Deputy Secretary for Justice Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan weighed in on Saturday after the apex court quashed the convictions earlier in the week, marking the first successful legal challenge over the implementation rules of the Beijing-imposed national security law.
“The legislation regarding national security is not in a completed form, but in a continuous form,” Cheung said after appearing on a radio show.
He added that activities endangering the country changed constantly.
Sun Qingye, deputy director of Beijing’s Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong, also said on Friday that the implementation of the law should continue to be improved.
He noted any decisions on whether to amend the law would rest with the country’s top legislature, the National People’s Congress.
