Hong Kong government solicited opinions on the enactment of a National Security Ordinance. Most of the opinions received were in favor of it, and that it had the support of the majority of citizens.

There are voices of concern in Europe and the United States, saying that it will have a negative impact on people's rights and freedoms. The Hong Kong government aims to submit the draft ordinance to parliament as soon as possible for its enactment.. Hong Kong democracy activist Zou Hung* Tou said from prison that the concept of national security is comprehensive and arbitrary.
