On Tuesday’s Backchat, anti-sanctions law; and Ocean Park’s Water World
Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng has said Beijing’s anti-sanctions law could be
imposed on Hong Kong in the same way that the national security law was – by adding it Annex III of the Basic Law.
She said the anti-sanctions law is "strictly retaliatory" and will only be used to counter "unreasonable sanctions on China and Hong Kong by foreign governments".
The National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) will reportedly discuss later in August whether the mainland law should be adopted by Hong Kong as well,
after it was passed in June to allow tit-for-tat measures against foreign sanctions on Chinese nationals or entities.
How will this law change things? How practical is it? How will it be applied to Hong Kong?
From 9:15am-9:30am, we’re discussing the new Water World at Ocean Park which is set to be opened on September 21.
