Critics see the law as the most serious threat to a"one country, two systems" formula, agreed when the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997 to protect its freedoms and role as a global financial centre. In the video, posted on the government's website, Lam decried a"terrorist threat" against a"traumatized" city, saying advocates of independence were"colluding with foreign forces" and undermining security.

Another government clip posted online shows Hong Kong as a dot that is part of greater China on a map made up of many dots, with the message:"Without a country, there is no family" and"Upholding national security, duty of every citizen".
