#Editorial by AppleDailyHK | "In recent years, when the CCP leadership promoted the rule of law, they emphasized legislation and law enforcement under the leadership of the party. They have therefore been mocked as merely changing their postures when riding on the people’s heads. In essence, it is the continuation of the thousand-year tradition of the feudal “rule of the king’ in China. Last year, the CCP formulated the Hong Kong National Security Law, and this year, it is implementing new methods for choosing Hong Kong’s Chief Executive and Legislative Council. The most problematic is that while it is overthrowing the status of the Basic Law as Hong Kong’s mini-constitution, it wants to deceive the international community by not actually amending the Basic Law upright. Instead, through adding and amending annexes, the Basic Law itself is undermined. Moreover, it is arbitrarily moving the goalpost by having arbitrary interpretations of national security and patriotism all for the sake of maintaining the one-party dictatorship."

"中共領導人近年宣揚依法治國時，強調的是黨領導下的立法、執法，因此被譏為只是改變了騎在人民頭上的姿勢而已，實質上是中國幾千年封建「王法」理念的延續。中共去年制訂港版國安法，今年制訂香港特首、立法會產生辦法，最受詬病的，一是推翻《基本法》作為香港小憲法的地位，但為蒙蔽國際社會，又不堂堂正正地修訂《基本法》，而是修訂、增加附件，荒唐地令附件凌駕於《基本法》。二是龍門任搬，隨意詮釋國家安全、愛國者定義，只求達到維護一黨專制的目的。"
