The Secretary for Justice, Ms Teresa Cheng, attended the Joint School Teachers Seminar organized by the Association of Government Secondary School Principals online today (28th), explaining the relationship between the Constitution and the Basic Law to more than 1,300 principals and teachers of government secondary schools, and The importance of maintaining national security and improving the electoral system.
She reiterated that Hong Kong only started a new era of democracy with the support of the central government after the handover. Articles 45 and 58 of the Basic Law clearly stipulate that Hong Kong must achieve the goal of universal suffrage according to the actual situation and the principle of gradual progress.
Zheng Ruohua pointed out that national security is first and foremost political security. He believes that the decision of the National People's Congress to improve the electoral system according to the actual situation in Hong Kong has a solid legal basis, which provides an important institutional guarantee for "patriots ruling Hong Kong" and promotes the realization of good governance.
Cheng Ruohua explained to the teachers that the Constitution is the fundamental law of the country and has the highest legal force. The Constitution and the Basic Law together constitute the constitutional foundation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, enabling the "one country, two systems" to be fully implemented, emphasizing that "one country" must be respected The basic premise is that the "two systems" can flourish.
Zheng Ruohua explained that the "Hong Kong National Security Law" was formulated in accordance with the powers entrusted to the National People's Congress by the "Constitution" to prevent, stop and punish acts endangering national security.
The government press release mentioned that she clarified some misunderstandings about the bail arrangement and the appointment of judges under the "Hong Kong National Security Law" at the seminar, but did not explain in detail.
She reiterated that the Hong Kong SAR has a constitutional responsibility and should complete the legislation for safeguarding national security stipulated in the Basic Law as soon as possible.
Zheng Ruohua hopes that this lecture will enable teachers to further understand the Constitution, the Basic Law, the Hong Kong National Security Law and improve the electoral system, so as to impart correct knowledge to students and cultivate a new generation of law-abiding and etiquette with the concept of the country.
