The Hong Kong government is accelerating the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law, and the “Maintenance of National Security Bill” also has regulations on “overseas interference.” Zhan Zhihong, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, said yesterday that many of the principle provisions of the law will make everyone worry about whether traveling and doing business in Hong Kong will be affected, and “don’t know how to live a safe life in Hong Kong.” In addition, some members of the Hong Kong Legislative Council are worried about future exchanges between Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Zhan Zhihong said at the Mainland Affairs Council’s regular press conference yesterday, “We are worried about the same thing as other countries in the world. Is Hong Kong’s past freedom, democracy and human rights gradually disappearing and being deprived of it?” This will affect Hong Kong’s 750 The lifestyle of millions of residents. In particular, there is a “thick stack” of more than 100 articles, many of which are principle regulations. What needs to be clarified most is what scope and specific behaviors are illegal under these regulations, and which ones are allowed.
Zhan Zhihong believes that during the Hong Kong government’s consultation period in the past month, the explanations given by relevant officials of the Hong Kong government “were not very complete and specific.” Even if the legislation is completed before next month, “the problem is that the law enforcement after the legislation does not have very specific regulations.” In this case, many people are worried about breaking the law.”
Zhan Zhihong said that this will lead to everyone not knowing how to live a safe life in Hong Kong, or to travel or do business in Hong Kong. “This is something we are concerned about and we will continue to monitor future developments,” he said.
The sixth part of the draft content is “crimes of overseas interference and engaging in activities endangering national security.” Di Zhiyuan, a member of the Legislative Council of the political party New Thinking, said in an interview with TVB yesterday that he is particularly concerned about the suggestions for the above clauses in the future between Hong Kong and Taiwan. Will the exchanges between them be affected?
Su Weiye, a professor at the Department of Public Affairs at National Chengchi University, said that he has not read the draft law in detail and cannot analyze in detail the possible impact of Taiwanese people going to Hong Kong. However, now two types of people have been refused entry to Hong Kong, including politicians and sensitive people. As for other people “If you do something high-profile,” you may not be allowed to enter the country, or you may be caught entering the country. If this ordinance is passed, it will be “one more basis.”
