‘National security law both necessary and urgent for Hong Kong’

I refer to the article “Hong Kong: The impact of China’s national security law” published in The Manila Times on July 7, 2020.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is an inalienable part of the People’s Republic of China, and a local administrative region that enjoys a high degree of autonomy and comes directly under the Central People’s Government. In view of the increasingly pronounced national security risks faced by the HKSAR, the enactment of a national security law at the state level is both necessary and urgent in order to plug the loophole in national security in Hong Kong.
