What Is Happening With The Law?

According to the BBC, the resolution on the Hong Kong law was put forward this week. Moreover, it was discussed at the meeting of China’s National People’s Congress. However, the meeting is delayed.

The vote should take place by Thursday. Also, the new proposal will be fleshed out in a draft law. But it has received a lot of criticism internationally. Ms. Lam, Hong Kong’s Leader said that other countries have no right to interfere in the internal matter between China and Hong Kong.

Furthermore, she added that no country would tolerate flawed national security legislation. Also, Hong Kong as a part of China was no different. Many opponents of the law say that Beijing is trying to take away Hong Kong’s freedom.
