Canada’s remarks ‘unwarranted’

OTTAWA: Canada made unwarranted comments on the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), grossly interfering in China’s internal affairs, a spokesperson of the Chinese embassy in Canada said.

China’s National People’s Congress formulated National Security Law for Hong Kong and listed it in Annex III to the HKSAR Basic Law to be gazetted and enacted in Hong Kong by the SAR government, the spokesperson said in a statement.“The implementation of the law will strengthen Hong Kong’s legal framework, ensure social order, improve the business environment, and benefit Hong Kong citizens and international investors, ” the spokesperson said.
