Abstract

Hong Kong has experienced major political movements over past years, and the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress decided to enact the Hong Kong National Security Law instead of waiting for local legislation. It has caused a significant change on the constitutional principles of Hong Kong including “one country, two systems”, high degree of autonomy, balances between human rights and national security, et cetera. They concluded by arguing that the Hong Kong National Security Law has caused a paradigm shift in Hong Kong’s national security constitution.
