China blasts criticism of new HK security law
March 21, 2024
|The Philippine Star
BEIJING AFP) China blasted critics of Hong Kong’s new national security law yesterday, after Western powers and the United Nations said it would further curtail freedoms in the finance hub. The city’s legislature passed the law unanimously on Tuesday, introducing tough new penalties for five categories of crimes, including treason and theft of state secrets.
