黎智英被裁罪成 港澳辦批「馬前卒」特首指「可恥歹毒」 多國反對譴責促釋放
After being held on remand for five years, Jimmy Lai was convicted of conspiracy to collude with external forces and other offences. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, the Liaison Office and the Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong criticised Lai as a “pawn of anti-China forces” and a “traitor to China and national enemy”. Chief Executive John Lee said Lai had harmed the country’s fundamental interests and the welfare of residents, and that “his conduct was shameful and his intentions vicious”.
The United Kingdom, Australia and the European Union opposed and condemned the verdict, while the Congressional-Executive Commission on China called for Lai’s unconditional release. The Foreign Ministry said it was strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to certain countries’ open denigration and smearing of Hong Kong’s judicial system. International press groups said the verdict undermined press freedom, a claim the Hong Kong government rebutted.

英國、澳洲及歐盟反對及譴責裁決，美國的中國委員會要求無條件釋放黎。外交部指，強烈不滿和堅決反對個別國家公然詆毀抹黑香港司法。國際新聞團體指裁決損害新聞自由，港府予以反駁。

黎智英勾結外力罪成 9人明年1.12求情 港澳辦港府批黎 英澳歐盟譴責反對裁決
In the national security case against Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai, three High Court-designated judges ruled on Monday (15th) that Lai was guilty on three charges involving conspiracy to collude with external forces and incitement. He faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Lai and the other eight defendants were remanded in custody until mid-January next year for mitigation submissions, and the judges said they would announce the sentencing date as soon as possible. Lai’s wife and lawyers did not respond to the verdict. His children in the UK said they were saddened and worried that their father’s health would deteriorate.
In their judgment, the judges said Lai had harboured resentment towards China for many years and that, both before and after the implementation of the National Security Law, his sole intention was to seek the downfall of the Chinese Communist Party, even at the expense of the interests of the Chinese and Hong Kong people. The judges described Lai’s hatred of the Chinese Communist Party as extremely intense, saying it remained strong even when he gave evidence in court. They ultimately ruled that, in pursuit of his political objectives, Lai conspired separately with Apple Daily executives and the “Chung Kwong team” to incite and collude with external forces, with the aim of weakening the authority of the Chinese and Hong Kong governments and seeking foreign sanctions.
Various parties responded after the verdict. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office described Lai as a “pawn, traitor and national enemy”, while Chief Executive John Lee said Lai had harmed the national interest and condemned him as “shameful and vicious”. The UK, Australia and the European Union condemned and opposed the verdict, while the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China called for Lai’s release. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong dissatisfaction at what it called open smearing and vilification, and urged that there be no interference. The Hong Kong government also rebutted the criticism, saying the case had nothing to do with press freedom.
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英國安案，3 名高院指定法官周一（15 日）裁定黎串謀勾結外力、煽動 3 罪成，他最高可被判囚終身。黎與另 8 被告續還押至明年一月中處理求情，官指盡快公布判刑日期。黎妻及律師未回應裁決，黎在英國的子女則稱感悲傷，憂父健康惡化。
法官在判詞指，黎長年對中國心懷怨恨，指他無論在《國安法》實施前後，唯一意圖是尋求中共倒台，即使要犧牲中國人民、香港人的利益也在所不惜。官形容，黎對中共極為仇恨，甚至在他出庭作供時，仇恨依然強烈，最後裁定黎為求達到政治目的，分別與《蘋果》高層、「重光團隊」串謀煽動及勾結外力，以削弱中港政府的權威，以及尋求外國制裁。
各方在裁決後回應，港澳辦形容黎為「馬前卒、漢奸國賊」，特首李家超指黎損國家利益，批「可恥、歹毒」。英、澳、歐盟譴責及反對裁決，美國的中國委員會促釋放黎。外交部指強烈不滿公然詆毀抹黑，敦促不得干預，港府亦反駁指案件無關新聞自由。

立法會選舉｜港澳辦轉載評論：不存在祝福名單 也沒有穩贏躺贏
The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office reposted a commentary article on Monday (November 3), saying that although the nomination period for the Legislative Council election was still under way, this election had already displayed several notable features, including fiercer competition, higher requirements for candidates and greater uncertainty. The article stressed that there was not only no so-called “blessed list”, but also no “guaranteed-win list”. “No one has any certainty, and everyone has a chance” was a feature of this election, while its uncertainty was unprecedented.
港澳辦周一（11月3日）轉載一篇評論文章，指雖然立法會選舉提名期仍然持續，但今屆立選已經展現出多個看點，包括競爭更加激烈、對參選人的要求更高，以及選舉的不確定性更高。文章強調，不但沒有所謂「祝福名單」，更沒有什麽「穩勝名單」，「個個無把握，人人有機會」是今屆選舉一個特點，選舉的不確定性史無前例。

港澳辦4日內3度轉載《大公文匯》文章批美國新任駐港澳總領事伊珠麗
Shortly after taking office, US Consul General in Hong Kong and Macao Julie Eadeh drew political attention by inviting former Chief Secretary for Administration Anson Chan and former Democratic Party legislator Emily Lau to a welcome event. Last week, the central Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office reposted Ta Kung Pao–Wen Wei Po articles three times in four days, condemning Eadeh for colluding with elements seeking to destabilise Hong Kong. Chief Executive John Lee said today (30th) that he hoped every consul posted in Hong Kong would do “constructive things” rather than “destructive things”.
At a press conference before the Executive Council meeting this morning, Lee reiterated that consuls have a responsibility to abide by relevant international conventions and diplomatic practices, and to perform their duties in a manner befitting their status as diplomats. They must not, under any pretext or in any form, interfere in China’s internal affairs or Hong Kong affairs, and should respect China’s sovereignty and the rule of law in Hong Kong. He said he hoped every consul posted in Hong Kong would do “constructive things” rather than “destructive things”.
美國駐港澳總領事伊珠麗（Julie Eadeh）甫上任，便因在歡迎活動邀請前政務司司長陳方安生、前民主黨議員劉慧卿出席而引起政壇關注。中央港澳辦上周更在4日內3度轉載《大公文匯》文章，炮轟伊珠麗勾結亂港分子。行政長官李家超今（30日）回應，希望任何駐港領事都做「建設性的事」，不要做「破壞性的事」。
李家超今早於行政會議前的記者會重申，領事有責任恪守有關國際公約和外交慣例，以符合外交官身分的方式履行職務，不得以任何藉口或形式干涉中國內政和香港事務，應該尊重中國主權和香港法治。他希望，任何駐港領事都做「建設性的事」，不要做「破壞性的事」。

同性伴侶登記制｜「愛國者」議會 首次否決政府法案 港澳辦：證明立法會不是橡皮圖章
After being “improved”, the Legislative Council implementing “patriots governing Hong Kong” yesterday (10th) rejected a government bill for the first time, voting by a large majority against the Same-Sex Couples’ Relationship Registration Bill and failing to pass its second reading. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said that protecting the rights of same-sex couples was a highly complex issue, and that the bill’s introduction, deliberation and vote showed that all sides in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region had handled it “in accordance with the law, prudently and appropriately”. It said the bill’s rejection was not inconsistent with the Legislative Council’s support for the government’s administration, and proved that the Legislative Council was not a “rubber stamp”. It also warned against people with ulterior motives manipulating the issue and politicising it to obstruct Hong Kong’s progress from stability to prosperity.
被「完善」後，實施「愛國者治港」立法會，昨（10日）首次否決了政府的法案，以大比數反對《同性伴侶關係登記條例草案》，未能通過二讀。港澳辦發文指，同性伴侶權利保障是非常複雜的問題，從條例的提出、審議和表決，可以看到香港特區各方對問題的處理「依法、穩妥、恰當」，否決法案與立法會支持政府施政並不相悖，亦證明立法會不是「橡皮圖章」；又指要注意一些別有用心的人操弄議題政治化，阻撓香港實現由治及興。

中聯辦、港澳辦、駐港國安公署譴責制裁稱如「廢紙」 美國駐港領事：不容跨境鎮壓
The United States announced sanctions against six Hong Kong and mainland officials, including Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok and Dong Jingwei, director of the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR. The Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, and the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR strongly condemned the sanctions. The Liaison Office said the United States had exposed its sinister intention to disrupt Hong Kong and contain China, but was bound to achieve nothing, adding that the HKSAR was tackling acts endangering national security in accordance with the law.
The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said the sanctions were merely “another piece of waste paper”, stressing that financial events in Hong Kong over the past week had attracted investors from around the world and represented an international “vote of confidence” in Hong Kong. The national security office said the sanctions would only strengthen the resolve of the central and HKSAR governments to safeguard national security, describing them as “waste paper no matter how many sanctions are imposed” and saying they would not obstruct Hong Kong’s prosperity.
A group of Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress members, including Legislative Council members Holden Chow, Chan Wing-yan, Chan Hok-fung, Yim Man-wai and Lam Lam, protested outside the US Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macao. They condemned the US sanctions and opposed the US government’s interference in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs.
US Consul General in Hong Kong and Macao Gregory May said on social media that the mainland and Hong Kong governments were continuing to undermine the rule of law, adding that “the US will not tolerate transnational repression in the United States or targeting US citizens.”
美國宣布制裁6名香港及内地官員，包括律政司長林定國、中央駐港國安公署署長董經緯。中聯辦、港澳辦、中央駐港國安公署均強烈譴責制裁，中聯辦稱美國暴露其亂港遏華的險惡用心，但注定徒勞無功，表示特區依法打擊危害國安者。
港澳辦稱制裁不過「再多一張廢紙」，並強調過去一周香港的金融盛事吸引全球投資者，是國際對香港投下「信心票」。中央駐港國安公署表示，制裁只會堅定中央與特區維護國安的決心，形容「制裁再多仍是廢紙」，不會阻擋香港繁榮。
一批民建聯成員，包括立法會議員周浩鼎、陳勇、陳學鋒、顏汶羽及林琳等則到美國駐港澳總領事館示威，譴責美國政制裁，反對美國政府干涉香港事務和中國內政。
美國駐港澳總領事梅儒瑞則在社交媒體表示，内地及香港政府持續破壞法治，「美方不會容忍在美國本土或針對美國公民的跨國鎮壓（transnational repression）」。

北京「借刀」狠批李嘉誠對美財團出售港口 長和開市跌6%
CK Hutchison earlier announced a HK$100-billion-plus “mega-deal” to sell its port operations outside mainland China and Hong Kong to a consortium led by US investment firm BlackRock, including stakes in two ports in Panama. The transaction is expected to generate nearly HK$150 billion in cash, while foreign media have reported that Li Ka-shing, the founder of the CK Hutchison group, was personally involved. The State Council Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office website reproduced a commentary from Ta Kung Pao saying that some internet users viewed the transaction as “spineless and profit-driven,” and described it as “disregarding national interests and the greater good of the Chinese people, and betraying and selling out all Chinese people.” It said such sentiments were “completely understandable” and urged the “relevant enterprise” to think carefully about “which side it stands on.”
長和早前宣布千億「大刁」，向美國貝萊德牽頭的財團出售內地和香港以外的港口服務，包括巴拿馬兩個港口的權益，預料套現近1,500億港元，外媒更報道今次交易由長和系創辦人李嘉誠親身參與。國務院港澳辦網站轉載《大公報》一篇評論文章，內容稱有網民認為該宗交易是「沒有腰骨，唯利是圖」，更稱交易是「漠視國家利、民族大義，背叛和出賣全體中國人」，情緒「完全可以理解」，更呼籲「有關企業」要好好思考自己「站在哪一邊」。

港澳辦、建制派發文斥攻擊抹黑法治 岑耀信續受訪稱香港民主處「維生狀態」
After former UK Supreme Court justice Jonathan Sumption resigned early as an overseas non-permanent judge of Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal, he gave a series of interviews criticising Hong Kong’s rule of law and the verdict in the Hong Kong 47 case.
The Hong Kong and Macao Work Office published an article on Wednesday (12th), accusing Sumption of attacking and smearing Hong Kong’s rule of law. It said that “putting politics above facts and the law is biased political speculation and malicious political hype”, and accused him of making a “180-degree turn” from his position in 2021, criticising him for “willingly serving external forces to interfere in Hong Kong affairs”. The pro-establishment camp also rebutted Sumption in newspaper articles.
Sumption also gave an interview to the UK’s Sky News, saying that after the National Security Law, life had become difficult in Hong Kong for those who opposed government policies and pursued democracy. He again denied that he was discussing politics, saying he was pointing out how politics affected the judiciary. He described Hong Kong’s democracy as not having disappeared, but as being “on life support”.
英國最高法院前法官岑耀信（Jonathan Sumption）提早辭任香港終審法院海外非常任法官後，接連受訪批評香港法治及 47 人案裁決。
港澳辦周三（12 日）刊載文章，指岑耀信攻擊及抹黑香港法治，「以政治淩駕事實和法律，是充滿偏見的政治臆斷和惡意的政治炒作」，又指他與 2021 年時「180° 大轉彎」，批評「心甘情願為外部勢力干預香港事務效力」。建制派亦在報章反駁岑耀信。
岑耀信亦接受英國《天空新聞台》訪問，指《國安法》後，在香港反對政府政策、追求民主者的生活變得艱難，他再次否認自己談論政治，稱是要點出政治如何影響司法。他又形容，香港的民主雖未消逝，但處於「維生狀態」（it is on life support）。

【23條立法】立法會全票通過 李家超稱市民「馬照跑舞照跳」、收入將更好
After nearly 10 hours of resumed debate at the second-reading stage, the Legislative Council passed the Safeguarding National Security Bill by 89 votes to none in the evening. Legislative Council President Andrew Leung also voted in favour, breaking the convention of not voting. Chief Executive John Lee then entered the chamber as pre-arranged and said Hong Kong had finally fulfilled its constitutional responsibility and “historic mission” of legislating under Article 23. He also made a number of pledges about Hong Kong’s prospects after the legislation, saying that people’s way of life would remain unchanged, with “racing horses and dancing”, and that Hong Kong would have an “infinitely brighter future”, with residents enjoying better incomes and better care.
After the bill was passed at the third-reading stage, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and the Liaison Office issued articles congratulating its successful passage, saying they would promote Hong Kong’s accelerated transition from stability to prosperity. The non-official members of the Executive Council also issued a statement welcoming the development.

在立法會三讀通過《維護國家安全條例草案》後，港澳辦和中聯辦發表文章祝賀《條例草案》順利通過，表示將推動香港加快實現由治及興。另外行政會議非官守議員亦發聲明表示歡迎。
