The National People's Congress decided to implement Hong Kong-related national security legislation according to law, which aroused the concern of all parties. However, there are still some people who arbitrarily make judgments, arbitrarily misinterpret, arrange fallacies, and confuse right and wrong. For these fallacies, it is necessary to go back one by one with facts!

Myth 1: Hong Kong’s national security legislation does not conform to international practice

　　Fact: Maintaining national security through laws is an internationally accepted practice. Any country will take all effective measures to combat crimes that endanger national security, and will not be lenient.

Myth 2: "A very small number of people are all people", legislation will make Hong Kong citizens self-defeating

　　Fact: The scope of application of the relevant legislation is strictly limited, and it punishes only four kinds of acts, such as splitting the country that is the most harmful and affecting the national security, subverting the state power, organizing the implementation of terrorist activities, and foreign and foreign forces interfering in the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. And activities are not related to the vast majority of Hong Kong residents.

Myth 3: Legislation will damage the basic rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents

　　Fact: The relevant legislation punishes criminal acts and activities that endanger national security that are carried out by a very small number of people, and will not affect the enjoyment and exercise of various rights and freedoms by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law. Very few illegal and criminal acts that endanger national security are effectively prevented, stopped, and punished. This will make the rule of law in Hong Kong sounder and the society more stable, so as to better guarantee the safety and rights and freedom of life and property of Hong Kong residents.

Myth 4: Hong Kong people will not be heard during the legislative process

　　Fact: On June 3, Vice Premier Han Zheng listened to the opinions of Chief Executive Lin Zhengyue and relevant principal officials of the SAR Government in Beijing; Mr. Dong Jianhua and Mr. Liang Zhenying, deputy chairmen of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, served as conveners for the "Hong Kong Restart Grand Alliance" in June Held a symposium in Hong Kong on the 10th and listened to the opinions of 40 major alliance promoters. People from all walks of life in Hong Kong can also express their opinions through e-mail, letter or landing on the NPC.

Myth 5: law enforcement agencies have unknown powers and responsibilities

　　Fact: The relevant agencies only deal with matters involving the scope of national security. The corresponding responsibilities and authorities will be clearly defined in the legislation, which is in line with the principles and spirit of modern rule of law, and will not expand the scope of the attack, nor will it confuse crimes or arbitrarily enter and exit people. . Let us think about it. The national security agencies must also handle cases strictly in accordance with the law in the Mainland, and there are strict procedural restrictions. How can they become unrestrained when they arrive in Hong Kong?

Myth 6: Legislation will affect foreign investment confidence in Hong Kong

　　Fact: Since the outbreak of the revision law in June last year, the activities of "Hong Kong independence" elements, radical separatist forces and opposition parties have severely damaged Hong Kong's rule of law and economic and people's livelihood. It has also severely damaged Hong Kong's business environment and international image. National security legislation is precisely to reverse this situation and restore stability to Hong Kong. This is only good for Hong Kong to maintain a good business environment, consolidate and enhance the status of Hong Kong's financial, trade and shipping center, and enhance the confidence of foreign investors, without harm. After the adoption of the Hong Kong-related National Security Legislation decision, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Jardine and other foreign-funded groups in Hong Kong have expressed their support, arguing that this is conducive to the long-term stability of Hong Kong and is the basis and prerequisite for all development.

Myth 7: Legislation will weaken Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center

　　Fact: After the introduction of legislation, the central government’s support for Hong Kong will definitely be greater, including the issue of consolidating the status of Hong Kong’s international financial center, and the central government will spare no effort to support it. As long as the Chinese economy maintains a good development trend, as long as the central government continues to attach great importance to the special status of Hong Kong and continue to value the role of "super contact" and "translator" between the world and mainland China, as long as the central government is in a difficult international economic environment If we continue to support Hong Kong, there is absolutely no reason to worry that the status of Hong Kong's international financial shipping and trading center will be affected.

Myth 8: US sanctions will change Hong Kong’s status as a separate customs zone

　　Fact: The special economic status of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is protected by the Basic Law and recognized and respected by countries around the world. The legal basis of Hong Kong’s status as a separate customs zone originates from the WTO agreement and is confirmed by the Hong Kong Basic Law. After the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, the mainland and Hong Kong have continuously deepened mutually beneficial economic and trade cooperation, and the status of Hong Kong’s free port and separate customs zone has been maintained and consolidated. This fully demonstrates that Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy is working well and will never be changed by unilateral sanctions by individual countries. .

Myth 9: The legislation cannot be connected with the current legal system in Hong Kong

　　Fact: This time the legislation will not erode or replace the existing legal system of Hong Kong, it will only supplement the gaps and deficiencies of the existing laws in response to the situation, and will fully consider the connection with the local laws of Hong Kong, embody the principle of "one country", and respect the "two systems" "The difference is in line with the principles and spirit of modern rule of law.
