law include acts that endanger national security, promote and support Hong Kong independence, and seek foreign organizations to interfere in Hong Kong affairs.
Xu Yingwei emphasized that it has been explained in the reply to the member's letter, and that if there is any illegal act, it is necessary to refer the case to the law enforcement department for follow-up.
The "Policy Address" proposes to study and explore whether laws should be amended or enacted to deal with the spread of "fake news" and hate speech on social media, as well as insults to public officials.

Xu Yingwei said that if there is false information, it may affect epidemic prevention, finance, and national security. Therefore, the bureau will study other overseas experience and handling methods of handling fake news, and then review how to ensure security under conditions suitable for Hong Kong.
Xu Yingwei also pointed out that in sports, Hong Kong has achieved outstanding results in the Olympics and the National Games, and the future of sports will develop in the direction of professionalization and industrialization.
He mentioned the "Retired Athletes Transformation Plan" launched earlier. This year, more than 70 retired athletes have participated. The goal is to increase more retired athletes participating in the plan within 5 years.
As for district affairs, the policy address proposes to study lowering the threshold for the sale of ancestral land in the New Territories in order to "give the green light" to development.
Xu Yingwei pointed out that many of them have development potential and will work with the Development Bureau and other departments to deal with the problems of the ancestral hall while respecting the traditions of the ancestral hall and protecting the rights and interests of the ancestral hall members. The goal is to complete the review within one year and formulate specific revision proposals.
