原文、译文及笔记

「1」

As Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, I welcome this opportunity to state our position on the enactment of national security legislation for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. National security is invariably under the purview of the central authorities, be it in China or any othercountries. In all countries, the power to legislate on national security rests solely with the central government. Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China – a special administrative region enjoying a high degree of autonomy which comes directly under the Central Government.作为中华人民共和国香港特别行政区行政长官，我希望借此机会阐述有关香港特别行政区维护国家安全法律的立场。无论是在中国还是在任何其他国家，国家安全均属中央事权。在所有国家，就国家安全立法的权力都属于中央政府。香港是中国不可分离的部分，是一个享有高度自治权的地方行政区域，直辖于中央人民政府。

As an exceptional arrangement under the policy of "One Country, Two Systems", the Basic Law governing the two Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao obliges the SAR to enact local legislation on its own to safeguard national security. Macao has successfully completed this task in 2009. Hong Kong, after a failed attempt in 2003, has not been able to fulfil its constitutional duty. For the sake of not only the 7.5 million Hong Kong residents, but also the 1.4 billion people in the Chinese mainland, the question of how long we could tolerate such a gaping holein national security has to be asked, and answered.作为在“一国两制”方针下的特别安排，香港和澳门两个特别行政区的《基本法》要求特区自行立法以维护国家安全。澳门在二零零九年完成了这项工作;香港在二零零三年曾尝试立法但未能完成，至今仍未能履行其宪制责任。国家安全影响的是包括750万香港居民在内的全国14亿同胞，我们能对这个存在于香港的国家安全漏洞长期容忍吗?

Legislation to safeguard national security is now urgently needed. Since last June, HongKong has been traumatized byescalating violence fannedby external forces. The threats of terrorist acts posed by illegal possession of explosives and firearms and the horrible menace faced by innocent Hong Kong people were recapped by my senior Police colleague Oscar Kwok and a prominent businesswoman Pansy Ho respectively when they spoke at this forum in March thisyear and September last year. Once rated as one of the safest cities in theworld, security and stability have become relevant concerns.立法维护国家安全的需要现在迫在眉睫。自去年六月，在外部势力煽动下，暴力不断升级，香港饱受创伤。我的高级警务同事郭荫庶和知名女商人何超琼分别于今年三月和去年九月在本理事会上发言，他们阐述了多宗涉及非法藏有弹药和枪械的案件构成的恐怖主义风险，以及无辜的香港市民受到的可怕威胁。香港曾被评为世界上最安全的城市之一，但今天安全和稳定已成为备受关注的议题。

During thisperiod, groups advocating "Hong Kong independence" and"self-determination" incited protesters,very often radicalized young people, to desecrate and burn the national flag, vandalize the national emblem and storm the Central Government's office in Hong Kong. Further, some local politicians proclaimed that they would paralyze the HongKong SAR Government while others campaigned for foreign governments tointerfere in Hong Kong's affairs or even to impose sanctions on Hong Kong. Nocentral government could turn a blind eye to such threats to sovereignty andnational security as well as risks of subversion of state power.在同一段时间，鼓吹“港独”、“自决”的组织煽动示威者，很多时候是被激进化的青少年，公然污蔑国旗、损毁国徽和冲击中央驻港机构。此外，部分本地政客多次扬言要瘫痪香港特区政府施政，更有部分乞求外国政府干预香港事务，甚至对香港实施制裁。这些对主权和国家安全的威胁，以及颠覆国家政权的风险，任何中央政府都不能视而不见。

All in all,these acts have crossed the "One Country" red line and called forresolute action. As the highest organ of state power in China, the NationalPeople's Congress has the constitutional power and the duty to enact nationalsecurity legislation for the Hong Kong SAR. The national law to be enacted hastaken into account Hong Kong's actual situation and will be applied in HongKong by way of promulgation in accordance with the Basic Law. The legislationaims to prevent, curb and punish acts of secession,subversion of state power, terrorist activities, and collusion with foreign orexternal forces to endanger national security.简而言之，这些行为已经触碰了“一国”的红线，必须采取果断行动。全国人民代表大会是中国最高的权力机关，拥有宪制权力及责任为香港特别行政区制定国家安全法律。将制定的全国性法律已结合香港特区具体情况，并将根据《基本法》在香港公布实施。法律旨在防范、制止和惩治任何分裂国家、颠覆国家政权、恐怖活动、勾结外国或者境外势力危害国家安全的行为。
