China News Agency, Hong Kong, July 1 (Reporter Zhang Xiaoxi) The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Lin Zheng Yuee, held a press conference in Hong Kong with the Secretary of the Department of Justice of the Special Administrative Region Zheng Ruohua and the Director of the Security Bureau Li Jiachao in Hong Kong on the 1st The Security Law embodies the central government's adherence to and perfection of "one country, two systems". It is an important milestone in "one country, two systems" and enables Hong Kong society to move forward.
On the afternoon of the same day, Lin Zhengyue, Zheng Ruohua and Li Jiachao held a press conference on the Law on the Maintenance of National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Lin Zhengyue pointed out that the legislation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to safeguard national security laws reflects the central government's insistence on "one country, two systems" and its determination to improve the practice of "one country, two systems." She mentioned that some criticisms say that legislation is destroying "one country, two systems". This is definitely not the case. On the contrary, the Central Government hopes to use the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to maintain national security laws to improve the "one country, two systems" system and keep Hong Kong prosperous for the past 23 years. A stable system can continue and continue.
She believes that "one country, two systems" is a very unique epoch-making concept. In the course of practice, some new problems and new situations will appear. If the Hong Kong SAR wants to continue to implement "one country, two systems", some places need to be improved, including the "one country, two systems." "National" and "two systems" relations, perfect laws and systems to maintain national security, do a good job of propagating and educating the country's history and national culture, and promote and deepen the development of the relationship between the central and special zones.
She said that these unfinished jobs have caused some crises and risks in Hong Kong, and created some tensions that have triggered the Hong Kong society. Of course, the central government has also seen the riots in Hong Kong since June last year, so it believes that a shot is needed.
Zheng Ruohua stated that if he recalls the original intention of establishing "one country, two systems" when Hong Kong returned, it is actually to safeguard the country's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and to maintain Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. Therefore, if in terms of national security, Hong Kong's legal loopholes and system deficiencies cannot be repaired, it cannot meet the requirements of "one country, two systems".
Zheng Ruohua believes that the legislation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to maintain national security laws is to establish a sound legal system and enforcement mechanism for maintaining national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s National Security Law is a very important milestone in “One Country, Two Systems”, setting a precedent and enabling Hong Kong society to move forward.
Li Jiachao said that under the Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Safeguarding National Security, the SAR Government bears the main responsibility for handling national security, and most of the work is handled and completed by the SAR.
He hopes that Hong Kong citizens can understand the seriousness of endangering national security through the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s National Security Protection Law and take seriously any crimes mentioned in the law; for some serious crimes, do not try to test the law and test the bottom line.
