Interview with the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Lin Zheng Yue'e: The Central Government Gives Life to Hong Kong and Helps it out of the Predicament
On the 2nd, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Lin Zheng Yuee, said in an exclusive interview with the reporter of the head office that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government fully supports and fully cooperates with the formulation and implementation of Hong Kong's national security legislation. Hong Kong has experienced unprecedented turmoil in the past year, which is heartbreaking. I believe that the relevant legislation can certainly block the risk loopholes in Hong Kong’s national security, so that Hong Kong will continue to prosper and stabilize, and the country will last forever.
Lin Zhengyue said that when the National People's Congress passed this decision, he felt very down-to-earth. Because if the central government does not take the initiative, Hong Kong may not be able to solve the current problems. Therefore, the state helps Hong Kong get out of a dilemma. Because, in fact, after 23 years of reunification, Article 23 of the Basic Law cannot be legislated. So at this time, the central government gave Hong Kong a chance to help it out of the predicament. If there is no stable situation, Hong Kong's economy and people's livelihood will be greatly affected.
Lin Zhengyue said that the situation faced by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the past year was very grim. Violent incidents continue to occur, causing unprecedented turmoil in the society.
Lin Zhengyue said that in the past year, every day was very sad. Why do so many people not cherish Hong Kong, especially the advantages under "one country, two systems"? Another heart-wrenching aspect is seeing a lot of young people who have been confused by the media or encouraged by the Internet and have done something completely incorrect. I still feel sad when I want to come.
Against some countries in the United States and the West that accused the relevant legislative decisions of losing Hong Kong's autonomy and democracy, and even threatened to sanction Hong Kong, Lin Zhengyue said that with the firm determination of the Central Government and the support of the people of Hong Kong, he would not be afraid of any threats. Lin Zhengyue said that these accusations are double standards, and any country in the world needs laws to maintain national security, and the formulation of laws on national security from the national level is also what all central governments should do. Therefore, criticism of this legislation by other countries is unfounded. Despite intimidation of "sanctions" and "cancellation of our special position", Hong Kong does not need to worry, because the determination of the Central Government to legislate this time is firm, and the determination of the Hong Kong SAR Government to fully support and fully cooperate with this work is also firm. Believe The general public of Hong Kong also firmly support it.
Lin Zhengyue said that with the gradual restoration of stability in Hong Kong society in the future, the SAR Government will focus on the development of people's livelihood and economic recovery. Lin Zhengyue said that in the past year in Hong Kong, there was first a trade dispute between China and the United States, followed by a "revision storm" that caused riots, and the past few months have been plagued by the global epidemic, which can be said to be a triple blow. The current economy is in a recession. Hong Kong’s economy grew negatively by 8.9% in the first quarter, and the unemployment rate has risen to 5.2%. So when the situation stabilizes in the future, the primary task is to restore Hong Kong’s economy.
Before the interview ended, Lin Zhengyue expressed his ardent hope for Hong Kong and national security. Lin Zhengyue said, "I also hope to use this opportunity to tell my compatriots in China that this time we are not only safeguarding the safety of 7.5 million people, but also hoping to plug a loophole in national security and prevent Hong Kong from becoming a national security. One risk, one gap. I also hope that the lives of 1.4 billion people will be stable and safe." (Headquarters reporter Jin Dong, Zhou Weiqi, Zhu Dan, Li Zhiqiang, Huang Yaozu, Su Zijie, Ye Lili)
