Li Fei, deputy secretary general of the NPC Standing Committee, said at a press conference Monday that the independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication, exercised by the Hong Kong SAR, is provided by the NPC Standing Committee through the Basic Law.

Independent judicial power that violates or goes beyond the Basic Law shall not be allowed, according to Li.

The purpose of the NPC Standing Committee in clarifying the implications of relevant provisions in the Basic Law by issuing an interpretation is to ensure the accurate implementation of the provisions.

The NPC Standing Committee has the responsibility to issue an interpretation when disagreement on the provisions of the Basic Law in Hong Kong has affected the implementation of the Basic Law and the "one country, two systems" principle, according to Li.

The interpretation "will provide a legal basis for the judicial and administrative organs in Hong Kong and legal guidance for citizens in the SAR," Li said.

The Constitution of the nation and the Basic Law of the Hong Kong SAR stipulates that the NPC Standing Committee exercises comprehensive and final rights when interpreting the Basic Law.

Local laws in Hong Kong shall not contradict the interpretation issued by the NPC Standing Committee in accordance with law, Li said, stressing the NPC is not interfering in the independent judicial power enjoyed by Hong Kong.
