HONG KONG ― In June 2020, China passed the new national security law (NSL) for Hong Kong, making it easier for Beijing to prosecute Hongkongers, including extraditing citizens to the mainland. As the law can punish anyone who “endangers national security” and can be interpreted in different ways, many Hongkongers have been staying low key ever since the passage of the law or have decided to leave the city for good.
Vietnam and Hong Kong (China) have enjoyed fruitful trade and investment partnership despite impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to head of the Vietnamese Trade Office in Hong Kong Vu Thi Thuy.
