HONG KONG, June 28 (China Daily/ANN): Minor opposition won't derail a proposed national security law for Hong Kong, according to delegates from the special administrative region (SAR) to the nation's top legislature.

Before departing for Beijing to attend a three-day meeting of the National People's Congress Standing Committee scheduled to start on Sunday, Hong Kong's delegates called on citizens to focus on making constructive suggestions to improve the legislation.

The failure of efforts in 2003 to pass legislation in Hong Kong on national security under Article 23 of the Basic Law shows that the territory has not been able to perform that duty on its own, said Tam. The legal loophole has been exploited by some separatists to undermine Hong Kong's order and even endanger national security, he added.
