China news agency, Beijing, July 4 - Question: Pearl of the Orient CHANGSHA this peace of mind is that my town

After 23 years of returning to the motherland, Hong Kong finally possessed a "body armor"-the day of the anniversary of the return, Hong Kong's National Security Law and the public ushered in the morning sun.
From then on, Hong Kong's social order will gradually be restored and returned to the right track, and Hong Kong people can finally get rid of the shadow of "black storm" and "speculation" and welcome the prosperity and stability that should belong to them.
Looking back at history, from the island fishing village to the Pearl of the Orient, Hong Kong has created extraordinary economic prosperity in the wave of the times. This has historical opportunities and geographical advantages. It is the result of pioneering and advancing results of Hong Kong citizens adhering to the self-improving "Lion Mountain Spirit". It is also inseparable from the support of the state and the benign interaction with the mainland.
However, due to the lack of national security legislation since the return of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the "Hong Kong independence" forces have been undercurrent and become a major threat to prosperity and development, making Hong Kong a prominent risk point for national security. With the intervention of external forces, last year's amendments made Hong Kong unprepared, caught in a violent vortex, and continued social unrest.
The damage to Hong Kong by the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong is a real livelihood behind the statistics for the citizens, personal safety, the right to better development and the future.
Before the formal promulgation of the National Security Law of Hong Kong, it has shown a deterrent effect on some forces; after the gazette came into effect, the continuous rise of Hong Kong stocks reflects the boost of investor confidence.
In addition to supporting and welcoming this law, some Hong Kong people worry that their rights and freedoms will be affected. Most of these doubts stem from the lack of understanding of this new law.
Observers have integrated the recent multi-party remarks and have the following broad cognition: Hong Kong’s National Security Law is aimed at actions and activities that seriously endanger national security, such as splitting the country, subverting state power, and organizing terrorist activities, as well as external intervention forces; The specific serious crimes of a few people should be handled in the same cases as the national security cases handled by many countries in recent years. For ordinary citizens, there is no need to be seated on the right, but it is a kind of protection. The social and legal order that everyone fears for more than a year is expected to be back on track.
It should be noted that a perfect enforcement mechanism will ensure that the work of safeguarding national security and law enforcement are strictly in accordance with the law, comply with statutory authority, and follow statutory procedures, and will not infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of Hong Kong residents, legal persons, and other organizations.
Looking back on the original intention, the implementation of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong is to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and protect the interests and well-being of Hong Kong people. Over the past 23 years, the Central Government has continuously explored and perfected the "One Country, Two Systems" system. Today, Hong Kong's National Security Law is a milestone on this path. It will ensure that "One Country, Two Systems" will be stable and far-reaching, and it is the "guardian" of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
Di Jing Meng Chen, this heart is my hometown. Hong Kong citizens who love their hometown, whether they were silenced by fear or injured by opposition to violence, are now free from such threats and violations, and can regain confidence to welcome a bright future. (Finish)
