To celebrate the 30th anniversary of promulgation of the Basic Law and enhance the public's understanding of the Basic Law provisions, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau (CMAB) today (August 22) rolled out a video series on the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law.
The video series on the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law features:
(1) a comprehensive short film for the 30th Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Basic Law; and
(2) six thematic videos focusing on different topics, namely
(i) "Origin of the Basic Law";
(ii) "Drafting and Consultation";
(iii) "Rights and Freedom";
(iv) "Rule of Law";
(v) "International Financial Centre"; and
(vi) "Looking Ahead".
A CMAB spokesman said, "The video series reviews the guidelines of 'one country, two systems' and the origin of the Basic Law, examines the safeguard of institutions under the Basic Law, and analyses the ways that the Basic Law enables the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to preserve its strengths and maintain its prosperity and stability, and its citizens to enjoy their pleasant livings in some 20 years since the return to the motherland."
The videos had been uploaded to the CMAB's webpage (www.cmab.gov.hk), the thematic webpage of the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law (www.basiclaw.gov.hk/en/anniversary30/activities.html), and the Facebook page of the CMAB (www.facebook.com/cmab.gov.hk).
Moreover, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law, the CMAB, besides producing the video series, also organises a series of activities to promote the Constitution and the Basic Law to different sectors of our society, including launching web games in March and an online exhibition in April (bl30a-exhibition.org), and hosting a webinar in June to enhance the public's understanding of the Basic Law (www.basiclaw.gov.hk/en/anniversary30/seminar.html).
The Basic Law was adopted by the National People's Congress and promulgated on April 4, 1990. It came into effect on July 1, 1997, when the HKSAR was established. The Basic Law is enacted in accordance with the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, and enshrines in the form of law the important concepts of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy. The Basic Law prescribes the systems to be practised in the HKSAR in order to ensure the implementation of the basic policies of the People's Republic of China regarding Hong Kong.
