TOKYO/TAIPEI - Japan expressed concern and Taiwan voiced disappointment on Tuesday after China passed a national security law for Hong Kong that could bring about the starkest changes in the former British colony’s way of life since it returned to Chinese rule.
“We will continue to work with the countries involved to deal with this issue appropriately,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference. In Taipei, Taiwan’s cabinet said in a statement the new law would “severely impact” freedom, democracy and human rights in the Asian financial hub and Taiwan would continue to offer help to its people.
Nevertheless, Ting warned Taiwan people of “possible risks” when visiting Hong Kong in light of the legislation. He did not elaborate.
