Find out why China is slamming global critics of Hong Kong's new national security law! #HongKong #China #NationalSecurityLaw

China is hitting back at critics of Hong Kong's new national security law, labeling the opposition as 'slander.' The legislation has sparked global criticism, with China accusing the UK and others of colonialist mindsets. Beijing urged the UK to cease making groundless accusations about the law, denouncing countries that smear the legislation.

Defending the draconian security law, Beijing asserted that it grants the government more power to maintain stability in Hong Kong. Despite Western powers and the United Nations expressing concerns, China remains firm in its support of the controversial legislation.

Critics have labeled the new law as the 'final nail in the coffin' for Hong Kong, emphasizing its detrimental impact on the city's autonomy and stability. Meanwhile, in a somewhat unrelated turn of events, mainland Chinese cities are venturing into commercial space exploration, highlighting the dynamic nature of China's development.

On a related note, the explanation of Article 23 Hong Kong Security Law has stirred worry among financial professionals and businesses. As China tightens its grip on Hong Kong, the world watches closely to see the implications of this bold move.
