Hong Kong National Security Law: John Lee Ka-chiu warned of increasing Hong Kong's terrorism threat level, Police at blockaded areas to conduct random security checks on citizens.
Editor's Note:
In Hong Kong, the threat of terrorist attacks is currently assessed to be "moderate" on a three-level scale, meaning that there is a possibility of attack though there is no specific intelligence suggesting that the city is a likely target. (https://www.legco.gov.hk/research-publications/english/essentials-1718ise05-public-preparedness-for-terrorist-attacks.htm)
(25 May) Beijing forced the National Security Law to be passed in Hong Kong. In writing, Secretary of Security John Lee Ka-chiu stated that he was gravely concerned about the ten cases involving explosives and dangerous substances from last year. He wrote, "there are also signals showing that home-grown terrorism is breeding in Hong Kong" and to "not allow terrorism to plant it roots and grow in the SAR." He further indicated that the government was keeping a close watch on the situation and would not rule out raising the local threat level of terrorist attacks. Besides upgrading the level for terrorist threats and attacks, the police would very likely start blockading high-risk areas and conduct high-profile patrols. They would also perform searches of personal belongings and security checks in public spaces. He reaffirmed that safeguarding national security was the SAR's constitutional responsibility and that the alarm had been raised for terrorist activities. As the Secretary of Security, he fully supported the National People's Congress' decision to set up national security laws for Hong Kong.
//In a late-night press release, Commissioner of Police Chris Tang declared that the police fully supported the draft of "National Security Law" in Hong Kong and would fulfill their duty to work alongside other disciplined services under the jurisdiction Security Bureau to safeguard national security.
