The local legislation aims to fulfil Article 23 of the Basic Law, which guarantees the 'one country, two systems' framework by prohibiting acts that, in the government's eyes, threaten the regime security of the Central People's Government.
The local government can potentially address the other five crimes set out in Article 23 - treason, sedition, theft of state secrets, prohibition of foreign political organisations from conducting political activities in Hong Kong and prohibition of local political groups from establishing ties with foreign political organizations.
