China will establish a "national security body" in Hong Kong, according to the text of a controversial bill prepared by the Chinese parliament and published on Saturday June 20 by the China News Agency.

The text also provides that the law in preparation takes precedence over those of the former British colony who would conflict with it, according to the project that is preparing to impose the communist regime despite calls from western countries who say they fear the end of the autonomy of the territory.

Following last year's monster protests against Beijing's influence, President Xi Jinping's regime announced last month a national security law in Hong Kong, seen by local Democratic opposition as a way to reduce it to silence.

The principle of this law was adopted at the end of May by the annual plenary session of the National People's Congress (ANP, the Chinese Parliament), which instructed its standing committee to draft a bill. It is this text which was diffused Saturday by new China.

This document stipulates that a national security body will be established and chaired by the chief executive of Hong Kong. The current incumbent, Carrie Lam, is denounced by her opponents as a puppet from Beijing.

No date has been provided for the adoption of the text, but New China said the project would be "soon" finalized.
