香港青年劉仲恆23日在聯合國人權理事會一般性辯論中發言，历数香港回歸25周年成就，並表示《香港國安法》實施後，香港已由混亂走向穩定，正開啟走向繁榮及良政善治的新旅程。

    以下為演講全文：

    主席女士、女士們、先生們；我是劉仲恒，是來自香港的放射治療師及市民。

    在兩周後，我們將會慶祝香港回歸祖國25周年，我們現正享受「具香港特色的資本主義民主」。

    美國自視為世界民主國家祖師爺，但這個國家有些人卻憤怒不已，以致於在2021攻擊了自己的國會山莊。

    我們會向往一個擾亂國際標準並發動貿易戰的民主國家嗎？一個對國內汽油價格高企，通脹處於40年來最高水準視而不見的國家？一個人人享有持槍權卻目睹兒童在學校被槍殺的國家？

    大部分人都會同意事實勝於雄辯。世上並沒有一個放諸四海而皆准的模式。每一國家及地區一定要找到適合它自己的民主模式。

    那些反對中國的人，把國安法和新選舉制度視為限制香港人權利的東西，但事實上它們卻真正捍衛著人民及企業的權利及利益。香港已由混亂走向穩定，正開啟走向繁榮及良政善治的新旅程。

    香港兒童死于槍支暴力的比例是全球最低的地方之一。在中央支持下，香港政府把通脹控制在適當的水準。事實勝於雄辯。

    隨着香港得到祖國持續的支持和陪伴，我有信心香港將會繼續繁榮昌盛，香港人民將充滿希望和成功。

    Madame President, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Dr Kevin Lau, a radiologist and a Hong Kong citizen

    In 2 weeks, we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of HK's handover back to our Motherland and is now enjoying a "Hong Kong-style capitalist democracy."

    The US sees itself as the world's oldest democracy but some people were so frustrated they attacked their own Capitol Hill in 2021.

    Do we fancy democracy that wages trade wars disrupting international standard? Or one too busy deflecting internal problems such as the worst inflation in 40 years with raging gas prices? Or one where people have the right to owning guns and we witness seeing children gunned down in schools?

    Most would agree facts prevail above perspectives. There is no one-size-fits-all model. Each country and region must work to find its own democracy model.

    National security law and the new electoral system have been seen by those against China as restricting the rights of HK people, but have in fact safeguarded the rights and interests of its people and businesses. HK has moved from chaos to stability and is now on a new journey towards regaining prosperity and sound governance.

    Hong Kong has one of the lowest child death rates from gun violence and our government with the support of the Central Government has contained our inflation to modest levels. May facts prevail above perspectives.

    I am confident that with the continued support and partnership from our Motherland, HK and its people will thrive with hope and success.
