Declaration also.
It is said quite plainly that for 50 years
after 1997 we will continue to be a capitalist system here in
So
Hong Kong. And not only that, the socialist system and socialist policies shall not be applied to Hong Kong. I ask Members to consider the implication of that. In other words, communism and the communist way of life will not be applied to Hong Kong. what's wrong if there is a film which ridicules communism? It only reminds us to keep to the terms of the Joint Declaration, to make sure the communist way of life, the communist policies, will not be allowed to be extended to Hong Kong. What's wrong with such a film, then? On the contrary, Members may wonder or may think that if you produce a film which praises communism, aha, then it can be said to be in breach of the spirit of the Joint Declaration.
Sir, in conclusion I want to repeat this and
I want to emphasise it: If one freedom is lost today, no other freedom is safe tomorrow.
