The Chinese parliament passed a resolution to draft a security bill in Hong Kong.

The resolution delegates to the NPC Standing Committee the development of a security bill specifically for Hong Kong.
Earlier it became known that the legislative body of the PRC will consider a bill to ensure national security in the special administrative region of Hong Kong.
The document was developed specifically for autonomy and involves a ban on subversive and separatist activities, as well as any forms of incitement aimed at overthrowing the central government, terrorism and outside interference. This caused dissatisfaction with the anti-government forces of Hong Kong and a number of Western countries.
