專家採訪原文翻譯：

所有國家都有捍衛國家主權和領土完整的使命，這是該國生存的根本標誌。香港是中國不可分割的一部分。《基本法》對此也有明確規定。根據《基本法》，香港作為特別行政區享有高度自治權，但「高度自治權」並非「主權」。香港的利益也是中國的利益。該法在香港特區維護國家安全的最終目的是捍衛國家主權，並確保「一國兩制」的連續性。而且我不認為現在中國政府禁止討論香港的未來。中國現在正在做的是防止外國勢力幹涉此事。外國勢力從來不代表中國的利益。這是中國的內政。

All countries have a mission to defend their national sovereignty and territorial integrity， which is the fundamental symbol of the country’s existence. Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China. The Basic Law also has clear provisions on this. According to the Basic Law， Hong Kong， as a special administrative region， enjoys a high degree of autonomy， but “high degree of autonomy” is not “sovereignty.” The interests of Hong Kong are also interests of China. The ultimate purpose of law on safeguarding national security in the HKSAR is to defend national sovereignty and ensure the continuity of “One country Two systems.” And I don’t think it is forbidden to discuss Hong Kong’s future. What China is doing now is to prevent external forces from interfering with this matter. Foreign forces do not represent China’s interests. This matter is China’s internal affairs.
