China's Parliament Approves Hong Kong National Security Law

The Chinese government proposed new legislation to strengthen enforcement in Hong Kong, aiming to prevent activities against the Chinese government and ban foreign interference. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam supports the law, but critics argue it undermines civil rights under the 'one country, two systems' model. The proposal has led to protests and clashes in Hong Kong. The Trump administration declared Hong Kong no longer autonomous, affecting its trade status with the US. Chinese lawmakers will draft the law, which will be implemented after a formal proclamation.
