Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday that the city needs National Security laws to remain safe, and says they are “totally constitutional and lawful,” as she continues to deny any basis for existing opposition against the law.
“Without national security, Hong Kong could not remain stable on a long-term basis.”
China’s push to assert more control over Hong Kong is a human rights issue worthy of debate at the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft said.
Recent actions of the Chinese Communist Party and President Xi Jinping have “given us absolutely no other choice” because they’ve “broken their treaty obligations,” Craft said Monday on Bloomberg Television. “This is an issue that I am going to continue to shine a light on, to continue to force into the UN space, because this belongs in the Security Council.”
