China News Agency, Beijing, June 8 (Wang Jiexian) Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out on the National People's Congress's National Security Legislation Decision on the 8th that the central government has repeatedly emphasized that the relevant national security legislation only targets a very small number of people. Reason is extremely important in Hong Kong today.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government held a webinar on the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law of Hong Kong on the same day. Zhang Xiaoming delivered a keynote speech by video link.
Zhang Xiaoming said that combining the relevant provisions of the "decision" and the explanation of Wang Chen, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, we can make the following popular interpretations of these speeches.
The first is to declare "strike against a very small number of people", not only for "announcement of the people", but also an important criminal policy determined by the central government. It is the guiding ideology and principles of the relevant legislation, and it will also be reflected in the relevant law enforcement and judicial processes.
The second is that the scope of application of the relevant legislation is strictly limited. The punishment is only to commit the acts and activities of splitting the country, subverting the state power, organizing the implementation of terrorist activities, and interfering with the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by foreign and foreign forces. It has nothing to do with the vast majority of Hong Kong residents. . Because these four behaviors and activities are the most harmful, they are the most prominent risk points that affect national security. As for other general crimes that endanger national security, ordinary criminal crimes, economic crimes, etc., they are not within the scope of this regulation, but are handled in accordance with the relevant laws in force in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Some of the "activation" laws should be "activated", Can't always sleep.
Thirdly, the relevant legislation stipulates the implementation mechanism, including the establishment and functions of the relevant central authorities for the maintenance of national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, all of which are based on the principle of effective prevention, prohibition and punishment of the above-mentioned four types of criminal acts and activities, and fully respect them The independent judicial power and final adjudication power of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Fourth, all relevant legislative, law enforcement, and judicial actions will effectively protect the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law, comply with the principles and spirit of the modern rule of law, and will not expand the scope of the attack, nor will they confuse crimes or commit arbitrary crimes.
