HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, lashed out on Tuesday at some foreign politicians for applying double standards, saying they value the security of their own nation but belittle China's legitimate security concerns, especially in the city of Hong Kong.

Lam asked why Hong Kong should not have safeguards on national security when jurisdictions all over the world have multiple laws to safeguard their own national security.
