SOUNDBITE (Cantonese): JOHN LEE, Chief executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR)   
"Hong Kong society understands the significance of safeguarding national security. The pain caused by threats to national security is unbearable. The consensus on safeguarding national security is strong. Thus, I think when the relevant departments have an overall plan ready, they should start the legislative work on Article 23 of the Basic Law of the HKSAR as soon as possible."
   
Lee believed that the risk of endangering national security exists daily and the international situation is constantly changing, with some hostile forces still keeping a watchful eye.
   
The earlier the legislation is completed, the sooner Hong Kong will be free from such threats. A safe environment is crucial for investment, peaceful living, and thriving businesses, he added.
