Cong Peiwu, Chinese Ambassador to Canada, writes: Article 23 legislation is a "must-answer question" for Hong Kong's governance and prosperity. The article said that the "Maintenance of National Security Ordinance" is a law that complies with the will of the people, protects security, and protects development.
It marks the Hong Kong SAR's implementation of the constitutional responsibilities stipulated in Article 23 of the Basic Law and the improvement of the SAR's legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security.
