Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said on Monday that he and the Special Administrative Region (SAR) government support and will fully implement the interpretation passed by the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) concerning oath-taking by public officers specified in Article 104 of the Basic Law of the HKSAR.

Accompanied by Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie Lam, Secretary for Justice Rimsky Yuen, and Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Raymond Tam, Leung told a press conference that as the chief executive of the SAR, he has the duty to implement the Basic Law in accordance with Article 48 of the Basic Law.

Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China and the Hong Kong people have the duty to uphold national unity, territorial integrity and security, as well as the dignity and interests of the Chinese people, he said.

"I am certain the Hong Kong community will agree that every LegCo member has the duty to uphold the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, and to fully implement the constitutional arrangements and legal requirements under 'one country, two systems'."

Certain elected members of the current-term Legislative Council (LegCo), including Leung Chung-hang and Yau Wai-ching, deliberately violated the oath-taking procedure and content requirements of the oath. They even insulted the country and the Chinese people in their words and deeds in the oath-taking, as well as advocated "Hong Kong independence," he said, noting that their conduct has caused widespread indignation in Hong Kong and across the country.
