With the institutional safeguards for national security in place, the special administrative region itself has also turned a new page, with stronger economic competitiveness and a safer societal environment.
Life continues to improve for Kate Lee Hoi-wu, a 52-year-old cafe owner in Hong Kong who suffered a lot in the city s violence-defined 2019.

HONG KONG - Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor on Tuesday warned that despite a year of general stability following the introduction of the National Security Law for Hong Kong, the city still faces real threats to national security.
The risks came from external anti-China forces, Lam said at a media briefing on Tuesday ahead of the weekly Executive Council meeting. Some foreign politicians, together with criminals who fled Hong Kong during and after the 2019 social unrest, wantonly denigrated the city s efforts to safeguard national security and stirred up discontented emotions among the people of Hong Kong.
