Article 23 National Security Ordinance enacted (Safeguarding National Security Ordinance)

The Hong Kong SAR's own Article 23 national-security legislation (Safeguarding National Security Ordinance) was enacted on 23 March 2024, supplementing the 2020 National Security Law imposed by Beijing. Important context for movers — the law substantially expands sedition, treason, and state-secrets offences with extra-territorial reach. Practical impact for ordinary skilled workers is generally limited but worth understanding before relocation.
