|March 21, 2024
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.

Commonly referred to as Article 23, the homegrown security law will work in tandem with a 2020 Beijing-imposed version that has silenced nearly all dissent in Hong Kong and seen nearly 300 people arrested since its enactment.
