🇭🇰 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Chief Executive John Lee has pledged full support for China's newly released national security white paper, calling it a 'vital step' to uphold stability under the 'One Country, Two Systems' framework. The document, published on February 10, 2026, outlines measures to strengthen legal safeguards against threats to sovereignty and development interests.
🛡️ 'The HKSAR will fully implement all requirements to ensure national security remains the bedrock of Hong Kong's prosperity,' Lee stated, emphasizing collaboration with mainland authorities. The white paper highlights recent efforts to combat foreign interference and uphold judicial independence while addressing concerns about cross-border data security and youth education.
🌐 Analysts note the timing aligns with heightened global focus on Asia-Pacific security dynamics. While some social media users expressed curiosity about practical impacts, Lee assured residents that Hong Kong's unique status as a financial hub 'will only grow stronger through this commitment.'
