【Abstract for Japanese:日本人向けに要約】
最低限の事として、私は二つだけは述べておかなくてはならない。
#1. 私は中国政府に依る｢国家安全保障法｣の香港への適用に同意しません。
#2. 私は米国の｢2019年・香港人権・民主主義法｣には全体的に賛同します。
【English Body】
I have to show at least these following two opinions：
#1. I will never agree with The Application of "National Security Act" by Chinese Government (国家安全保障法;國安法) to Hong Kong.
There's no room for any argument on this.
cf. National Security Act (國安法) of China.
[ https://law.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?pcode=A0030028 ]
#2. I'm totally for "the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019"(2019年・香港人権・民主主義法: S.1838 Public Law No: 116-76) established on Nov. 27, 2019(113 Stat. 1161).
cf. The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 (HKHRDA).

"Wang Chen"(王晨), the Vice Chairperson(副委員長) of the 13th Standing Committee(SC,常務委員会),
said...
----the increasingly notable national security risks in the HKSAR have become a prominent problem,
the vice chairman said,
citing activities that have seriously challenged
the bottom line of the "one country, two systems" principle,
harmed the rule of law, and
threatened national sovereignty, security and development interests.
Law-based and forceful measures must be taken
to prevent, stop and punish such activities-----(ibid.).
----Article 23 of the Basic Law of the HKSAR stipulates that
the HKSAR shall enact laws on its own to prohibit any act of
treason, secession, sedition, subversion
against the Central People's Government,
or theft of state secrets,
to prohibit foreign political organizations or bodies
from conducting political activities in the HKSAR,
and to prohibit political organizations or bodies of the HKSAR
from establishing ties with foreign political organizations or bodies----(ibid.).
★此処(Article 23)は特に重要なので、和訳を付す。

外国の政治組織(organizations)や政治団体(bodies)が
香港特別自治区内で政治活動を行うことを禁止し、
香港特別自治区の政治組織や政治団体が
外国の政治組織や団体との結び付きを確立させる事を禁止する
"と規定している(stipulates that)"。

On May 22nd, The Secretary of State, Mike Pompero talked that...
----If passed, the national security proposals
“would be a death knell for the high degree of autonomy Beijing promised for Hong Kong”-----
in an "E-mailed statement to the New York Times" [ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/world/asia/trump-pompeo-china-hong-kong.html ] (Buckley and Bradsher 2020).

After this, Joshua Wong (黃之鋒) said...
----The security law
.....<Omission>.....
However, the law will profoundly erode the city’s firewalls,
especially when a Beijing-led secret police branch is to be set up,
and when Beijing’s board definition of national security is imposed.
In the past, China treated stock markets and the flow of capital
as part of its national security.
The proposed law is the stepping stone for its future intervention.
In order to protect the business interest in the city,
especially those choosing Hong Kong as the regional headquarters,
it is crucial for companies to voice out and oppose the passing of the law.
To maintain the autonomy status of Hong Kong is
the only way to maintain business interest. -----
