213
In order to seek re-election as the chief executive of Hong Kong, Carrie Lam issued a new “Policy Address” on the 6th, stating that she is actively promoting the local legislative work of Article 23 of the Basic Law. This draft law related to the Chinese Communist Party’s national security law caused a huge controversy in Hong Kong from 2002 to 2003, triggering a demonstration by 500,000 people. As a result, the final legislative process had to be shelved.
