The anti-China group "Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China", along with its former chairman and vice-chairpersons Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, were charged with inciting others to subvert state power and have been remanded in custody since then. The local court in Hong Kong found two defendants guilty on Friday, and Ho pleaded guilty before the trial began, local media reported. 
The central government's office for safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) voiced support for the court's lawful prosecution on Friday, saying that the verdict demonstrates the spirit of the rule of law and upholds the authority of the National Security Law (NSL) for Hong Kong. 
The HKSAR government also welcomed the court's guilty verdict. HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said that for a long time, the Hong Kong Alliance had deliberately sown seeds of hatred toward the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the central government in Hong Kong society. Through various means, it sought to incite feelings of dislike and hatred toward the CPC and the central government among members of the public, and to encourage the public to subvert state power, RTHK reported. 
The defendants' long-standing conduct endangered national security, and their plot was plainly evident and had to be punished, Lee said.
Inciting subversion of state power is an extremely serious offense, he said. The HKSAR government has a responsibility to safeguard national security and will resolutely prevent, stop and punish acts and activities that endanger national security, Lee noted. 
In this case, the local court in Hong Kong clearly set out how Hong Kong courts understand and apply the provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The ruling will also serve as a legal principle and precedent, providing an important reference for future cases. It is consistent with legal principles and carries legal force, some legal experts said. 
Looking back at the case, the prosecution and defense engaged in intense legal arguments over the boundaries between freedom of expression and national security, with the core dispute going to the constitutional and legal limits under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework, Willy Fu, a law professor who is also the director of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong & Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Friday. 
In its closing submissions, the prosecution argued that the defendants' long-standing slogan of "ending one-party rule" was not merely a political advocacy campaign, but was essentially aimed at rejecting the leadership of the CPC and attempting to subvert the fundamental system of the state, Fu continued. 
Such conduct, the prosecution argued, went far beyond the scope of freedom of expression protected by the Basic Law and the NSL for Hong Kong, and constituted an objective act of inciting subversion of state power through "unlawful means," Fu said. 
In this case, the local court in Hong Kong clearly set out the Hong Kong courts' understanding and application of the provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The ruling will also serve as a legal principle and precedent, providing an important reference for future cases. It is consistent with legal principles and carries legal force, Chu Kar-kin, a veteran commentator based in the HKSAR and member of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Friday. 
Hong Kong judges likewise need to receive comprehensive and systematic education on China's national Constitution, Chu said. 
The Constitution is the fundamental law of the state and the most important component of the constitutional order of the HKSAR. The core of the constitutional order of the state is the establishment of the CPC's position as the governing party. The Preamble to the Constitution makes it clear that the leadership by the CPC is the core and foundation of the constitutional order of the PRC, a spokesperson from the HKSAR government said on Friday. 
The HKSAR is an inalienable part of the PRC. The state provides the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of Hong Kong, and the highest principle of "One Country, Two Systems" is to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, the spokesperson said. 
The HKSAR Government will resolutely safeguard the fundamental system of the state established by the Constitution and the security of state power, and will, in strict accordance with the principle of the rule of law, prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security with full force and in accordance with the law, the spokesperson added. 
。订票1小时左右，申请退票，商家几乎扣除全部机票费，只退了600元保险费。最近，旅客冯女士的遭遇引起不少关注。     　　黑猫投诉平台7月发布的报告显示，仅今年上半年，平台就收到关于机场航空公司的投诉近2.7万件，其中“退改费用高”投诉超1.3万件，占比接近一半。报告提到，消费者普遍反映提前7天以上甚至十几天申请退票，仍被平台扣除超过40%甚至90%的票款作为手续费。     　　机票退票手续费为何这么高?如何推动解决旅客反映的问题?记者采访了中国航空运输协会(以下简称“中国航协”)有关负责人。      　　机票、航班座位具有极强时效性、不可存储性、资源独占性三大特征。民航航班的运营资源都是为既定飞行计划提前配置的，飞机调度、航油储备、机组人员排班、空管指挥、机场地勤保障等均有成本，且成本不会因座位空置而减免。一旦航班起飞，机上空置的座位就会失去使用和二次销售价值，属于不可逆的资源消耗。     　　中国航协有关负责人介绍，目前，国内航空公司普遍实行阶梯式退票收费。旅客越早申请退票，航空公司拥有越充足的时间将空置座位重新投放市场、完成二次销售，退票手续费标准一般相对较低。建议行程不确定、易变动的旅客选择退改灵活的全价票、高端舱位，更好享受退改权益;行程固定、确定无误的旅客，可选择高折扣优惠机票，遵守适度的退改限制换取出行性价比。

二 |      　　一些旅客反映退票规则看不懂等问题，中国航协有关负责人介绍，阶梯式退票收费在实际落地执行中确实存在一些服务短板：规则公示透明度不足。部分线上平台、销售代理渠道存在规则展示隐蔽问题，如退改条款字体过小、位置隐蔽、专业术语晦涩、默认折叠不展示等;国际机票退改体系复杂。部分外国航空公司扣费规则不公开、费率不透明，销售平台解读不到位;行业缺乏规范标准。

三 | 国内各家航空公司虽均遵循阶梯收费逻辑，但在具体时间节点、手续费比例、免费退改门槛等细节上存在差异。

四 |      　　针对旅客关注的机票退改服务痛点，中国航协已牵头统筹推进机票退改服务升级优化工作，推出多项举措。

五 |      　　研究出台退改标准，全面提升规则透明度。

六 | 中国航协正在牵头制定机票退改专项团体标准，计划今年内正式发布实施。标准将明确退改要求，所有售票平台、航空公司官方渠道，必须通过醒目字体、弹窗强制提示、专属标识、前置告知等方式，在旅客支付订单前主动公示退改费率、限制条件、免费退改场景，解决规则隐蔽、看不懂、不知情的问题，保障旅客知情权、选择权。     　　推广优质惠民政策，引导行业服务升级。东航近日率先调整国内客票退改规则，明确自8月6日(含)起销售的国内客票，所有舱位均可在航班离站前14天以上免费自愿退票、变更，打破了折扣票不可免费退改的传统限制。     　　强化行业合规培训，规范服务执行口径。针对一线客服、票务代理、线上平台工作人员开展常态化专项培训，规范退改规则解读、纠纷处置流程等工作。

七 |      　　攻坚国际机票服务难题，实现跨境规则透明化。督促国内航空公司和销售平台细化国际航线退改规则，前置风险提示。

八 | 主动对接外国航空公司，加大协调力度，推动跨境、跨航司退改服务规范化、透明化。
