China News Service, Beijing, July 2nd, Question: Keep the bottom line together, one way An Xiangjiang

"Hong Kong's National Security Law is a turning point for Hong Kong's development to return to the right track, which can reverse the situation and bring about a change in the situation. In one sentence, it can be summed up as "one law can make Hong Kong safe." Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, said at the press conference of the State Council’s new office on the 1st.
On the 23rd anniversary of the return of Hong Kong, the National Security Law was implemented in Xiangjiang. The outside world expects that Hong Kong, which has experienced more than a year of chaos, will be able to restore the rule of law and social order under its escort and prosper and stabilize again. The reason why the National Security Law is "one law to secure the Xiangjiang River", the effect of its stability is generally reflected in the two levels of the central government and Hong Kong.
At the national level, the promulgation and implementation of Hong Kong's National Security Law can fill up the country's overall security loopholes and reassure the central government.
Prior to this, China had promulgated and implemented a new National Security Law in 2015, and it had basic, global and comprehensive laws that were based on the overall situation and led all areas of national security. However, it is needless to say that in the 23 years since the return of Hong Kong, the local legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law is nowhere in sight, and at the same time, loopholes in Hong Kong's overall national security have gradually emerged. In recent years, some countries have tried every possible means to curb China's peaceful development, trying to find a breakthrough in Hong Kong.
As far as the Hong Kong level is concerned, national security legislation is expected to restore peace to Hong Kong, and society will refocus on solving deep-seated structural contradictions such as the economy and people's livelihood, and improving the well-being of citizens. In the past storm of more than a year, Hong Kong society has been highly politicized, and the "black storm" has gone further and further on the branch road, unscrupulously. The democratic development and the right to freedom that Hong Kong people have longed for not only drive backwards, but the economy and people's livelihood standards continue to shrink, and even the basic safety of people's lives has encountered unprecedented serious threats. There are national security laws that hang high on the heads of violent elements, so that ordinary people's normal lives can move forward.
What needs to be pointed out is that "one law can help Xiangjiang", the more important connotation is "in accordance with the law." The key to whether a stable order can be reached as scheduled is to accurately and firmly enforce the law, and still implement the spirit of respect and protection of human rights emphasized by the National Security Law. It still depends on the rational treatment and concerted efforts of the people of Hong Kong.
According to a poll conducted by the Bauhinia Research Institute in Hong Kong in early June, 60% of the 1366 people surveyed agreed that Hong Kong has the responsibility to protect national security, and 57% agreed that "Hong Kong independence" and overseas forces undermine social peace and damage national security. More than half The author believes that the implementation of the National Security Law has no impact on daily life, freedom of speech and assembly, and judicial independence. The polls revealed that Hong Kong people have the ability to discern right from wrong.
Observers have noticed that in the 23 years since the reunification, the Central Government has always adhered to the handling of Hong Kong affairs in accordance with the Basic Law. It has never wavered, never been biased, and ensured that the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong will not be deformed or deformed. Over the past 23 years, Hong Kong has experienced ups and downs, its central position has always stood, and the lifestyle of Hong Kong people has not changed.
Since the implementation of the National Security Act, there are still a handful of people in Hong Kong who have tried to take risks and the external interference forces have not ended. Its purpose is nothing but trying to shake people's hearts and test the bottom line.
The majority of Hong Kong people should take the initiative to seize the opportunity and sincerely embrace the implementation of the National Security Law, so that they can really play the role of "fixing the gods of the sea", rather than being affected by the "foreign monks' distort scriptures", rather than being scattered by a handful of Hong Kong chaos. Confused by rumors. Only when the bottom line of national security is solidly worked together will the space for "one country, two systems" be greater. (Finish)
