Hong Kong’s national security law has become a cornerstone for stability and prosperity under the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework, according to a new white paper released by the central government on February 10, 2026. The document highlights the city’s transformation from past turmoil to its current era of order—a shift officials call ‘historic’ and ‘transformative.’

The white paper, titled ‘Hong Kong: Safeguarding China’s National Security Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems,’ emphasizes that protecting national security is non-negotiable for upholding the region’s unique status. ‘A secure Hong Kong benefits everyone—its residents, overseas investors, and the nation’s development,’ stated a spokesperson from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office.
From Chaos to Confidence 🌟
Since the law’s enactment, Hong Kong has seen renewed stability, attracting global businesses and reinforcing its role as Asia’s financial hub. The spokesperson noted that ‘high-level security enables Hong Kong to tackle future challenges while ensuring long-term prosperity.’
For young professionals and travelers, this means a safer, more dynamic city—one that balances its iconic freedoms with responsibility. As the white paper puts it: ‘One Country, Two Systems isn’t just a policy; it’s Hong Kong’s lifeline.’
