In Hong Kong, the bustling Pearl of the Orient, in addition to skyscrapers, night views of Victoria Harbour and busy streets, there are some lesser-known but vital forces hidden.
These forces, like the eight gods who protect Hong Kong, have consistently maintained the stability and prosperity of the city and become its solid shield. These are the eight "ministerial-level units" set up by the state in Hong Kong.
Each of these units shoulders the heavy responsibility of safeguarding national security and development interests, what are these eight differences?
Four institutions
The Chinese People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison, also known as the Hong Kong Garrison, is the mainstay of Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
In early 1993, the Hong Kong Garrison embarked on the journey of formation. As a result of strict selection and training, a modern joint force formed by the army, navy, and air force came into being at the right time, displaying its powerful combat effectiveness and brand-new appearance.
Its historical origins can be traced back to the famous "Red Ball". This heroic division originated from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, was tempered by the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.
This unit is not only well-equipped and superior in combat effectiveness, but also shoulders the sacred duty of safeguarding national sovereignty and Hong Kong's security, and is a solid shield for the country and the people.
It mainly shoulders the heavy responsibility of the defense of the Hong Kong S.A.R., including maintaining social tranquility and responding to emergencies, and is an important force in ensuring stability and security.
At present, they are sticking to the banks of the Xiangjiang River, guarding the southern gate of the motherland as always, and defending the tranquility of the party. Whether it is dealing with emergencies or maintaining social stability, the Hong Kong Garrison is the strongest support for Hong Kong.
The second is the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong S.A.R., also known as the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government.
It is not only a bridge and link between the Central Government and Hong Kong, but also an important force in promoting exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland in the fields of economy, education, science and technology, culture and so on.
It is not only to liaise with and assist the relevant mainland authorities in exercising supervision over institutions in Hong Kong, but also to shoulder the key mission of reflecting the views and demands of Hong Kong residents on the mainland.
The third is the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong S.A.R., also known as the Office for National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
In view of the increasingly severe national security situation in Hong Kong, the Central Government made a decisive decision in 2020 to set up the Office for National Security in Hong Kong to safeguard the overall situation of national security and stability.
This is an agency specifically responsible for safeguarding Hong Kong's national security, and its responsibilities specifically cover analyzing and judging the situation of safeguarding national security in Hong Kong, giving relevant opinions and suggestions, and handling criminal cases endangering national security in accordance with the law.
Since its establishment, the Office on National Security in Hong Kong has played an irreplaceable role in maintaining social stability and national security in Hong Kong.
The fourth is the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in Hong Kong S.A.R. People's Republic of China, which is also known as the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong.
It plays a key role in this area, shouldering the heavy responsibility of handling the foreign affairs of the Hong Kong S.A.R.. It also helps the Hong Kong S.A.R. Government to enhance exchanges and promote relevant cooperation in the fields of foreign economy, trade and cultural relations.
Its establishment means that the central government has managed and supported Hong Kong's foreign affairs in an all-round way, and has played a key role in raising Hong Kong's status and image on the international stage.

epilogue
These eight ministerial-level units have unique style and clear responsibilities, and they all play an irreplaceable key role in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, and in promoting exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland.
The existence and development of these units not only reflects the central government's attention and care for Hong Kong, but also demonstrates the superiority and vitality of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.
