【Commentary】The "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Maintenance of National Security" was formally promulgated on June 30. Liang Zhenying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, was excited when he was interviewed by reporters from China News Service in Hong Kong. He believes that the promulgation of Hong Kong's national security law will bring about a stable social situation.

　　This time, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress was authorized by the National People's Congress to fill the loopholes in Hong Kong. It is very exciting for us and is a day worth remembering. Hong Kong is also in any society, especially since we have learned the lessons of the past year. We must have a stable environment in order to seize the opportunities for the development of this society, including economic development and improvement of people’s livelihood. Hong Kong's social and economic development and improvement of people's livelihood, in fact, have many opportunities with the strong support of the state, but these opportunities have not been able to be turned into reality for a long time in the past. It is because this society is relatively unstable, and now that Hong Kong has a national security law, I believe it will bring a relatively stable situation to the whole society.

　　【Explanation】Since the publication of the "Decision of the National People's Congress on Establishing and Improving the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanism for the Maintenance of National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Draft)" during the two sessions this year, some people have attempted to create panic in Hong Kong society and experienced the return of Hong Kong During the whole process, Liang Zhenying said that the relevant public opinion did not play any role at all. Today's Hong Kong and the pre-reunification Hong Kong are no different.

　　Today's economy in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's people's livelihood and popular sentiment is quite different from when the Chinese government first announced that it would take back Hong Kong in 1997 in 1982, 38 years ago. The strength, influence and status of our country in the international community are also different from those 38 years ago. Our country has made great progress in all aspects compared to when it was before the return of Hong Kong in 1997. This is something that Hong Kong people can hear and hear, so he has confidence in mainland China and more confidence in Hong Kong.

　　[Explanation] Liang Zhenying believes that the central government's promotion of relevant legislative procedures is based on overall and long-term considerations, and there are plans for various opposition voices that may appear in Hong Kong or the international community.

　　We are a highly open and free international society in Hong Kong. We welcome friends from all walks of life to invest in Hong Kong or study in Hong Kong. We are very welcome. But they must know that Hong Kong, like other societies in the world, has an obligation to maintain national security. It must also have such legislation and law enforcement power. This should be made clear to them. It also allows a very small number of international and Hong Kong people to make some conspiracy in Hong Kong that affects our national security and affects Hong Kong society, so that they can retreat in difficulty.

　　[Commentary] Liang Zhenying pointed out that the law on the maintenance of national security in Hong Kong is formulated at the national level and implemented in Hong Kong; except in some special circumstances, the state will exercise jurisdiction over the issue of safeguarding national security in Hong Kong. Law enforcement and judicial organs in Hong Kong are responsible for handling related cases. These are all manifestations of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy. They also reflect the country's high trust in Hong Kong.

　　This is a high degree of trust, and a large degree of trust in the administrative and judicial organs of Hong Kong. What is not trusted is the very few criminals who undermine national security in Hong Kong, especially those criminals who collude with external forces.

　　[Commentary] Liang Zhenying pointed out that over a month since the relevant content of the legislation was published, all aspects of Hong Kong society have responded fairly well, and various economic indicators have been fairly stable. Under the deterrent effect of the National Security Law, many opposition figures in Hong Kong have also changed their positions.

　　[Same period] Liang Zhenying, Vice Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee

　　We can see many of the opposition's top figures. They have already made a welcome change in their positions on issues such as "Hong Kong independence" and other issues that affect national security. Some of them knew that he might be one of the very few people who were targeted and targeted by the law, and they were also vigilant.

　　[Commentary] Liang Zhenying bluntly stated that after more than 100 years of colonial rule, Hong Kong not only lacked legal protection for national security, but the general public’s national security awareness was relatively weak. The legislation of Hong Kong’s National Security Protection Law itself is also a good national education and national security awareness education for Hong Kong citizens. He believes that the promulgation of Hong Kong's National Security Law will bring Hong Kong society back on track in a short time. Hong Kong should seize the opportunities of national development and actively solve various problems in Hong Kong’s social and economic development and people’s livelihood, including housing problems, land shortages, and graduate career development.

　　This place in Hong Kong is a very good place. Apart from seizing these opportunities and seeking a better life for Hong Kong’s 7.5 million people, we can take advantage of the dual advantages of “one country, two systems” for the country’s future development. Great contribution.
