Chinese-controlled Media: Beijing to Bypass Hong Kong’s Legislature and Push National Security Law

According to Chinese-controlled news media South China Morning Post, Singtao Daily, OnCC and HK01, the PRC’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) members in Beijing were notified to attend a briefing session in the evening of May 21. Xia Baolong, Chinese Communist Party member and director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, is expected to be present.

Some delegates foresee that Beijing will address Hong Kong’s national security issues at the two sessions (“lianghui (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/21015)”), including appending national security legislation into Annex III of the Basic Law for the so-called purpose to curb “foreign interference and terrorism”.

Sources said Beijing will invoke Article 18 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law and directly annex the anti-subversion law into the city’s constitution have earlier announced their similar proposals to Beijing (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/21000).

According to Apple Daily, foreign consulates from US, UK, Canada, Japan and Australia and the European Union office in Hong Kong have yet to receive any similar news.
