Hong Kong legislature approves China loyalty bill

Hong Kong, May 13 (ANI): Hong Kong s largely opposition-free legislature approved a new bill that will require public officers to pledge allegiance to the pro-China government.
The bill was passed by 40 votes for and one vote against, Hong Kong Free Press reported.
Under the amended legislation, members of the 18 district councils - predominately controlled by the pro-democracy camp - will be subject to a loyalty pledge that is already required for senior government officials, civil servants, lawmakers and judges.
The new laws are part of sweeping changes that Beijing has ordered for Hong Kong in order to quash dissent and increase its control over the city.
