(ANSA) - BEIJING, JUNE 20 - China will set up "a national security agency" in Hong Kong. This was reported by the state agency Xinhua. In recent weeks protests have re-erupted in the former British colony against Beijing after the approval of the controversial security law by the Chinese Parliament. The establishment of a national security agency in Hong Kong, led by a delegate administrator, is foreseen in the draft of the ad hoc law on national security issued in part today by the Permanent Committee of the National People's Congress, the Chinese legislative assembly, released by the agency.

The plan foresees that the existing laws on the matter in British excolonia must be subject to the new national legislation. Any interpretative power on the matter will be referred to the Permanent Committee. (HANDLE).
