Except in specific circumstances, the HKSAR shall exercise jurisdiction over criminal cases stipulated in this law, the draft says.
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TO SET UP NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICE IN HKSAR
The draft law provides that the Central People's Government shall establish an office of safeguarding national security in the HKSAR.
The office is obligated to analyze and appraise national security situation in the HKSAR, and provide comments and suggestions for major strategies and policies in this regard.
The office is required to supervise, guide, coordinate with and support the HKSAR in performing its duties on safeguarding national security.
It shall also collect and analyze intelligence information concerning national security, and deal with criminal cases concerning national security in accordance with the law.
The office and related organs of the central authorities may exercise jurisdiction over a tiny number of criminal cases that jeopardize national security under specific circumstances, which is an important manifestation of the central government's overall jurisdiction over the HKSAR, the official explained while briefing lawmakers.
