I saw that from SAR government officials, legislators, backbones of political groups and organizations, to grassroots workers, young students, and ethnic minorities, all are actively participating.
He said, if we say, during the discussions and visits a few days ago, we heard positive suggestions to implement the decision of the National People's Congress.
So, in this 2.38 million joint signature, we have seen a broad consensus in support of the decision of the National People's Congress.
The Liaison Office of the Central Committee will forward this heavy public opinion to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress as soon as possible.
Luo Huining pointed out that this signing event demonstrates the awe-inspiring righteousness on the banks of the Xiangjiang River.
Through this stack of signature books, we deeply felt the general public’s sincere support for the central government to correct chaos in a timely manner, felt the abhorrence of all walks of life for the “black violence” and “speculation”, and felt the Hong Kong society’s opposition to foreign and foreign forces’ interference. Strong determination.
It can be said that public opinion is vast and unstoppable.
Luo Huining pointed out that next week, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress will review the draft amendments to Annex 1 and Annex 2 of the Basic Law, and then Hong Kong will have to implement supporting legislation.
It is the joint responsibility of the SAR government, the legislature and all sectors of the Hong Kong society to fully implement the decisions of the National People's Congress.
