The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) held a round table on the same day entitled "Stop curbing speculation and protecting young people-paying attention to the issue of younger crime." Deng Bingqiang attended the meeting and announced that from June last year to April this year, a total of 8057 people were arrested in connection with the revision of the law, of which 1472 people have been prosecuted.

Some people romanticize and heroize violence, which distorts the values of many young people, thinking that they can do whatever they want or even resort to violence as long as they are in their own interests or beliefs.
Deng Bingqiang criticized that the most shameful thing is that when young people are arrested and imprisoned, the instigators behind them, in addition to calling others to donate money to "lawyer friends" to sue, will only let the young people bear the consequences for them.
