BREAKING: China's ceremonial legislature has endorsed a national security law for Hong Kong that has strained relations with the United States and Britain. The National People's Congress approved the bill as it wrapped up an annual session.
Security personnel prepare to clear the stands as delegates leave after the closing session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Wednesday, May 27, 2020.
The National People’s Congress approved the bill as it wrapped up an annual session that was held under intensive anti-coronavirus controls. The measure and the way it is being enacted prompted Washington to announce it no longer will treat Hong Kong as being autonomous from Beijing.
