China's parliament has passed national security legislation for Hong Kong, the city's Cable TV reports, setting the stage for the most radical change to the former British colony's way of life since it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
Cable TV, citing an unidentified source, said on Tuesday the law was passed unanimously by the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress.
Beijing introduced the law in response to last year's often-violent pro-democracy protests in the city. It will tackle subversion, terrorism, separatism and collusion with foreign forces, officials have said.
A draft of the law, which will come into force as soon as it is gazetted in Hong Kong, has yet to be published.
More to come.
