China's central government departments recently held symposiums in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to listen to public opinions on the national security legislation for the city.
On June 23, 12 separate symposiums were held in Hong Kong by the Commission of the Legislative Affairs of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, and the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR.
The 120 representatives from sectors such as politics, law, business, finance, education, science and technology, culture, religion, youths, laborers, non-governmental organizations and regional associations attended the symposiums, where they voiced their support for the draft law on safeguarding national security in the city.
They unanimously agreed that enacting the law for Hong Kong will plug the national security loopholes and make up for the lack of implementation mechanism in the city's legal system, which will be conducive to Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and the enduring development of the "one country, two systems" principle.
They all expressed the hope that the national security law will be enacted as soon as possible.
On June 21, Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and also vice chairman of the 13th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, met with Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen, president of the HKSAR Legislative Council in Shenzhen, Hong Kong's neighboring city, to hear his opinions on the national security legislation for the HKSAR.
The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR also held two symposiums on the national security legislation on June 6 and June 8, respectively, hearing comments and suggestions from HKSAR deputies to the NPC and members of the CPPCC National Committee.
Nearly 2.93 million Hong Kong residents have signed a petition online and offline in support of the national security legislation for Hong Kong during an eight-day campaign from May 22 to 29. A total of 36 HKSAR deputies to the NPC and 190 members of the CPPCC National Committee have also submitted 226 written opinions supporting the legislation.
