ARTICLE 23 (LAWS AGAINST SECESSION, TREASON) NEEDS AMENDMENT?
Article 23 provides for such laws to be enacted by the Hong Kong SAR, (ie they will be Hong Kong laws not Chinese national laws
applied to Hong Kong).
Hong Kong's existing Crimes Ordinance already contains provisions
on treason. Will need amendment to take account of change of
sovereignty. But no essential difference between having such laws
before and after 1997.
Any offences would of course be tried in Hong Kong.
