Ministry of the Outer Realms
EXECUTIVE YUAN
CELESTIAL EMPIRE
Your Excellency,
On behalf and at the request of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Celestial Empire I hereby notify you of their protest of the recently organized memorial within the territory of Hong Kong without prior consultation with either the Hong Kong Special Administration or the Ministry of the Outer Realms of the Celestial Empire, both of which should have been consulted. While Hong Kong remembers those brave souls who gave their lives in the defence of the island during the Japanese invasion and they would have gladly taken part in organizing such a ceremony, they can only disapprove of the unilateral encroachment on Hong Kong sovereignty. It is only out of respect for the fallen that the Hong Kong Police were not instructed to disband the ceremony in line with standing law on the organizations of large events on public ground.
The Minister of the Outer Realms has talked the Chief Executive down from pursuing more action than this protect, however I must inform you that any event organized on any public territory within Hong Kong must be discussed at least one month in advance so proper arrangements can be made. Both for the preservation of law and order as well as the security of Hong Kong and Australian citizens alike. This notification period is required so that the Special Administration can keep the area clear at the time of the event and coordinate with the Hong Kong Police Force on security, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department on fire, health and other safety matters, and any other Hong Kong or Imperial organizations may be needed depending on the scale of the event.
Future events without authorization from the Chief Executive on any public land or private land where the number of attendees is expected to exceed 1 per 5m2 will be dissolved by the Hong Kong Police Force.
Sincerely,
Zhang Junsai,
Her Celestial Majesty's Ambassador to the Commonwealth of Australia
