With regard to an annual report of the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China that made comments on democracy and human rights in Hong Kong, a spokesperson of the Commissioner's Office said on Thursday evening that advocacy of Hong Kong independence seriously violated China's Constitution, the Basic Law of the Hong Kong SAR and the related laws in the SAR. It challenged the bottom line of one country, two systems, gravely undermined the state sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and damaged Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, and the fundamental interests of people of all sectors in the Hong Kong SAR. No individual or organization would be allowed to advocate Hong Kong independence or engage in separatist activities under the guise of democracy, human rights, freedom of speech or freedom of the press, the spokesperson added. The spokesperson said that since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the central government has acted in strict accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law of the Hong Kong SAR. The principles of one country, two systems, Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy have been successfully implemented in the Hong Kong SAR. Its residents enjoy unprecedented rights and freedoms in accordance with law, the spokesperson added. wristbands canadacustom silicone bracelets canadarubber bracelets canadasilicone bracelets canadasilicone wristbands canadacustom wristbands canadacanadian wristbandswristbands canada
Legislators' powers of review and supervision are to be extended to budget expenditures and related policies, according to a guideline from the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.The extension is aimed at strengthening and improving the legislatures' review and supervision over budgets in accordance with the law, and is an important measure to establish and perfect the budgetary review process and supervisory system with Chinese characteristics, it said.By strengthening the people's congresses' supervision of budget expenditures and policies, the guiding and constraining effects of policies on related budgets will be enhanced, the guideline said, adding that measures would also help ensure that the CPC Central Committee's major principles, policies and decisions could be better implemented.It said that in the past, the focus on government budget review and management, as well as legislators' review and supervision, was limited to the size of deficits and achieving balance between budgeted revenue and expenditure - an arrangement that lacked focus on the details of budget expenditures, policies and the efficient use of fiscal funds.Xinhua?
