Chief Secretary Eric Chan has warned against western efforts to damage peace and order in Hong Kong in the hope of undermining China's development.
Speaking on RTHK's NSL Chronicles III programme, Chan said the SAR's two pieces of security legislation had prevented foreign politicians from stirring up trouble here.
"There are still countries in the West, especially the United States, that are watching Hong Kong with a covetous eye. They hope to use different ways to destroy Hong Kong's peace and order, to ultimately undermine the nation's development," Chan said.
He described the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance as "medicine" to treat "illnesses", while underscoring the importance of "boosting Hong Kong's immunity" through patriotic education when it comes to national security.

Govt urged to ease property tax, investment rules
Govt urged to ease property tax, investment rules A local real estate leader says the government should cut property taxes to aid an industry rebound. Photo: RTHK The head of an association representing real estate developers in Hong Kong on Tuesday called on the government to cut property taxes and ease investment rules to prop up the sluggish market. The call comes ahead of the Chief Executive's Policy Address next month and as cash-strapped developers continue to reduce inventories by lowering prices. In an interview with RTHK, Stewart Leung, chairman of the executive committee of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong, said that while residential units valued at HK$4 million or below now enjoy a nominal stamp duty of HK$100, this could be extended to more expensive properties. "If you loosen the upper limit to be applied for properties valued at HK$6 million or below, up from the current HK$4 million, it will also attract potential buyers who are eyeing units valued around HK$6 million. "And when you have more people buying properties, you'll gain more stamp duty in the end, because even if you suffer losses in tax revenue in the short term, in the long term if there are more and more transactions, it will also make up for such losses," he said. Leung, who has spent over six decades in the real estate sector, said the association believes the current highest property tax rate of 4.25 percent for homes valued over HK$20 million is reasonable and needs no change. But he proposed the government revise the rules for those seeking residency in Hong Kong by investing HK$30 million or more under the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme. Under the scheme launched last year, up to HK$10 million of the minimum investment necessary can be accounted for by residential property, as long as the property in question is valued at HK$50 million or above. "For some investors, they might not only invest HK$50 million, they can even invest HK$500 million," Leung said. "But if you set a cap that only HK$10 million can be counted in the scheme to meet the minimum investment requirement, then the cap will not be attractive for them to invest in properties. So what we are proposing is why don't you raise the bar to HK$20 million, which could also drive the middle-class market." Leung said he forecasts the city's market will rebound and home prices could rise by four to five percent by the end of the year.

100 candidates pass nat. security vetting for Election Committee by-elections in Hong Kong
A total of 100 candidates have passed a national security screening to contest next month's Election Committee by-elections in Hong Kong, where they will compete for 93 seats on the powerful body that elects the city's leader. The Candidate Eligibility Review Committee – led by Chief Secretary Eric Chan – announced on Monday that the nominations of 100 candidates for the September 7 polls had been validated. One candidate was disqualified after passing away during the nomination period. Hong Kong authorities introduced a candidate vetting mechanism in 2021 as part of a sweeping overhaul to ensure only 'patriots' hold power in the city. The process begins with a police assessment of the candidate, followed by a decision from the Committee for Safeguarding National Security – which comprises top officials and an adviser from Beijing – on whether the candidate upholds the Basic Law and bears allegiance to Hong Kong. The Candidate Eligibility Review Committee then follows this opinion to determine whether the candidate's nomination is valid. It is estimated that nearly 80 per cent of the 93 vacancies across 28 sectors will be uncontested. The government projected in February that the polls would cost HK$233 million. Winners next month will get a say in the Legislative Council elections in December – a new power given to the committee after the 2021 overhaul. The revamp also saw the Election Committee expanded from 1,200 to 1,500 members. Separately, 10 new members will join the Election Committee through supplementary nominations by designated bodies, meaning no public polls will be held for these seats. The Candidate Eligibility Review Committee said there were 11 nominees in this category. Since designated bodies had indicated their preferred candidates, 10 were vetted and approved, while the eligibility of the remaining nominee was left undetermined. According to the voter registration statistics updated last month, the Election Committee subsectors have a total of 8,877 registered voters, including 5,567 group voters and 3,310 individual voters. The number dropped from 257,992 in 2020, as many individual voters, such as teachers, were no longer allowed to cast their ballots. Instead, they were represented by corporate voters. In March 2021, Beijing passed legislation to ensure 'patriots' govern Hong Kong. The move reduced democratic representation in the legislature, tightened control of elections and introduced a pro-Beijing vetting panel to select candidates. The Hong Kong government said the overhaul would ensure the city's stability and prosperity. But the changes also prompted international condemnation, as it makes it near-impossible for pro-democracy candidates to stand.

Dongjiang Column war comes to life in multi-media push
Dongjiang Column war comes to life in multi-media push The southern guerrilla movement made a significant contribution to victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Photo: RTHK Mainland and SAR scholars have hailed a newly renovated museum in Huizhou, Guangdong province that commemorates the history of the East River Column during Japan's invasion of China, saying it will help enhance the sense of national identity among youth. To mark the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the memorial hall of the East River, or Dongjiang, Column – a unit of anti-Japanese communist guerrillas that operated in Guangdong and Hong Kong – launched its revamped exhibitions this year following months of renovations. Speaking in an exclusive interview with RTHK, Ye Quan, director of research and planning at the memorial hall, said the exhibitions allow visitors to learn more about the histories of the guerrillas through the use of multi-media tools. "By utilising settings such as multi-media interactions, restorations of [war] scenes, theatres, coupled with the unique immersive experiences, we're enabling visitors to feel as if they are in the historical scenes as they can hear, touch and feel," he said. Zhang Qiulan, head of the hall's publicity team, said a major secret rescue mission by the guerrilla force from 1942 – after Japan began its occupation of Hong Kong – led 800 patriots and leading cultural figures from Hong Kong to the mainland, which helped protect Chinese cultural heritage. "[By learning about the history of East River Column], it could enable Hong Kong's youth to have deeper understanding about the close ties between the SAR and the mainland, while enhancing their sense of national identity and national pride," she told RTHK. SAR lawmaker and history professor Lau Chi-pang, a non-official member of the SAR's working group on patriotic education, said that while holding such commemorative events are among key tasks for the group this year, the events should not provoke anti-Japanese sentiments. "When it comes to the Sino-Japanese war, it's truly filled with family and national hatred. We shall not exaggerate the wars, but instead focus on the patriotic and heroic sacrifice of soldiers who participated in the war, which [to me] is the most profound learning experience," he told RTHK. Since its launch in 2003, the memorial hall has received an average of around 500,000 visitors each year, mainly from Guangdong and neighbouring regions.
