Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam repeatedly defended the need for Beijing’s national security law in Hong Kong during her weekly press conference on June 23.

Lam had a short message for those who continue to raise questions about how the law will damage Hong Kong’s “one country, two systems” model. She said those critics probably “have never clearly had an accurate impression of [the principle] of ‘one country.’”
