Chinese gov't spokesperson stresses enforcement of HKSAR national security law

China Daily  

BEIJING -- It is imperative to fully and faithfully enforce the law on safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of China's State Council said on Monday. In accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Central People's Government recently issued an official request to the Chief Executive of the HKSAR John Lee, asking him to submit a report on the HKSAR's performance of its duty to safeguard national security, including the work of the region's Committee for Safeguarding National Security. Since the enactment of the law, the HKSAR has fulfilled its constitutional responsibility to safeguard national security in accordance with the law and has achieved notable results, the spokesperson said. The move is contrary to the provisions of the law on safeguarding national security in the HKSAR that the executive authorities, legislature and judiciary of the region shall effectively prevent, suppress and impose punishment for any act or activity endangering national security in accordance with the law, said the spokesperson, noting that it also violates the legislative spirit and legal logic of the law.
