After Beijing announced on Thursday (May 21) announced that after the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress authorized the Standing Committee of the People's Congress to formulate the National Security Law of Hong Kong, society was full of concerns and even panic.The netizens searching for VPN that night means that the online remarks will be pursued; the next day the stock market has more than a thousand points. Even if it considers the composition of technical adjustment, the overall emotions of the market are still negative.

The Hong Kong people are also full of doubts about the local legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law. When Beijing formulates the National Security Law for Hong Kong, society is full of worry and panic, which is completely reasonable and unexpected.As a kind of emotion, doubt is often not completely rational, nor is it completely irrational, but the two are mixed.

Every time there is a political panic, some people will discuss and search for immigrants.But reality is that most people do not have capital immigrants, and the threshold for immigration is very high.Therefore, regardless of what is concerned or stance, Hong Kong people have to pragmly understand this legislation and understand the ins and outs of the dragons.

Article 18 of the Basic Law is the key

According to Article 2 of the Basic Law, the National People's Congress authorized the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to enjoy legislative power, but despite this, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress still retains a certain right to legislative supervision, including according to Article 160 and 17 of the Basic Law.The law fails; according to Article 18, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress can also implement national laws in Hong Kong under two specified circumstances.

According to Article 18 (2) and (3), the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress can include national laws of non -autonomous scope into the Annex III of the Basic Law, which will be announced or implemented by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; according to Article 18 (4), the Standing Committee of the National People's CongressIt can announce that Hong Kong has entered an emergency and enables the Central People's Government to implement national laws in Hong Kong.

This time, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the National People's Congress formulated the Hong Kong National Security Law, which is based on the 18th (2) and (3) of the Basic Law.National security belongs to the scope of non -autonomy. For example, Article 23 of the Basic Law involved in the National Security is the relationship between the Second and Hong Kong Special Administrative Regions of the Basic Law.Unquestionable.

Special legislation for Hong Kong

Some people describe that this approach is bypassing the Legislative Council, but according to Article 18 (2) of the Basic Law, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress will include the laws in the Basic Law.The procedure does not have to be legislated by the Legislative Council, but the government can be directly announced by the government.In the past, the National Anthem Law was legislated by the Legislative Council, because those laws were aimed at the implementation of the country, and many expressions, words and specifications were not suitable for Hong Kong.However, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress specifically legislative on the situation of Hong Kong, it is known that more than 20 legal scholars have been invited to participate in the draft.

In other words, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress can not be legislated to Hong Kong, but can only include the laws of non -autonomous categories in accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of the Basic Law into Annex III and adopt corresponding and appropriate procedures.Fa Zhao was used in Hong Kong, but also made another law on the situation in Hong Kong.

The legislation this time is not unusual, but also touches the core values of Hong Kong people, and the current political environment is filled with the atmosphere of mutual distrust, how can society worry about?However, Hong Kong's road is going to go on. One country, two systems must be stable and far away, and everyone cannot stop in anxiety. It is also necessary to actively understand the implementation of the current pattern and the implementation of one country and the two systems.
