Hong Kong delegates to China’s parliament seek mainland security laws to counter protests
HONG KONG — Two Hong Kong delegates to China’s parliament are pushing to implement mainland security laws months after pro-democracy protesters shut down major parts of the Chinese-controlled city, broadcaster RTHK said today (Feb 22).
The last time Hong Kong tried to pass national security legislation was in 2003 when half a million people took to the streets, a key lawmaker withdrew his support and the government was forced to withdraw its proposal.
Mr Stanley Ng, chairman of the pro-Beijing Federation of Trade Unions, said his proposal was triggered by the so-called Occupy Central protests, Hong Kong’s failure to pass its own national security laws and its lack of laws addressing foreign intervention and secession.
A second Hong Kong delegate to China’s rubber-stamp National People’s Congress, Mr Peter Wong, said he supported the proposal, RTHK said.
