Watch This | NSL and electoral system are 'sword' and 'shield' to safeguard HK: Luo Huining

Thursday (April 15) morning's opening ceremony of National Security Education Day kicks off a series of activities to mark its first celebration since the implementation of the National Security Law for Hong Kong.

Luo Huining, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in HK and National Security Adviser to the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the HKSAR gives a speech at the ceremony.

Luo points out that the promulgation of the National Security Law for HK in June last year has put an end to the history of HK having no national security safeguards. Last month the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress took action to improve the SAR's electoral system, plugging systemic loopholes that have been exploited by anti-China, destabilizing activists to infiltrate into the SAR's governing structures. Netizens have likened the two strategic moves by the Central Authorities to the "sword" and "shield" that serve to safeguard the social stability and the future of HK. I express my full agreement with the netizens.
