New act not applicable to Hong Kong, Macao SARs (Xinhua) Updated: 2004-12-17 23:56
China's top legislature, the National People's Congress (NPC), explained in
Beijing on Friday that the anti-secession law it plans to enact will not be
applicable to the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions (SARs) of
China.
"The draft law against secession is not applicable to the Hong Kong SAR or
the Macao SAR," said a senior lawmaker in charge of the Legislative Affairs
Commission of the 10th NPC Standing Committee.
The 10th NPC Standing Committee will examine the draft anti-secession law at
its 13th session scheduled for next week, according to the decision made at the
chairmanship meeting of the Standing Committee held in Beijing Friday
afternoon.
