"Hong Kong authorities have given the police the authority to access and decrypt electronic devices, including smartphones and laptops, for foreign residents as well as visitors passing through, if necessary."
"The government has legislated to provide it," Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on the 29th. It also stated that "Chinese authorities summoned the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong who protested this."
The SCMP also reported that on the 23rd of this month, Hong Kong authorities published in the Official Gazette the implementing rules for the National Security Protection Ordinance (Article 23 of the Basic Law), which outlines the above points, and that related content was conveyed to foreign diplomatic agencies in Hong Kong.
I have notified Seki. The Hong Kong authorities have significantly strengthened the provisions to curb anti-government activities in the implementing rules for Article 23 of the Basic Law. The main points include "false or misleading statements that threaten national security."
The report stated that those who provide information could face up to three years in prison and a fine of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 10.23 million yen).
Furthermore, police authorities may identify individuals who are reasonably suspected of being external political organizations or foreign spies.
The government has made it possible to impose sanctions on organizations and to order the removal of online messages deemed to threaten national security from electronic platforms.
