The Commission of Legislative Affairs of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee has expressed its strong dissatisfaction and profound concern after Hong Kong's High Court said that the Emergency Regulations Ordinance is "incompatible" with the Basic Law.
"Whether the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region comply with the Basic Law of Hong Kong can only be judged and decided by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. No other authority has the right to make judgments and decisions," the commission's spokesperson Zang Tiewei said on Tuesday.
