近日，出席十三届全国人大四次会议的解放军和武警部队代表团分组审议《全国人民代表大会关于完善香港特别行政区选举制度的决定（草案）》。军队代表们在发言中表示，人民军队坚决拥护这一重大决策部署，坚决维护国家主权、安全、发展利益。
BEIJING, Mar. 10 -- Recently, the delegation of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and Chinese People’s Armed Police (PAP) Force attending the fourth session of the 13th National People’s Congress (NPC) deliberated the draft decision on improving the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) in groups. Military deputies said in their speeches that the armed forces firmly support this major decision and deployment and will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.
代表们谈道，必须看到，近几年反中乱港势力和本土激进分离势力的行为和活动，严重损害香港特别行政区的宪制秩序和法治秩序，严重挑战宪法、香港基本法权威，严重危害国家主权、安全、发展利益，严重破坏香港社会大局稳定，必须予以坚决反对并采取有力措施防范和化解风险。 2019年香港发生“修例风波”以来，面对香港回归后出现的严峻局势，中央制定实施香港国安法，依法惩治反中乱港分子，迅速止暴制乱，引领香港局势实现由乱转治的重大转折，有力维护了国家安全和香港社会稳定。
The deputies said that the actions and activities of the anti-China disrupters and radical Hong Kong separatists in recent years have seriously damaged the constitutional order and the rule of law in the HKSAR, seriously challenged the authority of the Constitution and the Basic Law of the HKSAR, and seriously undermined national sovereignty, security and development interests as well as the overall stability of the Hong Kong society. Such actions must be resolutely opposed and effective measures must be taken to prevent and defuse risks. Since Hong Kong's ordinance amendment issue in 2019, the central government has formulated and implemented the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to punish anti-China and radical Hong Kong separatist forces in accordance with the law. It quickly achieved the major turning point in Hong Kong from chaos to governance, effectively safeguarding national security and Hong Kong’s social stability, said the deputies.
代表们认为，继去年出台实施香港国安法后，从国家层面修改完善香港特别行政区有关选举制度，是坚持和完善“一国两制”制度体系，全面落实“爱国者治港”原则的必要之举，是维护国家主权、安全、发展利益和香港长期繁荣稳定的必要之举，势在必行，意义重大。
The deputies believed that following the promulgation and implementation of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region last year, revising and improving the relevant electoral system of the HKSAR at the national level is a necessary move to uphold and improve the “one country, two systems” principle and fully implement the principle of “patriots administrating Hong Kong”. It is necessary and imperative to safeguard national sovereignty, security, development interests, and the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.
代表们表示，中国在前进道路上仍面临着许多难关和挑战、风险和考验，安全形势更加严峻复杂。人民军队要全面加强练兵备战，统筹应对各方向各领域安全风险，提高捍卫国家主权、安全、发展利益的战略能力。
The deputies expressed that China still faces many difficulties and challenges ahead with a severe security situation. The Chinese military must comprehensively strengthen the military training and combat preparations, respond to security risks in all directions and fields in a coordinated manner, and improve the strategic capability to defend national sovereignty, security and development interests.
