China’s proposed national security legislation will help quell concerns about political unrest in Hong Kong, the main threat to confidence in the city’s financial sector, according to Financial Secretary Paul Chan.
It’s “not national security legislation that may affect investment confidence, but people’s lack of understanding of relevant legislative work” because the Chinese government has said the legislation is only targeted at a small number of people who pose a threat to national security, Chan wrote in a Chinese-language post on his official website.
