The anti-China group "Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China", along with its former chairman and vice-chairpersons Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, were charged with inciting others to subvert state power and have been remanded in custody since then. The local court in Hong Kong found two defendants guilty on Friday, and Ho pleaded guilty before the trial began, local media reported. 
The central government's office for safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) voiced support for the court's lawful prosecution on Friday, saying that the verdict demonstrates the spirit of the rule of law and upholds the authority of the National Security Law (NSL) for Hong Kong. 
The HKSAR government also welcomed the court's guilty verdict. HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said that for a long time, the Hong Kong Alliance had deliberately sown seeds of hatred toward the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the central government in Hong Kong society. Through various means, it sought to incite feelings of dislike and hatred toward the CPC and the central government among members of the public, and to encourage the public to subvert state power, RTHK reported. 
The defendants' long-standing conduct endangered national security, and their plot was plainly evident and had to be punished, Lee said.
Inciting subversion of state power is an extremely serious offense, he said. The HKSAR government has a responsibility to safeguard national security and will resolutely prevent, stop and punish acts and activities that endanger national security, Lee noted. 
In this case, the local court in Hong Kong clearly set out how Hong Kong courts understand and apply the provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The ruling will also serve as a legal principle and precedent, providing an important reference for future cases. It is consistent with legal principles and carries legal force, some legal experts said. 
Looking back at the case, the prosecution and defense engaged in intense legal arguments over the boundaries between freedom of expression and national security, with the core dispute going to the constitutional and legal limits under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework, Willy Fu, a law professor who is also the director of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong & Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Friday. 
In its closing submissions, the prosecution argued that the defendants' long-standing slogan of "ending one-party rule" was not merely a political advocacy campaign, but was essentially aimed at rejecting the leadership of the CPC and attempting to subvert the fundamental system of the state, Fu continued. 
Such conduct, the prosecution argued, went far beyond the scope of freedom of expression protected by the Basic Law and the NSL for Hong Kong, and constituted an objective act of inciting subversion of state power through "unlawful means," Fu said. 
In this case, the local court in Hong Kong clearly set out the Hong Kong courts' understanding and application of the provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The ruling will also serve as a legal principle and precedent, providing an important reference for future cases. It is consistent with legal principles and carries legal force, 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 Friday. 
Hong Kong judges likewise need to receive comprehensive and systematic education on China's national Constitution, Chu said. 
The Constitution is the fundamental law of the state and the most important component of the constitutional order of the HKSAR. The core of the constitutional order of the state is the establishment of the CPC's position as the governing party. The Preamble to the Constitution makes it clear that the leadership by the CPC is the core and foundation of the constitutional order of the PRC, a spokesperson from the HKSAR government said on Friday. 
The HKSAR is an inalienable part of the PRC. The state provides the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of Hong Kong, and the highest principle of "One Country, Two Systems" is to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, the spokesperson said. 
The HKSAR Government will resolutely safeguard the fundamental system of the state established by the Constitution and the security of state power, and will, in strict accordance with the principle of the rule of law, prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security with full force and in accordance with the law, the spokesperson added. 
。陈振益在文礼坊熟食中心售卖鸡饭，他已试用低钠盐，觉得味道没有差别，不过成本考量还是重点。陈振益说：“味道应该是一样只是少钠而已嘛，经济考量啦说真的，如果价钱一样当然用比较健康的。”售卖虾面的卢伟宏说，平均一个星期使用六公斤的盐，每公斤约0.50元，如果使用低钠盐，估计一周成本提高约30多元。卢伟宏称：“价格方面也是有些偏高，主食的味道还在那边，这个只是一个调味。”全国商联总会小贩组组长刘福记说：“很多小贩们都不知道（低钠盐），所以有这样的一个推广，也提高大家的意识，现在的人我发现越来越注重健康，相信他们（摊贩)也慢慢地会逐步地改变这些思维方式。”在中峇鲁熟食中心售卖菜头粿的巫奕明支持使用低钠盐，并认为主要看顾客的接受度。“顾客们适应就没问题，我们也希望顾客吃得比较健康，因为我没有用很多（盐），所以成本应该没有增加很多。”售卖印度香饭的沙扎因也使用低钠盐来替代普通食盐。“这个低钠盐不错我们确实可以用，不过一般的盐三公斤，3元这个比较贵一点。”中峇鲁商联会主席卢德盛说：“要鼓励小贩们用这种低钠盐，我想政府应该有一些津贴，好像一个月多少看他们的用量了，这样小贩们才会响应这个活动不然他们的成本无形中会提高，他们的盈利就会减少。
