Liu Zhaojia: We must convince Hong Kong people that the central government is strong against external attacks
Liu Zhaojia, vice president of the National Association for Hong Kong and Macau Studies, said that the central government requires SAR government officials and patriotic forces to have a strong fighting force in the face of suppression from the West, especially the United States, to ensure that Hong Kong will not be greatly affected by the suppression from the United States and the West. .
Among them, in particular, it is necessary to convince the people of Hong Kong that the central government and the SAR government are capable of representing Hong Kong to resist attacks, boycotts and containment from outside.
He pointed out that the "overall governance" of the central government and the "high degree of autonomy" of the SAR together constitute a unified whole. Governance must also be manifested through the SAR's work in Hong Kong.
He also stressed that in the face of external attacks and boycotts in the future, the SAR government will have to make the foreign forces who deal with Hong Kong pay the price, and the smearing and slandering of Hong Kong by external forces will not have an adverse impact on the internal development of Hong Kong.
