The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today marked the sixth anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the National Security Law (HKNSL), reiterating that the city’s national security frameworks ensure robust protection and steady economic growth. As mentioned in the white paper titled “Hong Kong: Safeguarding China’s National Security Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems” issued by the State Council Information Office in February, the Hong Kong SAR Government noted that the HKNSL serves as a key stabilising force by providing essential institutional safeguards. The Hong Kong SAR Government expressed gratitude to the central government for enacting the HKNSL six years ago, enabling Hong Kong’s transition from chaos to order. To fulfil its constitutional responsibility, the current-term Government achieved a historic milestone by enacting the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (SNSO) under Article 23 of the Basic Law. The SNSO works in tandem with the HKNSL to achieve full convergence, compatibility and complementarity. These laws, alongside subsequent subsidiary legislation, have significantly strengthened Hong Kong’s legal system and enforcement mechanisms.Since the implementation of both laws, local livelihoods and the business environment have steadily improved. Notably, Hong Kong was again ranked as the world’s freest economy and led globally in funds raised through initial public offerings, demonstrating strong international confidence in the city’s stable business environment. In line with the white paper’s call to enhance national security education, the Security Bureau has launched a series of commemorative programmes. A five-episode television series, NS files: Decoded, premiered today to analyse major national security cases, and an interactive drama will be presented in early July.
The Security Bureau today held a launch ceremony for the new TV series “NS-files: Decoded", which is scheduled to premiere tomorrow to mark the 6th Anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law. The five-episode documentary series will present details of key national security cases, including those involving Tong Ying-kit, the "Sheep Village" picture books, Tam Tak-chi, the "Returning Valiant" group, and the “Project 35+” subversion campaign. It will also provide an in-depth analysis of the city's national security laws and key points from court judgments, with a view to heightening public awareness in safeguarding national security. The series also aims to strengthen in the community the spirit of knowing, understanding, observing and upholding the law. Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung said the main idea of the series is to show investigation and evidence-gathering processes and to analyse the court's verdicts. He added that the series showcases how anti-China and destabilising offenders were finally brought to justice by law enforcement agencies upholding the rule of law, justice and the city's national security laws. Mr Tang said the series will serve as a reminder to the public that national security risks still exist, and that safeguarding national security is a continuous endeavour with no end point. He urged everyone to stay vigilant at all times. The show will be aired on HOY 78 at 8.15pm every Tuesday starting from tomorrow.

Deputy Secretary for Justice Cheung Kwok-kwan also shared his practical experiences, equipping trainees with effective communication and teaching skills to better disseminate rule of law messages. Participants described the course content as practical and accessible. They noted that the training deepened their understanding of rule of law principles, enabling them to effectively convey accurate messages within their respective community roles.
