letter-spacing: 0pt; font-size: 12pt;">，</span><span style="font-family: Arial; letter-spacing: 0pt; font-size: 12pt;">北京非常忌諱港獨聲音，並把打撃港獨正式列入國務院工作報告之中。可以預計，北京將有更多以打撃港獨為名的動作</span><span style="font-family: Arial; letter-spacing: 0pt; font-size: 12pt;">，</span><span style="font-family: Arial; letter-spacing: 0pt; font-size: 12pt;">為逐步收回香港自治權鋪路。</span></p><p style="margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt;"> </p><p style="margin-right: 0pt;
