HONG KONG: Tung Chee-hwa (pic), vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said online here on Tuesday that the national security legislation for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) only targets heavy crimes and illegal activities, therefore people of Hong Kong can rest reassured.
Tung pointed out that there are rumours and false claims about how Hong Kong will lose all "democracy and freedom" and its "status as an international financial centre," and even about the death of "one country, two systems" once a national security law is enacted in Hong Kong.
