China will set up a “national security agency” in Hong Kong to oversee a forthcoming new law aimed at cracking down on dissent in the city, state media said on Saturday.
The report followed the conclusion of a meeting in Beijing of China’s top law-making committee during which it reviewed a preliminary draft of legislation aimed at snuffing out the pro-democracy movement that has rocked the semi-autonomous city. Xinhua said the eventual law would criminalise “secession, subversion of state power, terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces” that endanger security.
The controversial national security law has raised international concerns that it will end the financial hub’s remaining freedoms.
