A taxi drives past a big banner featuring the Hong Kong National Security Law in Hong Kong on June 29.
Cable TV, citing an unidentified source, said the law was passed unanimously by the Standing Committee of China’s National People’s Congress. This month, China’s official state agency Xinhua unveiled some of its provisions, including that it would supersede existing Hong Kong legislation and that the power of interpretation belongs to the Chinese parliament’s top decision-making body, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee.
The South China Morning Post, quoting an unnamed source, said Xinhua will publish details of the law on Tuesday afternoon and Hong Kong officials will gather at Beijing’s top representative office in the city later in the day for a meeting on the legislation.
