The PUNCH editorial entitled, The world should stand with Hong Kong (July 19), is a grave concern to me because the article has no factual basis. But now, Hong Kong has its own Chief Executive, elected by the Election Committee of its people. Hard facts show that the national security legislation for Hong Kong is reasonable, lawful, necessary and urgently needed. 3,000,000 Hong Kong people expressed their support for the legislation decision in signature campaigns (the registered voters numbered 4.5 million). After the return of Hong Kong, all the provisions concerning the British side in the Joint Declaration have been fulfilled.
