李慧琼稱《愛國主義教育法》不放基本法附件三 惟政府仍須推行
A three-day meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress began yesterday to consider a number of draft laws. The draft Patriotic Education Law of the People’s Republic of China says patriotic education will be provided for certain specific groups, including “Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots”. Amid public concern about how it would be implemented in Hong Kong, NPC Standing Committee member Lee Wai-king told reporters via video link today that, according to her understanding, the law would not be added to Annex III of the Basic Law. She also said local legislation might not be necessary and that the government should consider how to implement patriotic education itself.
一連三日的全國人大常委會會議昨日舉行，將審議多項草案，其中《中華人民共和國愛國主義教育法（草案）》提到，將針對個別特定人士展開愛國主義教育，包括「港澳台同胞」。坊間關注如何在香港實施，人大常委李慧琼今以視像形式見記者，稱據她了解，條例不會放進《基本法》附件三，她亦認為未必需要本地立法，要由政府自行思考如何推行愛國教育。

反修例後特首態度轉變 只在乎六四悼念是否違法
Chief Executive John Lee met the press before this morning’s Executive Council meeting. Asked whether he could publicly commemorate June 4 and whether people lighting candles in Victoria Park would be driven away, he did not answer directly. He said only that all public activities and individual conduct must comply with Hong Kong law, and that everyone must be responsible for their own actions. “If the police find that someone’s conduct does not comply with Hong Kong law, they will enforce the law decisively.” Light Media compared comments on the June 4 incident made by successive chief executives while in office, finding that since the anti-extradition bill movement, the two chief executives have focused only on whether June 4 commemorative activities are lawful and have no longer expressed personal views on the incident.
特首李家超在今早出席行會前會見記者，被問及個人可否公開悼念六四以及於維園點蠟燭會否被驅趕時，並未正面回應，只表示任何公眾活動或個人行為都要符合香港法律，每個人都要為自己的行為負責，「如果警方發現某人的行為不符合香港法律，他們會果斷執法」。《光傳媒》比較歷屆特首在任時對六四事件的評論，自反修例運動後，兩任特首只着眼在六四紀念活動是否合法，未再就事件表達個人立場。

梁美芬：展示「結束共產黨領導」標語或屬煽動 《港區國安法》已起震懾作用
Legislative Council member and Basic Law Committee member Starry Lee said on a television programme that displaying slogans containing the words “end Communist Party leadership” or “overthrow one-party dictatorship” could potentially constitute seditious conduct. With the Hong Kong National Security Law approaching its third anniversary, Lee said it had been “very effective” and was already having a deterrent effect.
立法會議員、基本法委員會委員梁美芬在一個電視節目表示，展示含「結束共產黨領導」或「打倒一黨專政」字眼的標語，已有機會屬於煽動行為。《港區國安法》立法將近三年，梁美芬認為已經「好有效」，目前已起震懾及阻嚇作用。

李家超：傷害香港和內地同胞的感情 陸頌雄：以歧視作軟對抗
A mainland passenger complained that a Cathay Pacific flight attendant had discriminated against him because he was not proficient in English. Cathay Pacific announced yesterday that it had dismissed the three flight attendants involved. Chief Executive John Lee, speaking at a forum in Guangzhou this morning, said he felt “extremely angry and disappointed”. He said he had told Cathay’s chief executive that the incident had “damaged Hong Kong’s image and hurt the feelings of Hong Kong and mainland compatriots”, describing it as a serious matter. Legislative Council member Luk Chung-hung of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions linked the incident to the “black-clad violence”, saying that although “the black-clad violence has subsided”, discrimination against mainland compatriots was still being used as “a form of soft resistance”. He urged the Government to legislate against intra-ethnic discrimination.
內地乘客投訴稱因不諳英語，遭國泰空姐歧視。國泰昨宣布解僱三名涉事空姐，行政長官李家超今早在廣州出席一個論壇時，稱感到「非常痛憤、失望」，他已向國泰行政總裁指出事件「破壞香港形象，傷害香港和內地同胞感情」，是嚴重的事件。工聯會立法會議員陸頌雄則將事件連繫上「黑暴」，稱「雖然黑暴偃旗息鼓」，但仍「以歧視我哋內地同胞嘅行為，作為一個軟對抗」，促請政府立法禁止族內歧視。

盧文端：泛民若再杯葛選舉 政治上「自尋死路、無可救藥」
Two years ago, after the Legislative Council electoral system was “improved”, a debate emerged over whether pan-democrats should stand for election. As the government’s study on “improving” the district council system reaches its final stage, the argument has been raised again. Lau Wai-tuen, vice-chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, wrote in Ming Pao today, defending the proposed introduction of appointed and indirectly elected seats to district councils. He also said that if pan-democrats mounted a “soft boycott” of the new electoral system as they did last time, it would “amount to cutting themselves off from Hong Kong’s elections” and would be politically “seeking their own destruction and beyond redemption”. He said there was “no reason” for the dozens of incumbent district councillors with pan-democratic backgrounds to give up standing for election.
前年「完善」立法會，出現泛民應不應該參選討論，政府「完善」區議會研究走到最後階段，論調又重提。全國僑聯副主席盧文端今日在《明報》撰文，除了為區議會擬引入委任及間選護航，再提出若泛民如上一次「軟性杯葛」新選制，將「等於自絕於香港的選舉」，政治上「自尋死路、無可救藥」。他又稱現任數十名泛民背景區議員，「沒有道理放棄參選」。

夏寶龍：遊行非唯一表訴求方式 稱民生訴求易被騎劫 盼港天天跑馬跳舞炒股搵錢
Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, attended the opening ceremony and themed seminar for National Security Education Day for All at the Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre yesterday morning during his inspection visit to Hong Kong. He said there were no “outsiders” in safeguarding national security, which was an unavoidable responsibility and duty, and that every resident should participate voluntarily. He delivered messages to six categories of people in particular (see Table 1). Addressing “all residents”, he said safeguarding national security was not inconsistent with expressing interests and demands, and that there were various channels and ways of doing so. He stressed that “rallies are not the only way to express interests and demands”, saying that demands concerning environmental protection and people’s livelihoods could easily be hijacked. He said Hong Kong should foster a strong atmosphere of inclusiveness and mutual assistance, seeking common ground while preserving differences, and rational communication. He also said he hoped Hong Kong would “hold exhibitions and conventions, develop innovation and technology, strive to boost the economy, race horses, dance, trade stocks and make big money every day”.
到港考察的港澳辦主任夏寶龍昨早到灣仔會展出席「全民國家安全教育日」開幕禮暨主題講座，提到維護國家安全無「局外人」，屬義不容辭責任與義務，每個居民應自覺參與。他特別寄語6類人（見表1），當中提到「全體居民」時，他說維護國安與表達利益訴求不矛盾，而表達渠道和方式各種各樣，強調「遊行不是表達利益訴求的唯一方式」，環保民生等訴求很易被騎劫，認為本港應形成包容共濟、求同存異、理性溝通的濃厚氛圍。他又說希望香港「天天辦會展、搞創科、拼經濟，跑馬、跳舞、炒股、搵大錢」。
