Alleging that someone slandered the police and provoked social hatred

Deng Bingqiang mentioned that during the turmoil of the amendment bill, there were many false news, including slandering the police for murder and rape. Some media that have been prosecuted also reported false news, which made people hate the government and divided society. It is necessary to study whether to pass legislation or executive measures to reduce relevant national security risks.

He also pointed out that during the anti-amendment demonstrations, some media obstructed the police and asked the industry to reflect.

"A 13-year-old boy said he was a reporter, and another filmed our female colleague's comments on body parts, and he said he was a reporter. In fact, we really want to help people who are really engaged in interviews and make them more convenient, but when I When I can’t identify those people, how can I provide convenience? I want the industry to think about whether it needs to judge whether those people are industry people.” Deng Bingqiang admitted that during the chaos in 2019, the police may have inadvertently hindered the work of reporters. However, police officers and journalists should understand each other, and law enforcement officers should strive for excellence in their work. It is hoped that the two sides can now build up mutual trust.

Recently, a number of Western doctors were arrested for allegedly spamming "needle-free paper". Deng Bingqiang criticized the relevant behaviors as tiring and tiring, and the law must be enforced: "We launched the "needle-free paper" for the convenience of people who have real physical problems and cannot get injections. , rather than being abused as an excuse to not want injections, this behavior is exhausting, and we must strictly enforce the law in this case.”

Deng Bingqiang mentioned that the overall risk in Hong Kong's society has been greatly improved. The situation is not easy to come by, but it cannot be taken lightly. Article 23 of the Basic Law must be enacted to cover crimes such as treason and espionage. However, there is no legislative timetable at this stage.
