Awaiting a Democratic Hong Kong

I am listening to RTHK Radio 1 in Hong Kong streaming and they just discussed Mr. Ching Cheong's press conference and so far he's thanking everyone for his release.

They are playing part of his statement.

(I was translating real time with the feed, so not exact but very very close)

"After thanking everyone, I just want to say some simple things about my situation.

Number 1: I have never done anything to hurt the country or its security. I have no shame and regret, and I honestly say I deserved the out pouring of support by the public without shame in my heart.

I have never spied on China. I have never had any intentions of spying on my country. I have never intended to hurt the country's security. I have never touched any classified documents and never given classified information to Taiwan.

To me the country's security is very important to me personally. I take the idea of spying very seriously. It's not something I would consider. It is the complete opposite of my personal belief.

As I said in court. Since university graduation every major decision I have made is for the best of the country. When this situation happened, I first thought of what was important for this country's security before myself, my own safety. Which is why I handed over my computer. This showed I have nothing to hide and did not have any question and fear.
