Marking One Year of Hong Kong’s National Security Law
香港国安法实施一周年
Over the past year, People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Hong Kong officials
have systematically undermined Hong Kong’s democratic institutions, delayed
elections, disqualified elected lawmakers from office, and forced officials to
take loyalty oaths to keep their jobs. Since protests began in 2019, local
authorities have arrested thousands for speaking out against government
policies with which they disagreed, including for their social media posts and
for attending vigils. Journalists have been arrested simply for doing their
jobs in reporting on the government’s activities and repressive efforts
against protesters. Hong Kong authorities have mounted a persistent and
politically motivated campaign against the free press, imprisoned Apple Daily
founder Jimmy Lai, and forced the closure of that publication – a bastion of
independent reporting. Beijing has chipped away at Hong Kong’s reputation of
accountable, transparent governance and respect for individual freedoms, and
has broken its promise to leave Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy unchanged
for 50 years.
过去一年,中华人民共和国与香港官方系统性的破坏了香港的民主制度,
他们延迟选举,褫夺已当选议员的资格, 还强迫官员宣誓效忠否则就会丢掉工作.
自从2019年的抗争以来,香港当局逮捕了数千位公开反对政府政策的异议者,无论社群媒体
的贴文或参加守夜活动都无法幸免. 记者只因忠实工作,报导了政府对抗争者的镇压就受到
逮捕.
香港当局已建构了一套基于政治目的持续打压新闻自由的系统. 香港的苹果日报是新闻独
立的堡垒,而他们监禁了创办人黎智英,还强迫苹果停刊.
北京不断的侵蚀著香港政府透明,负责与尊重个人自由的良好声誉,并破坏了自己"香港高度
自治五十年不变"的承诺.
We will continue to stand up for the rights and freedoms guaranteed to people
in Hong Kong by the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law. In the
face of Beijing’s decisions over the past year that have stifled the
democratic aspirations of people in Hong Kong, we are taking action. Today we
send a clear message that the United States resolutely stands with Hong Kongers
.
美国将继续支持《中英联合声明》和《基本法》所保障的权利与自由.
针对北京过去一年来扼杀香港人对民主的渴望,我们正采取行动.
今天,我们发出了一个明确的讯号展示合众国将坚定地与香港人站在一起.
Promoting Accountability: The Department of State has designated Chen Dong,
Yang Jianping, Qiu Hong, Lu Xinning, Tan Tieniu, He Jing, and Yin Zonghua, who
are Deputy Directors of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government
of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (LOCPG). The LOCPG is the PRC’
s main platform for projecting its influence in Hong Kong and has repeatedly
undermined the high degree of autonomy promised for Hong Kong in the Sino –
British Joint declaration. The seven officials are being designated under
Executive Order 13936.
责任追究
国务院指派了 陈冬, 杨建平, 仇鸿, 卢新宁, 谭铁牛, 何靖, 尹宗华
作为"中央人民政府驻香港特别行政区联络办公室(香港中联办)"的副主任
香港中联办是中华人民共和国在香港投射影响力的主要平台,它不断侵蚀《中英联合声明》
所赋予香港的高度自治.
美国已根据第13963号行政命令制裁这七位官员.
Transparency: Hong Kong’s business environment has deteriorated in the past
year. The many legal, financial, operational, and reputational risks long
present in mainland China are now increasingly prevalent in Hong Kong. A
healthy business and investment climate requires a transparent regulatory
framework and adherence to the rule of law. Today, the Department of State,
together with the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security,
and the Department of the Treasury, released a Business Advisory warning of
increased risks for businesses in Hong Kong. These risks include those
introduced by the National Security Law and other new legislation, potential
electronic surveillance and lack of data privacy, reduced access to information
, and potential retaliation against companies for their compliance with U.S.
sanctions. The business advisory outlines these emerging risks to inform U.S.
individuals and businesses and recommends increased awareness and due diligence
.
透明度
香港的商业环境在过去一年大幅恶化. 长期存在中国大陆的那些对法律,财务,营运与声誉
上的风险,如今普遍扩展到了香港.
健康的商业与投资环境需要一个透明的监管框架与对法治的坚守.
今天,美国国务院与商业部,国土安全部及财政部共同发布了商业警示,警告香港的企业风险
提升. 这些风险包含香港国安法与其他法规,缺乏数位隐私与潜在的数位监控,更少的资讯
揭露,以及对美国企业潜在的报复性制裁.
商业警示指出了这些对个人与企业的新兴风险,并建议提升警觉与尽职调查(due diligence
).
