On August 11, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region respectively issued statements expressing their firm support for the adoption of the "National People’s Representatives" at the 21st meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress. The Decision of the Standing Committee of the General Assembly on the Continued Performance of the Duties of the Sixth Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and will cooperate with relevant work.
The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council stated that the decision made by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on the continuation of the duties of the sixth legislative council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is very important and timely. It provides a solid legal foundation for the sixth legislative council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to continue to perform its duties. . The statement also pointed out that the facts since Hong Kong's return have made people see more and more clearly: Who is really good for Hong Kong? Whether it is to resist the impact of the international financial crisis, or to combat the risks brought by the SARS epidemic or the new crown pneumonia epidemic, whether it is to introduce major policy measures to support Hong Kong's economic difficulties and improve people's livelihood, or to formulate important laws to help Hong Kong calm the chaos and resolve the constitution The problem is back on the right track of development. The central government and the 1.4 billion people of the motherland have always cared the most, been the most considerate, and cherished Hong Kong the most. The mainland of the motherland has always been Hong Kong's biggest backer to resist storms and overcome difficulties. The bright future of Hong Kong lies in the comprehensive and accurate implementation of the "One Country, Two Systems" policy, and lies in the development and prosperity of the increasingly powerful motherland!
The Hong Kong Liaison Office stated that the relevant decisions of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress were made in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law, and have legal authority that cannot be challenged. This decision minimizes social shock so that the whole society can concentrate on the most urgent epidemic prevention and control work. It reflects the central government's high responsibility for the overall interests of Hong Kong and the greatest care for the vital interests of the citizens. I believe that with the strong support of the central government and the mainland, the SAR government and all sectors of society will work together to win this battle against the epidemic as soon as possible.
The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Carrie Lam, sincerely thanked the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for making the decision to continue to perform the duties of the sixth legislative council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. She said that this decision not only maintains the constitutional order and the rule of law in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, but also ensures the normal governance and normal operation of the Special Administrative Region government, once again demonstrating the central government's care and support for the Special Administrative Region. The SAR government will later gazette the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and at the same time revoke the decision to suspend the session of the Sixth Legislative Council, so that the sixth Legislative Council can resume operations as soon as possible.
