Lau Yip-keung says Xia Baolong rated Heung Yee Kuk highly, calling its 2019 clashes with “black violence” a show of courage and responsibility
劉業強指夏寶龍對鄉議局評價良好 19年與「黑暴」衝突屬勇於擔當
The Heung Yee Kuk recently visited Beijing and was received by Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Its chairman, Lau Yip-keung, said Xia fully affirmed the Heung Yee Kuk as a steadfast force that loves Hong Kong and the country: “Director Xia’s assessment of us was favourable. Of course, he also mentioned the Heung Yee Kuk’s glorious history, and he mentioned that during the ‘black violence’ in 2019, we clashed with people involved in the ‘black violence’, and that he regarded us as having the courage to shoulder responsibility.”
鄉議局早前訪問北京，獲港澳辦主任夏寶龍在釣魚台國賓館接見。主席劉業強表示，夏寶龍充分肯定鄉議局是堅定不移堅的愛港愛國力量：「夏主任對我哋評價都係良好。當然呢，佢都有提到我哋鄉議局一路嘅光輝歷史啦！都有提到喺19年黑暴，我哋即係都有同黑暴份子衝突啦，都係覺得我哋係勇於擔當啦。」
