夏寶龍點名提醒履行職責 李家超速回：全力推進盡早就廿三條立法
Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, said in a speech in Beijing that, following implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, “working people in Hong Kong can go to work with peace of mind, students can go to school with peace of mind, and members of the public can go shopping and spend with peace of mind”, while the public can speak freely and “enjoy freedom and security”. He said the central authorities had authorised Hong Kong to assume primary responsibility for safeguarding national security, while the central authorities assumed ultimate “backstop” responsibility. Xia also singled out John Lee, saying he had noted that Lee’s Policy Address proposed advancing work on Article 23 legislation, and reminded him to “correctly exercise his statutory powers”. Lee subsequently said on Facebook and Weibo that he would “press ahead with all-out efforts” with preparations for enacting Article 23 legislation as soon as possible. Tam Yiu-chung, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, said he believed Article 23 could be enacted this year.
港澳辦主任夏寶龍在北京致辭談及香港《國安法》實施，稱香港「打工仔安心上班，學生安心上學，市民安心逛街消費」，市民暢所欲言「享受著自由與安全」。他指中央授權香港承擔維護國家安全的主要責任，中央則承擔最後「兜底」責任。夏寶龍又點名李家超，指注意到其《施政報告》提出推進廿三條立法工作，提醒他「正確行使自己的法定職權」。李家超隨即在Facebook及微博表示，將「全力推進」盡早就廿三條立法的準備工作。全國人大常委譚耀宗指，相信廿三條可以在今年內立法。

曾出反修例攝影集 日本攝影師被拒入境
Japanese photographer Michiko Kiseki, who documented the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement and released the protest photo book 《VOICE Hong Kong 2019》, posted on social media last Thursday (the 5th) that she was denied entry to Hong Kong at the end of last year. She said she was detained overnight before being sent back to Japan, lamenting that she had “personally felt that ‘Hong Kong’s freedom is gone.’” In response to an inquiry from HK01, the Immigration Department said it did not comment on individual cases and stressed that immigration cases were handled in accordance with the relevant laws.

陳穎欣倡設愛國電影資助計劃 去年曾拍片轟《正義迴廊》矮化警隊
Chan Wing-shan, a Legislative Council member of the Federation of Trade Unions, has recently taken an active interest in Hong Kong cinema. In a written question to the Legislative Council, she asked whether the Film Production Financing Scheme under the Film Development Fund had approved films containing elements of patriotism and modern Chinese history, whether “patriotism and history education” would be introduced as assessment criteria, and whether a new funding scheme would be established for this purpose. The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau did not directly respond on whether a new scheme would be created, but said it welcomed applications to the fund from people interested in producing content related to patriotism and the country’s history and culture. Last year, Chan made a video criticising The Sparring Partner for belittling the police force, and also criticised it for failing to acknowledge the government, which had provided funding.

國安委今開會討論人大釋法 未即時禁止Tim Owen參與國安法案件
Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai plans to hire British King’s Counsel Tim Owen to defend him in his National Security Law case. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu asked the National People’s Congress to interpret the law on whether overseas counsel may participate in National Security Law cases. The NPC ultimately reached no conclusion, instead referring the matter to the Hong Kong Committee for Safeguarding National Security, chaired by Lee. The committee met today and said it would fully implement the responsibilities set out in the interpretation. It did not immediately bar Tim Owen from participating in National Security Law cases, but said it supported amending the Legal Practitioners Ordinance.

涉反修例人士不獲發回鄉證 張欣宇稱不公：望內地部門協調
Following the resumption of travel between Hong Kong and the mainland a few days ago, Legislative Council member Gary Xinyu Zhang said at a media tea gathering today that people involved in the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement, including those who had been charged and those who were “kicked bail” after being arrested, had been unable to apply for Home Return Permits. He said the practice was unfair and had raised the matter with the Security Bureau, hoping mainland departments would approve the issuance of Home Return Permits; otherwise, it would be difficult for them to “move on”.

狄志遠上任百日「走數」未提政改 辯稱現時非適合時機
Legislative Council members elected after the “improvement” of the electoral system have been in office for a year. New Thinking, which describes itself as “non-establishment,” has released a work report. A newspaper’s tally of lawmakers’ voting preferences suggested that they were “all of one colour.” New Thinking chairman Tik Chi-yuen said whether the council was colourful was “a matter of opinion,” and said the low turnout in the Legislative Council election had resulted in a skewed range of voices and an insufficiently diverse political spectrum. New Thinking had previously said it would put forward electoral reform proposals to the government after 100 days in office, but ultimately “failed to deliver.” Tik explained that some “friends” had advised him that public demands for democracy were currently more “muted,” and that they should wait for a better time.
「完善」選舉制度後的立法會議員已經上任一年，自稱「非建制」的新思維發表工作報告。有報章統計議員投票意向，反映議員「清一色」，新思維主席狄志遠指五光十色與否「見仁見智」，指立法會選舉投票率很低，以致聲音傾斜令政治光譜不夠多元。對於新思維曾稱上任一百日時向政府提出政改，但最終「走數」，狄志遠解釋有「朋友」勸他，現時市民對民主訴求較「淡化」，要待更好時機。
