NPC deliberates Patriotic Education Law | John Lee: Hong Kong Government will align with requirements | commentator Lau Yui-siu: young people and children will receive “greater attention”
全國人大常委會將審議《中華人民共和國愛國主義教育法（草案）》（下稱草案），是中國首次立法規管愛國教育，內容更涵蓋港澳台人士及海外僑胞。行政長官李家超今出席行政會議前表示，無論人大常委通過的法例是否在港適用，「港府都會對接國家對愛國主義教育的要求」。時事評論員劉銳紹預料，方案特別強調的青少年、學生和教職員將受到「較大關顧」。
The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress will deliberate the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Patriotic Education (Draft), the country’s first legislation regulating patriotic education. Its provisions also cover people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as overseas Chinese. Before attending the Executive Council meeting today, Chief Executive John Lee said that regardless of whether the law passed by the NPC Standing Committee applies in Hong Kong, “the Hong Kong Government will align with the country’s requirements for patriotic education”. Current affairs commentator Lau Yui-siu expected that young people, students and teaching staff, who are given particular emphasis in the draft, would receive “greater attention”.

【Vacuum period】NPC to announce decision today; Sing Tao says all lawmakers to have terms extended by one year; Ip Kwok-him: Disappointed but must act according to the law
全國人大常委會會議今日預料公布有關香港立法會未來一年「真空期」安排。國務院港澳辦主任夏寶龍日前提請人大審議的決議案，標題有「第六屆立法會繼續運作」的字眼，《星島日報》今日頭版引述消息報道，議案容許第六屆全體立法會議員延任一年，包括四名參選立法會被 DQ 的現任議員，即公民黨三名議員郭榮鏗、楊岳橋、郭家麒，以及會計界梁繼昌。
The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress is expected to announce today arrangements for Hong Kong’s Legislative Council during the coming one-year “vacuum period”. The draft resolution submitted for deliberation by Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, reportedly contains the wording “the Sixth Legislative Council to continue operating”. Sing Tao Daily reported on its front page today, citing sources, that the proposal would allow all Sixth-term Legislative Council members to extend their terms by one year. This would include four incumbent legislators who were disqualified from standing for election to the Legislative Council: the Civic Party’s Dennis Kwok Wing-hang, Alvin Yeung Ngok-kiu and Kwok Ka-ki, and accountancy-sector lawmaker Kenneth Leung.
