Hong Kong's national security legislation will not punish people retroactively, a senior Chinese official said on Monday, touching on a key question raised by local residents, diplomats and foreign investors over the controversial law.

SHENZHEN - Hong Kong’s national security legislation will not punish people retroactively, a senior Chinese official said on Monday, touching on a key question raised by local residents, diplomats and foreign investors over the controversial law.

Beijing last month moved to directly impose the legislation on Hong Kong in a bid to tackle secession, subversion and foreign interference in the city. “Both laws include principles such as presumption of innocence, the right for criminal suspects and defendants to have legal defence, and laws not being applied restrospectively. All these principles can be stipulated in this legislation.”

This is disappointing. But China shows its patience.

Why does China government treats Hong Kong black cockroaches as super citizens?.. Fucking China government always forgive those who even invited others to invade their country! It is unfair to those who respect the law all the time!

how many national security laws does the US have?

China is always kind to HongKong ~And definitely this is a last warning

It should be. All these criminals need to be locked up.

This 'national security fiasco' can remove HK from the sight of international business community & lose them billions of dollars.

真是仁至义尽....!
