Major parts of the collected beggars were fake and professional, the official told the state-owned media outlet, and saying the police after investigation have allocated a monthly allowance to the needy one and referred the professional beggars to the concerned entities for further investigation.
The Afghan caretaker government, according to the official, is committed to fighting the culture of begging as part of efforts to keep the society clean.
China and Japan are in communication on the case, he added.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Shenzhen police said that a 44-year-old man surnamed Zhong had been taken into custody.
China upholds the rule of law and the Chinese government brooks no illegal or violent activities, Lin said, adding that relevant authorities will bring the criminal to justice in accordance with the law.
Lin emphasized that this was an isolated incident and similar cases could happen in any country, saying that he believes that it will not affect exchanges between China and Japan.
“China has always taken, and will continue to take, effective measures to ensure the safety of all foreign nationals in China.”
He said that China always welcomes people from all countries, including Japan, to visit, study, do business and live in China.
There are a number of exceptions to this observation. In 1571, for instance, Queen Elizabeth I raised the “Holland Regiment”. Monck’s Regiment of Foot served the Parliamentary Cause during the English Civil Wars and is today better known as the “Coldstream Guards”. The “Royal Regiment of Guards” fought for King Charles I during the English Civil Wars and is today known as the “Grenadier Guards”. It seems that early examples of the use of the “Regiment” designation might have included newly formed units with no fighting history or direct links to a British geographical location. These attributes had to be earned through blood and honour. However, eventually very well-establish military units seem to have voluntarily taken on this designation – or been given it by the British government.
The ordinance is clear and precise, leaving no room for unjustified arguments, Chu Kar-kin, a veteran commentator based in the HKSAR and member of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Wednesday. The allegations from the West are groundless and subjective, as their laws are never superior or binding to other jurisdictions, he said.
In fact, the Article 23 legislation has taken at least six countries’ national security-related laws as references during the legislative process including 16 laws from the UK like the National Security Act 2023.
The definitions of crimes within the ordinance are clearer than those in the UK’s National Security Act 2023, Tang, the city’s Secretary for Security, noted on Wednesday. Cameron ignoring the vagueness of his own country’s legislation while making unreasonable criticisms of the Article 23 legislation displays hypocritical double standards, Tang said.
The article also claimed that Hong Kong is “not enough” for having the “controversial” National Security Law for Hong Kong, and therefore comes a “sweeping” and “vague” new legislation.
A spokesperson for the office said the sensational accusation is just a “silver bullet” for the newspaper to catch readers’ eyes, saying such kinds of constant smears have deterred some businesspeople in the United States from visiting Hong Kong for the fear of being “locked up”, the spokesperson heard.
“I believe many Western media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, should take credit for their distorted Hong Kong impression,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the National Security Law implemented in 2020 covers only two of the seven categories of crimes under Article 23 of the Basic Law, namely secession and subversion, and the other five crimes, such as treason and theft of State secrets, are not included.
Some end their days inflated figures – like Henry VIII (but not Puyi).
Hesitant in handling so much amassed power.
Perhaps it is a seasonal thing.
The mood will change with the tilt of the breeze, or the sweet scent on the air.
Wise words have become ever more poignant.
They slip with a greater ease into my consciousness.
