鄧炳強稱03年七一遊行是外部勢力「試點」 董建華當年聲明：立場與市民一致
Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung uploaded a video on social media recasting the history of demonstrations in Hong Kong since the handover, portraying several local protests as “national security incidents.” He said “external forces” had been plotting before the handover, that the 2003 July 1 march was a “pilot project,” and that the subsequent anti-national education protests, the 2014 Occupy Central movement and the 2019 protests against amendments to the extradition law had step by step “pushed Hong Kong in the direction of a colour revolution.” Records show that a statement by the Tung Chee-hwa administration on the 2003 July 1 march said that “the government’s position is the same as that of the public,” also emphasised human rights and democracy, and mentioned that it knew members of the public were suffering because of economic restructuring and unemployment, without mentioning “external forces” at all. At the July 1 march the following year, Tung’s administration further thanked the public for criticising the government, saying this enabled its governance to improve.
保安局長鄧炳強於社交網站上載短片，重塑香港回歸以來的遊行示威歷史，將多場本地遊行示威，闡述成「國家安全事件」。他表示「外部勢力」回歸前已「處心積慮」，2003年七一遊行是「試點」，之後的反國教、2014年佔中、以及2019年的反修例示威中，將香港一步步「推向顏色革命嘅方向」。翻查資料，董建華政府在2003年七一遊行的聲明，字眼是「政府的立場和市民是一致的」，同樣重視人權和民主，又提及知道市民因為經濟轉營和失業受苦，隻字未提「外部勢力」；在翌年的七一遊行，董的政府更感謝市民對政府的批評，令施政得以改善。

「軟對抗」後再添新詞 張志剛批移居外地反對派「遠對抗」
The Hong Kong government has repeatedly warned in recent months that some people are endangering national security through “soft resistance”. Today, Victor Chi Kong Cheung, a National Committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of the One Country, Two Systems Research Institute, proposed the new term “resistance from afar” in an article for Ming Pao. The article claimed that after large numbers of opposition figures moved abroad, they engaged in “resistance from afar” from overseas, stressing that the issue must be confronted seriously and cannot be addressed by relying on the methods used to quell the “black violence”. He said that “resistance from afar” was more a political problem than a national security problem.
港府近月多次警告，有人藉「軟對抗」危害國家安全，今日全國政協委員、一國兩制研究中心總裁張志剛在《明報》投稿，提出新詞「遠對抗」，文章聲稱大批反對派分子移居外地後，身處外地「遠對抗」，強調必須認真面對，不能依靠平息「黑暴」的手段來應對。他指，「遠對抗」更多屬於一種政治問題，多於國家安全問題。

譚耀宗批彭定康仍對香港「齮齮齕齕」 稱曾遭港英打壓拒借大會堂
Tam Yiu-chung, former Standing Committee member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice-president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, published a new book and held a sharing session at the Book Fair on Saturday. Tam said that when he was responsible for cultural and recreational activities at the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, he once applied to use City Hall but was refused: “We were singing and dancing, and weren’t talking about anything else, but they still wouldn’t let us. Everything was banned! Even that wasn’t allowed!” He criticised former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten for still “finding fault” with Hong Kong: “You keep talking about this and that! Look at your ancestors— even when we rented a venue, they suppressed us!”
前全國政協常委、全國港澳研究會副會長譚耀宗出版新書，周六在書展舉行分享會。譚耀宗提到，當年在工聯會負責文娛康樂活動，曾向大會堂申請場地卻遭拒批：「我哋唱歌跳舞，無講其他嘢都唔俾，都禁！咁樣都唔得！」他批評，前港督彭定康仍對香港「齮齮齕齕」：「又話呢樣嗰樣！你睇吓你啲祖宗，我哋租個場都俾佢打壓！」

國安法「泛化利用」討論急轉彎 「靖海侯」剎車 《大公》：誤讀可休矣
The mainland political blog “Jinghaihou（”, which has ties to official media, earlier published an article criticising Hong Kong officials and legislators for readily invoking the National Security Law, acting on the principle of “better to err on the side of the left than the right, regardless of the consequences”. This prompted some pro-establishment factions to echo the criticism and express their views. However, “Jinghaihou（” applied the brakes yesterday by publishing an article titled “Exploiting the Topic—Do Not Let It Become ‘Soft Resistance’”, saying that some people had overinterpreted and exploited its article, and changing its position to say that Hong Kong needs to continue setting things right. Ta Kung Pao appeared to put the matter to rest today by publishing a commentary titled “The ‘One Country, Two Systems’ Principle Is Its Greatest Distinctive Feature—Do Not Let Others Lead the Rhythm”, stating bluntly that “misreading” can stop, and saying that “people with ulterior motives setting the pace” is precisely a phenomenon and risk of “soft resistance”.
有官媒背景的內地政治博客「靖海侯」早前發表一篇文章，批評有港官和議員動輒利用國安法，做事「寧左勿右，不管後果」，引起建制部分派系「共鳴」抒發己見。不過「靖海侯」昨日剎車，再發表《借題發揮，莫成了「軟對抗」》一文，指有人過度解讀及借題發揮其文章，改稱香港有必要繼續撥亂反正。《大公報》今日一錘定音，刊登《「一國兩制」是最大獨特性 別讓人帶偏節奏》評論，直言「『誤讀』可以休矣」，又指有「別有用心人士帶節奏」，正正就是「軟對抗」的現象和風險。

鄭雁雄：習近平五部重要書籍繁體版在港發行具重要意義
The Traditional-Chinese editions of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China in the New Era (2023 Edition) and four books documenting President Xi Jinping’s work experience in local areas were launched in Hong Kong. A launch ceremony for the new books was held at the book fair on its first day.
In his address at the ceremony, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Zheng Yanxiong stressed that the publication and distribution in Hong Kong of the Traditional-Chinese editions of the five important books was highly significant. It would help Hong Kong compatriots deepen their understanding of the world situation and China’s national conditions, and enhance their understanding and grasp of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s governance concepts, new ideas, new thinking and new strategies, as well as its decisions and arrangements concerning Hong Kong. It would also help overseas readers deepen their understanding of China’s governance, China’s path and China’s governance model.
《習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想學習綱要（2023版）》和四部記述國家主席習近平在地方工作經歷的繁體版圖書在香港首發，於書展首日展期舉行新書首發式。
中聯辦主任鄭雁雄在儀式致辭時強調，五部重要書籍的繁體版在港出版發行，對幫助香港同胞加深，對世情、國情的認識增強對黨中央治國理政，新理念、新思想、新戰略，及涉港決策部署的領悟把握，對幫助海外讀者，加深對中國治理中國之路、中國之治的理解，具有重要的意義。

蔡展鵬連續兩月率團「內交」 參觀國企派出所了解國家文化歷史
Following a major reshuffle in the police force, Kan Kai-yin was appointed head of the Police National Security Department. Chin Pang Tsoi, who was previously Kan’s superior, continued as director of the Personnel and Training Department and was described as having reached a “career dead end.” The latest issue of Police Voice said that Chin Pang Tsoi led a 27-member exchange delegation to Zhuhai in June to meet frontline mainland public security officers, and also visited Chaoyang Police Station and a state-owned enterprise to learn about national development. This marked his second consecutive month of “mainland exchanges”; Police Voice had earlier reported that he led a delegation to visit the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department and met its director, Zhizhong Wang.

麥美娟：投票率受眾多因素影響如落雨打風

副國安部長董經緯接掌國安公署 2021年主持反諜座談 促抓「內奸」「幕後金主」
The State Council issued a press release yesterday appointing Deputy Minister of State Security Dong Jingwei as director of the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, succeeding Zheng Yanxiong, whose position became vacant in January after he became director of the Liaison Office. Chief Executive John Lee welcomed the appointment yesterday, saying that the HKSAR Government would continue to maintain communication and cooperation with the Office, implement the Hong Kong National Security Law, and fulfil Hong Kong’s responsibilities and obligations in safeguarding national security. Lau Siu-kai, an adviser to the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, said the appointment did not indicate that the central government’s national security policy towards Hong Kong would change, stressing that the Hong Kong National Security Law had clearly set out the Office’s role. He believed, however, that Dong’s national security background would help strengthen the training of Hong Kong national security personnel, provide more intelligence on threats to Hong Kong’s national security from external forces, and address shortcomings in handling Hong Kong’s national security affairs.
國務院昨發新聞稿，任命國安部副部長董經緯為中央駐港國安公署署長，接替今年1月因鄭雁雄出任中聯辦主任而懸空的職位。特首李家超昨對任命表示歡迎，稱特區政府將繼續與國安公署保持溝通和合作，執行《港區國安法》，履行本港維護國安的責任和義務。全國港澳研究會顧問劉兆佳分析，任命並非反映中央對港國安方針將出現變動，強調《港區國安法》已清晰列明公署角色；惟相信其國安背景，有助加強培訓本港國安人員，及就外部勢力對本港國安的威脅掌握更多情報，應對本港國安事務的不足。
