Recently, Chief Superintendent Li Guihua of the Hong Kong Police Force announced at a press conference that the wanted list has been updated, involving 5 absconding overseas persons suspected of violating the National Security Law, namely Cheng Wenjie, Xu Yingting, Shao Lan, Fok Ka-chi and Cai Mingda. Li Guihua pointed out that the five people have all committed different crimes under the National Security Law, and the National Security Department has applied to the court for arrest warrants. In order to hunt down these absconding persons, a bonus of HK$1 million was offered, and the public was urged to actively provide clues.
It is reported that Zheng Wenjie's suspected crimes include "inciting the country" and "colluding with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger the country". From August 2020 to June 2022, he co-founded a number of political organizations with others, and promoted the idea of "**" many times through social platforms. In addition, between July 2020 and July 2023, he also called on foreign countries to impose sanctions on China and Hong Kong, as well as other hostile actions, through different platforms and forms.
Similarly, Xu Yingting and Shao Lan are also suspected of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law "collusion with foreign countries or external forces to endanger ***". Over the past year or so, they have repeatedly requested foreign countries to impose sanctions, blockades, and other hostile actions against China through different platforms and methods.
In addition, Huo Jiazhi and Cai Mingda are suspected of committing the crimes of "inciting the state" and "inciting subversion of state power". Between July 2020 and August 2023, they set up channels on social platforms and posted a number of videos suspected of inciting ** the state and subverting state power. They even called on others to join the foreign ** team or even organize the army, advocating "**" in Hong Kong
This series of acts has seriously endangered *** For this reason, ** applied to the court for an arrest warrant in accordance with the law, and offered a red notice for a reward, hoping that these suspects could be arrested as soon as possible.
This wanted incident has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions on the Internet. Some people support the action of **, believing that the actions of these people have crossed the bottom line and seriously endangered the security and stability of the country and society. There are also those who oppose it, believing that this is a suppression of freedom of speech and a manifestation of political **. They accuse the National Security Law of abusing the law and suppressing dissent.
The incident sparked a heated discussion online, with many people beginning to pay attention to and debate the legitimacy and morality of national security issues. On the one hand, it is the responsibility of every country to maintain the highest level of security, and the introduction and implementation of the National Security Law will help prevent and combat subversive acts and maintain social stability. On the other hand, some fear that the abuse of the national security law could restrict citizens' freedom of expression and crack down on dissenting voices.
Compared to previous similar incidents, this is not an isolated case. Since the passage of the Hong Kong National Security Law, ** has taken action on a number of occasions to arrest people suspected of violating the National Security Law. These actions act as a deterrent to a certain extent, putting pressure on those who seek to harm *** through incitement, subversive acts.
The impact of this incident on society is both positive and negative. On the one hand, this wanted operation demonstrates Hong Kong's determination to crack down on sabotage, reminding suspects who have absconded overseas that there is nowhere to run. On the other hand, some people are skeptical of the actions of **, fearing that the national security law will be abused, ** on freedom and the pursuit of democracy.
So far, these absconders have not been caught. However, Hong Kong** said it would do everything in its power to bring the suspects to justice. Future progress will continue to attract the attention of society.
To sum up, the incident has had a significant impact on society. It has once again sparked a debate about *** and free speech, and is a reminder that *** has a long way to go. For how to balance the contradiction between *** and individual rights, all sectors of society need to carry out more in-depth thinking and discussion. Such incidents are a constant reminder that maintaining social stability and security is still a difficult problem that plagues every country.
