長和賣港口｜集團深夜發聲明：交易絕不可能不合法、不合規進行
The sale of CK Hutchison Holdings’ ports has caused widespread controversy. At the beginning of the month, Ta Kung Pao published commentaries on two consecutive days attacking the group, warning that if CK Hutchison remained “obstinate” it would “end up battered and bruised” and that if it did not turn back, it would “certainly regret it too late”. The commentaries twice mentioned that, in addition to the Anti-Monopoly Law, national security laws could be used if necessary. Yesterday (12th), Ta Kung Pao published an interview with Hong Kong University Faculty of Law deputy dean Yun (EC Legal) Zhao, who was quoted as saying that the SAR Government could invoke the National Security Law to examine whether the transaction “cooperates with foreign forces to endanger national security”.
The group issued a statement late last night, saying that “the transaction absolutely cannot be conducted under any circumstances that are illegal or non-compliant”.
長和集團出售旗下港口引起軒然大波，《大公報》月初一連兩日發表時評炮轟，警告長和「執迷不悟將碰得頭破血流」、「再不回頭，一定後悔莫及」，兩度提及除了《反壟斷法》，必要時可用國安法律。《大公報》昨（12日）再刊登香港大學法律學院副長院趙雲訪問，引述其指特區政府可援引《國安法》，以審查交易是否「配合外國勢力危害國家安全」。
集團昨深夜發聲明，指「交易絕不可能在任何不合法或不合規的情況下進行」。

特區政府一日兩聲明 斥美國駐港總領事妄議香港 強烈不滿《福布斯》文章誤導
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued two statements within six hours yesterday (31st). It first condemned US Consul General to Hong Kong and Macao Gregory May, who said in an interview with the US media recently that Hong Kong people had lost various freedoms and described it as “the Hong Kong we once knew is gone”. The government said his remarks were groundless and untrue, constituted reckless commentary on Hong Kong, and maliciously smeared the laws enacted by the HKSAR Government to safeguard national security. In the evening, it issued another statement expressing strong dissatisfaction with a Forbes commentator’s article referring to changes in Hong Kong’s business environment.
特區政府昨日（31日）在6小時內分別發表兩篇聲明，首先譴責日前接受美國傳媒訪問時，表示港人失去多種自由、並形容「我們曾認識的香港已逝去」的美國駐港澳總領事梅儒瑞，稱其言論無稽失實、妄議香港，並惡意抹黑特區政府維護國家安全的法例；晚上再發聲明對《福布斯》一篇提及香港營商環境改變的評論員文章表示強烈不滿。

日聲明首次兩度對港局勢表示「深感憂慮」 阿古智子：看似提升警戒 但未明確表態
University of Tokyo political scholar Kawashima Shin analysed in an article published in The Diplomat last Thursday (18th) a statement issued by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law. He said it was the first time the statement had expressed “grave concern” twice, and considered its wording markedly different from previous statements. In an interview with Guang Chuan Media, Tomoko Ako, a professor at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, explained that “grave concern” did indicate that Japan was worried about its relations with Hong Kong. However, she questioned why Japan appeared to have substantially raised its level of alert without clearly stating its position on the Article 23 legislation. She said Japan should adopt a tougher stance towards China and hold the Chinese side accountable.
東京大學政治學者川島真（Kawashima Shin）上週四（18日）在《The Diplomat》投稿，分析日本外務省就《基本法》23條立法發表的聲明，指首次在聲明兩度表示「深感憂慮」（grave concern)，認為語氣跟以往明顯不同。東京大學「大學院綜合文化研究科」教授阿古智子接受《光傳媒》訪問時解釋，「Grave Concern」的確意味着日方憂慮與香港的關係，但她質疑日方看似大幅提升警戒級別，卻未有對23條立法明確表態，認為日方應對中國採取更強硬的立場，向中方問責。

【制裁 11 官】港府聲明再改「反送中」定性 一年前指「修例引起示威衝突」 今稱「反政府動亂」
The US Treasury Department yesterday (7th) announced a sanctions list of 11 people, including Chief Executive Carrie Lam, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government Luo Huining, Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Xia Baolong, and Commissioner of Police Tang Ping-keung, as well as several current and former mainland and Hong Kong officials. At 12:35 p.m. today (8th), the Hong Kong government first issued an English statement in response, describing the US action as “shameless and despicable”. The Chinese-language statement was released two and a half hours later. Both versions for the first time described the anti-extradition movement since June last year as “anti-government riots” and “反政府動亂”. A review of government press releases shows that its characterisation of the movement has continued to change, from “protest clashes” last year, to “protest activities”, then “violence and riots”, and finally today’s “anti-government riots”.
美國財政部昨日（7 日）公布「制裁 11 人」名單，包括特首林鄭月娥、中聯辦主任駱惠寧、港澳辦主任夏寶龍、警務處處長鄧炳強等多名現任或前任中港官員。港府則於今日 (8 日) 中午 12 時 35 分先發表英文聲明回應，形容美方做法是「shameless and despicable」（卑劣無恥）。中文版聲明則於兩個半小時後才發布。兩版本聲明均首次以「anti-government riots」及「反政府動亂」形容去年 6 月以來的反送中運動。翻查政府新聞稿，可見政府對反送中運動的「定性」一直調整，由去年「示威衝突」演變成「抗爭活動」，到「暴力、動亂」，最後演變為今日的「反政府動亂」。
