Remarks
We have commented separately that the freedom of entry into the SAR should be restricted to SAR permanent residents only. But on a purely translation point, the term
" 出入境自由
should be
translated as "the freedom to enter or leave the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region".
The term "as prescribed by law" can be interpreted to mean that the provision of various kinds of social welfare has to be stipulated in law. This departs from the current practice whereby certain kinds of social welfare are provided
through administrative
arrangements. In this context,
依法
the term
"I
"1
should be taken to mean "in compliance
with law" or "in accordance with law".
Internal consistency in terminology.
