NPC to prepare for law to maintain security in Hong Kong 12:10 on May 22nd, during which heightened caution among Hong Kong citizens
At the National People's Congress of China starting on the 22nd, it was revealed that legislation to maintain security was being advanced over Hong Kong where protests continued, and among the Hong Kong citizens, the Chinese government directly passed the law. If it is enacted, the one-country-two system will become distorted, and the sense of caution is increasing.
The spokeswoman for the NPC, Zhang Ying, announced that he will hold a press conference on the night of the 21st and will discuss "improvement of the legal system to protect national security in Hong Kong" as one of the subjects of the NPC starting from the 22nd.
Mr Zhang did not provide details, but said, "The development of a legal system that protects the security of the state based on the new situation and the enforcement mechanism of it are completely It is necessary, "he said, and stated that he will promote legislation to maintain security over Hong Kong, where protests have continued since last year.
The Hong Kong government has been aiming at enacting the "National Security Ordinance" to maintain security, but this has not been realized due to the fierce opposition of citizens. It seems that he decided that he could not maintain security.
About this announcement, several Hong Kong media reports that the Chinese government will promote legislation directly replacing the "National Security Ordinance" in this NPC.
Moreover, democratic legislative councils and civic groups have been violently opposed by saying that "the one-country-two system" will be completely lost.
