As the law was signed by President Xi Jinping little more than six weeks after it was first unveiled, Beijing described it as a"sword" hanging over the heads of those who endanger national security. The contents of the law have so far been kept secret from Hong Kong's 7.5 million inhabitants, sparking alarm, anger and fear.
The United States, Britain, the European Union and the United Nations rights watchdog have all voiced fears it could be used to stifle criticism of Beijing, which wields similar laws to crush dissent on the mainland. The law bypassed Hong Kong's fractious legislature and comes into effect on Tuesday evening, according to the city's current leader Carrie Lam.
A summary of the law published by the official state news agency Xinhua this month said it would cover subversion, secession, terrorism and colluding with foreign forces. China's security agencies will also be able to set up shop publicly in the city for the first time. They have said the law will only target a minority of people, will not harm political freedoms in the city and will restore business confidence after a year of historic pro-democracy protests."I urge the international community to respect our country's right to safeguard national security and Hong Kong people's aspirations for stability and harmony," city leader Lam told the UN Human Rights Council in a video message on Tuesday.
