Hong Kong youth representatives speak out in support of Hong Kong's national security and France's security at the United Nations Human Rights Council | Hong Kong | Youth
Geneva, June 24th (Xinhua) - Hong Kong Special Administrative Region youth representative Rong Shiyun gave a speech at the 53rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council on June 23rd, introducing the social development situation in Hong Kong after the implementation of the National Security Law, expressing the sincere support of the young generation in Hong Kong for "One Country, Two Systems".
Rong Shiyun stated that "One Country, Two Systems" enables Hong Kong to share the vast resources and huge market of the motherland while preserving its own socio-economic system and enjoying a high degree of autonomy. After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, society has returned to stability, laying an important foundation for future development. The claim that the legitimate rights of the Hong Kong people have been infringed upon by national security laws is purely defamatory.
Rong Shiyun stated that in fact, most Western countries have laws related to national security, which is a necessary condition for protecting the people, ensuring healthy economic development, and universal prosperity. According to the Basic Law of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance, all rights of the public are fully protected. Hong Kong is an international city, and we sincerely hope that the international community will continue to respect and support the views of Hong Kong youth.
