HONG KONG – Hong Kong’s sole delegate to China’s top legislative body said Monday that many Hong Kong residents support a new national security law being imposed by Beijing in the hopes that it will help the city regain stability, despite concerns that it will be used to curb opposition in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.Tam Yiu Chung, Hong Kong's representative to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China's ceremonial parliament, said that over 1.8 million Hong Kong citizens signed a petition last month indicating their support of the legislation.“In the past year, many things have happened in Hong Kong, especially violent incidents," Tam said in an interview, referring to pro-democracy protests last year that.
