European Union expresses anger and warns of serious consequences over the legislation. FMTNews HongKong
Protesters gather at a shopping mall to protest against Beijing’s national security law in Hong Kong.
Authorities in Beijing and Hong Kong have repeatedly said the legislation is aimed at a few “troublemakers” in Hong Kong and will not affect its rights and freedoms, nor investor interests. Last week, the European Parliament urged the bloc to take China to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, the United Nations’ highest legal body, if it went ahead.“We are deeply concerned by unconfirmed reports that Beijing has passed the national security law,” Raab said.
Japan will also communicate closely with the United States and China, as stable ties between the two global powers were vital for regional and global security, he added.Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters he shared the “deep concern” of the international community and the people of Hong Kong over the measure.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said she was “very disappointed” by China’s move, adding that it showed the “one country, two systems” formula, which Beijing has mooted as a basis for unification with the mainland, “was not feasible”.
