Editor's Note: On the day marking the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, some officials of the sixth-term Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government will be sworn in. Recently, China's State Council approved the list of key officials proposed by the sixth-term chief executive of the HKSAR government, and veteran official Chris Tang Ping-keung will continue serving as Secretary for Security. Global Times reporters Chen Qingqing and Fan Lingzhi recently interviewed Tang exclusively. With the implementation of the national security law for Hong Kong, the city has seen a transition from chaos to stability. However, Tang warned there are still risks that the city faces in national security, and that public awareness and youth education concerning national security should be further strengthened.
