Hi! My name is Rev and Dr. Edmund Ng, a pastor and a scholar from Hong Kong. From my experience, the freedom of speech in religious and academic areas has maintained under the implementation of One Country, Two System in the past 25 years. After the implementation of the National Security Law, the above-mentioned freedoms have been more fully guaranteed.
Hong Kong Christians were able to preach the gospel through citywide evangelistic meetings, such as the Hong Kong Franklin Graham Festival in 2007. Those meetings had the support and permission of the government, such as the RISK assessment from the police. These meetings wouldn’t be held, If the Hong Kong government restricts religious belief.
Before returning to China, about 70% of primary and secondary schools were sponsored by religious groups. After 1997, not only were these schools continued to be sponsored by religious groups, there are also new schools approved for religious groups. Such as The Gratia Christian College.
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to show the world that Hong Kong is a fair and loving society, and we religious people will work together to ensure the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. As Hong Kong pursues the common values of humanity, we hope to achieve the unity of all countries, and to create a community that is loved by God and humanity!
