National security law for HK brings peace, order and hope to city
In the same report, the city's new chief secretary, John Lee Ka-chiu, wrote that the law has effectively guarded the city's public security and controlled the risks to national security.
The government will continue to firmly guard against national security risks and mobilize more local residents to join the collective effort, they pledged.
In the virus-plagued 2020, Lee listed the enactment of the National Security Law as the most unforgettable moment. She recalled that on the afternoon of June 30 last year, when the law was within hours of being enacted, many Hong Kong residents began to celebrate in social media groups.
"Only those who experienced the storm can share our joy. At that moment, my deepest feeling is: We finally got what we were yearning for."
