The decision on establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to safeguard national security has demonstrated the central government's confidence to firmly implement "One Country, Two Systems," Luo Huining, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in HKSAR, said on Saturday. 

Luo made the remarks while attending a symposium, soliciting opinions and suggestions on the adoption of the national security legislation for the HKSAR.

The National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature, on May 28 overwhelmingly adopted a decision on the national security legislation for the HKSAR.

Luo stressed that the decision is a milestone for the practice of "One Country, Two Systems" in the region. 

On Thursday, the liaison office has collected over 130 opinions about the national security legislation for the HKSAR. 

According to a notice published on the office's website on Friday, these opinions were collected from the NPC deputies and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from the HKSAR.

They will be handed in to the NPC Standing Committee, which has been entrusted to make national security laws to be promulgated and enforced in Hong Kong.

On the reason this step was taken, Lawrence Ma, executive council chairman of the Hong Kong Legal Exchange Foundation, shared his views for CGTN.
