The unprecedented dissolution of the Hong Kong National Party, a localist political party advocating the independence of Hong Kong from China, has given rise to a constitutional dispute over the competing principles of protecting national security and upholding freedom of association. This article first analyses the theory of ‘militant democracy’, which refers to a form of constitutional democracy authorized to protect civil and political freedom by pre-emptively restricting the exercise of such freedoms, as applied in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. It argues that a pre-emptive ban on a party can be justified by a government if the party pursues undemocratic aims or employs violence or incitement to violence to achieve its political goals. This article then assesses the constitutionality of the dissolution of the Hong Kong National Party in light of the theory of ‘militant democracy’ and submits that such a theory should equally apply to Hong Kong, allowing the government to act in a militant manner to dissolve any political parties such as the Hong Kong National Party if they have incited or resorted to violence to pursue their political agenda.

An attempt was made to study whether the morphology effect of metal-organic frameworks HKUST-1 could significantly influence the chemical reaction of benzene oxidation. Four representative cupric salts, CuSO4·5H2O, Cu(OAc)2·H2O, CuCl2·2H2O and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, were treated with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid under ultrasound or with static method at room temperature to prepare metal-organic frameworks(12 types of HKUST-1 samples). And the as-prepared HKUST-1 materials were comprehensively investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption. The HKUST-1 samples with different morphologies and characterisitcs were employed as catalysts for benzene oxidation with H2O2 as oxidant at 60 °C in acetonitrile to achieve the aromatic oxygenates and test their yields. In all the HKUST-1 samples, the HKUST-1/SA, HKUST-1/SA0 and HKUST-1/UN had the higher catalytic activities with the yields of benzene oxygenates of 15.9%, 16.6% and 11.7%, respectively, which can be ascribed to the larger pore volume, the stronger benzene adsorption and the smaller fine crystal particles. Comparatively, the HKUST-1/SN0 and HKUST-1/SC0 with more intact crystal, larger surface area, lower pore volume and weaker benzene adsorption had the lower catalytic activities with the yields of benzene oxygenates not more than 4%. Therefore, our results confirmed that employing various cupric precursors to prepare the HKUST-1 samples with different morphologies and characteristics can be considered as a worth strategy to design many more powerful heterogeneous catalysts.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the etiologic agent of porcine circovirus-associated disease, and it is mainly divided into five genotypes. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of PCV2 strain GDYX, which belongs to PCV2d and has a unique amino acid variation at position 169 (S to G).
