On 28 February 2024, the Security Bureau of the Central Government of Hong Kong closed the public consultation on Safeguarding National Security Ordinance implementing Article 23 of the Basic Law. The ordinance covers the government's constitutional duty to safeguard national security, recommendations on offences, and proposals to give proportionate extraterritorial effect to some offences. The ordinance addresses risks posed by new information technologies and would classify actions endangering national security, such as sabotage of public infrastructure and unauthorised acts related to such systems involving computers or electronic systems, as offences.
