外交部发言人就全国人大常委会审议通过香港国安法发表谈话

After the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) was adopted at the 20th session of the 13th 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 have both issued statements.
国务院港澳办和香港中联办已分别就十三届全国人大常委会第二十次会议通过《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区维护国家安全法》发表声明。

The NPC Standing Committee formulated this law and listed it in Annex III to the HKSAR Basic Law to be gazetted and enacted in Hong Kong by the SAR government. This is a fundamental solution for Hong Kong to restore order, end chaos and resume stability. It is a landmark in the practice of "one country, two systems" and a strong institutional guarantee for upholding national sovereignty, security and development interests, safeguarding lasting security, prosperity and stability in Hong Kong, and ensuring the steady implementation of "one country, two systems". It reflects the shared will of all Chinese people including Hong Kong compatriots.
全国人大常委会制定香港国安法，并将该法列入香港基本法附件三，由香港特区在当地公布实施，这是香港恢复秩序、由乱及治的治本之策，是“一国两制”实践具有里程碑意义的大事，为维护国家主权、安全、发展利益，保障香港长治久安和长期繁荣稳定，确保“一国两制”实践行稳致远提供强大制度保障，充分反映了包括香港同胞在内的全体中国人民的共同意志。

This legislation takes into full consideration the realistic needs of safeguarding national security and the specific conditions of the HKSAR and sets out systemic and comprehensive provisions regarding a legal system and enforcement mechanisms at both national and SAR levels. This upholds the constitutional order in the HKSAR established by the Constitution and the Basic Law and demonstrates the inherent requirements of "one country, two systems". The law applies to four categories of criminal behaviors that gravely undermine national security. It will only target very few criminals but protect the vast majority of Hong Kong people. Its implementation will strengthen Hong Kong's legal framework, ensure social order, improve business environment, and benefit Hong Kong citizens and international investors. We have every confidence in the bright prospects of Hong Kong.
香港国安法充分考虑维护国家安全的现实需要和香港特区的具体情况，从中央和香港特区两个层面就法律制度和执行机制作出系统全面的规定，维护了宪法和基本法确立的香港特区的宪制秩序，彰显了“一国两制”的内在要求。法律规管的是严重危害国家安全的四种犯罪行为，惩治的是极少数，保护的是绝大多数。法律实施后，香港的法律体系将更加完备，社会秩序将更加稳定，营商环境将更加良好，广大香港市民和国际投资者都将从中受益，我们对香港的光明未来充满信心。

Hong Kong is one of China's special administrative regions and its affairs are China's internal affairs. The Chinese government is firmly determined to implement "one country, two systems" and oppose foreign interference in Hong Kong affairs. Nobody and nothing could shake the Chinese government and people's resolution and will to safeguard national sovereignty and security and uphold Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. Any attempt seeking to undermine China's sovereignty, security and development interests is doomed to fail.
香港是中国的特别行政区，香港事务属于中国内政。中国政府坚持贯彻“一国两制”方针的决心坚定不移，反对外部势力干预香港事务的决心坚定不移。任何势力、任何情况都动摇不了中国政府和中国人民维护国家主权安全、维护香港繁荣稳定的决心和意志，任何妄想利用香港危害中国主权、安全、发展利益的图谋都绝不会得逞。

香港特区行政长官林郑月娥欢迎全国人大常委会通过香港国安法

"I am confident that after implementation of the National Security Law, the social unrest which has troubled Hong Kong people for nearly a year will be eased and stability will be restored, thereby enabling Hong Kong to start anew, focus on economic development and improve people's livelihoods," she said.
林郑月娥指出，有信心实施香港国安法后，困扰市民近一年的社会动荡可以减退，局面稳定下来，香港可以重新出发，聚焦发展经济、改善民生。
