China has firmly defended the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government's decision to revoke passports of six exiled activists accused of endangering national security, calling the move “justified and lawful”. The individuals, including Law Kwun-chung, face charges ranging from state division to colluding with foreign forces, according to officials.
🔍 The HKSAR Security Bureau announced the action Wednesday, stating the absconders – all reportedly living in the UK – had long engaged in anti-China activities that “threatened the bottom line of 'One Country, Two Systems.'” China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized the measures align with the National Security Ordinance, adding: “No external forces have the right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs.”
🌐 This development highlights Beijing's ongoing efforts to safeguard national security through legal frameworks while reinforcing its stance on Hong Kong's status as an integral part of China. The move comes amid heightened global attention to cross-border legal enforcement and sovereignty issues.
