"Almost all countries have their own national security laws. It is unthinkable therefore that our National Security Law should be a cause for concern for some countries. The international community should be fair and not adopt a double standard. The Law has been effective in restoring stability so far. Advocacies of 'Hong Kong independence' and collusions with external forces have visibly subsided, as have acts of violence and blatant defiance of law and order."
