(Hong Kong News) Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao said that Article 23 of the Basic Law must be legislated as soon as possible, and this year or the last year must be legislative.
Li Jiachao, who took office for almost a year, accepted an exclusive interview with Zhongtong News Agency on Wednesday (June 21) that 23 legislation has set a timetable, and must be legislated during his term.He said that he hoped that the legislation of Article 23 would be used for long -term management, not just a matter of responding to responsibility.
Li Jiachao also said that the Hong Kong National Security Law and 23 Articles cover only 11 crimes. Compared with foreign countries' extensive laws against national security, they are "small wages."
He also said that 23 legislation should refer to all methods of management, and then judge how to apply it in Hong Kong, and mention new methods of the Internet world, which has led to many legal updates. For example, Britain recently proposed new laws to maintain Guoan.
Article 23 of the Hong Kong Basic Law stipulates that Hong Kong shall be legislative to "prohibit any rebellion, split the country, incite the rebellion, subvert the central people's government, and steal the secrets of the state."The Hong Kong Government proposed a draft in 2003 to legislate, but the legislative process caused huge controversy, and eventually the official withdrawn.
The implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law will be three anniversary.Li Jiachao believes that Guoan risks must exist, and they must be careful of destructive forces in various fields.He claims that some countries are targeting mainland China and want to be unsuccessful in Hong Kong to achieve their political purposes.
