NPC Standing Committee chairman's view on national security law for HK

China's top legislature reviewed a draft law on safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.

The draft law was submitted for deliberation at the 19th session of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress from June 18-20.

Establishing and improving at the national level the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the HKSAR to safeguard national security is a major measure to uphold and improve the system of "one country, two systems," said Li Zhanshu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, at the closing meeting of the session on June 20.
