Discussion on Establishing Specialized Courts for Hong Kong Security Law at China's National People's Congress

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] China is reportedly considering establishing a specialized court in relation to the "Hong Kong National Security Law (Hong Kong Security Law)," which has faced backlash not only from Hong Kong but also from the United States and other countries.

According to the pro-China Hong Kong media Wen Wei Po on the 25th, this claim was made at the full meeting of the Hong Kong delegation to the National People's Congress (NPC), attended by Han Zheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and Vice Premier.

Cheung Man-chi, founding chairman of the Hong Kong and China Lawyers Association, argued, "A Hong Kong Security Law court should be established in the Hong Kong courts, and judges should be Chinese citizens among Hong Kong permanent residents who do not have overseas residency rights." Additionally, he stated, "A National Security Committee should be created in Hong Kong, where both civilians and government officials assist the Chief Executive in deciding policies related to safeguarding Hong Kong's national security and take responsibility for comprehensive execution of related tasks."

Furthermore, pro-China parties within Hong Kong have begun active movements to enact the Hong Kong Security Law. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) has started collecting signatures for the Hong Kong Security Law both online and on the streets.
