Hong Kong passes its own version of national security law

- Hong Kong authorities have accelerated the legislative process to pass Article 23, the city’s own national security law. The law covers the offences of treason, insurrection, espionage, sabotaging national security, theft of state secrets and external interference. Maximum penalties for some of them include life imprisonment. Article 23 is meant to complement the Beijing-imposed National Security Law, which only covers four offences. CNA spoke to Andrew K P Leung, China Strategist and Chairman at Andrew Leung International Consultants.
A statement from the Hong Kong spokesperson stated:
First, the core essence of the Sino-British Joint Declaration is that China will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong and does not give the UK the right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs after its return. The British side has no sovereignty, governance or supervision over Hong Kong after its return, and is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on Hong Kong affairs.
Second, the National Security Regulations for Hong Kong will not affect Hong Kong’s continued enjoyment of a high degree of autonomy in accordance with the Basic Law, nor will it detract from the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents. The crime is clearly defined and targets only a very small number of people who endanger national security. Law-abiding people do not have to worry about accidentally falling into the law. The normal activities of foreign institutions and personnel in Hong Kong are fully protected by law.
Third, the Hong Kong National Security Regulations are a law to ensure security and development. It fully considers the need for Hong Kong to operate as an international financial, shipping and trade center and expand smooth and convenient international connections. It will not affect the normal development of business consultation, market research and other activities and the free flow of information. Instead, it will create a more stable and more stable environment for Hong Kong. A predictable business and development environment.
About time. It waited for over 20 years. Well done! Every country has security law. Why not hk? To hell with those countries are against it. Mind their own freaking business.
All countries have national security laws, don't be a Disgusting hypocrite!
yes , but it's what inside that makes the whole difference , not the law itself
@@rickgifford-lp3kn Perhaps you'd like to read up on what the UK intends to do with its own security law. For HK, it means you can't commit terrorist attacks like trying to blow up buildings and election interference. If the UK gets its way, you won't be able to protest against Gaza genocide in UK lest you be arrested as a 'terrorist'. Not even sure whether any protests are allowed in Singapore.
Why US and UK can have national secutity laws but Hong Kong cannot?
Wong, Wong, Wong Hong Kong security law is not Hong Kong but it is from Red commie China
The west like America, UK, NATO countries called it, freedom and democracy. 😢
Good move. This will help prevent CIA fanning of strife and violence in HK. Singapore also have strict national security law. The USA propagating wars and violence need to be stopped.
Singapore does not do great leap famines like the reds every 50 years
Well said, totally agreed!
Lots of people are still don't know CIA was funded the hk riots in 2019(color revolution). I'm so glad n happy that the new hk security law bill has passed yesterday. It's about time. It took 20 years for that. It was way too long. Well done, HK China. 🙏👍
(Tribal aid workers targeted in Gaza City, 23 killed)
At least 23 Palestinians working to distribute aid, have been killed by an Israeli airstrike in Northern Gaza.
Warplanes struck near the Kuwait Roundabout where supplies for the north are distributed.
The intersection is on the Salah al-Din road -- a main route linking northern and southern Gaza.
There have been several attacks on Palestinians seeking aid, at the same location.
Last month, Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd there, killing 118 people seeking food.
should have passed it within a few years of 1997 handover already when HK had more choices and power to shape it. Now it comes back after the opposition Pan-Dem party became defunct. They had no intentions to follow One Country part of the model in the first place it seems.
🔊Free Julian assange!!!
It’s worth pointing out that the UK’s National Security Act that came into force last year contains many provisions with vague definitions and grants law enforcement agencies sweeping power, which can be easily abused.
🤣Western is like a tenant complaining that the house owner installed a lock after returning the house.
Good. I live in HK. There is law and order now.
Those object only becuase they have no good intention apart from valuing peace,order and rule of law, And they go about now making unfounded fear mongering and hype it and said it is notnwell delibrerate which is utter lies. Those foreign that ojeccted They have more dragonian laws in their countries. I challenge them to repel thier bill if they think this is draganian. The HK bill is mild vs what they have on their so call developed countries.
No curtailment of freedom in HK
That's so fumny about most those medias are worry so much HK new Article 23 law 🙄.
Why every countries and their cities can able to has all kinda different laws but HK China can't able to has theirown law 🤔.
Is this fairly or not 🙄
Free Julian!
😅Can CNA able to name a place with less complete and less stringent national security law than Hong Kong?
HK National Security Still less complete and stringent ， compare to U$ UK EU Taiwan , Singapore ....
HK still need to work hard to catch up to same level of U$ UK EU Taiwan , Singapore ....law
😅CNA dare to list a comparison of national security law between Singapore and Hong Kong?
I believe CNA will be Singaporean nightmare when it’s good time end.
"Accelerated".... isn't it supposed to be in place long long time ago and shouldn't cna also talk about its own SG national security law?
The host is trying her best to steer the interview toward the US narrative. Sorry girl. Fewer and fewer in Asia are being fooled.
National security law is fine. But the reason why foreign capital and companies are leaving is because the law is drafted so vague, that enforcement can be too arbitrary. Foreign firms have also no longer got trust in Hong Kong’s judiciary.
(5 things the media is not telling you about Article 23)
"The narrative the world is hearing about Hong Kong's security law OMITS the most crucial facts about it. Here they are."
Such defiling header! Own Version is less stricter than in UK or USA. Singapore? This is a much needed laws to stop foreign interference esp US and the West
In 2020, John Lee was involved in the repression and imprisonment of Hong Kongers 🇭🇰 who protested the Beijing-imposed "national security" law.
- He still can't open a bank account even in Hong Kong amid being sanctioned by the US.
No, they rioted against the plans for the extradition treaty
Hey Mama, shut up lah.
Mr Lee will be remembered in history in that he successfully completed the task of passing the Hong Kong domestic national security law in the face of US sanctions
Poda, Kling 😎
@ArabicReja. Another moronic comment from you.
If every country has National Security why are people upset Hong Kong has it now?
Singapore and citizen of the world can be detained in Hong Kong under the article 23 if you criticize the HK government. That's how draconian this new security law is. So think twice or triple before going to Hong Kong after this new law is enacted.
Singapore and many countries also have similar security law. However, Singapore and many countries also have democracy and the rule of law.
Corruption is not rule of law. US government is corrupt due to favoritism for special interest lobby groups. Rule of elites, not law.
All CCP leaders especially top ones need to have Accountabilities which they seldom ever have for the last many decades, using the so call "Security Laws" to give them "Cover" is Incomprehensible and Absurde!!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸!!
That beat hard as hell🔥🔥🔥
