Measures introduced to implement National Anthem Law in HK, Macao

Draft bills to make the National Anthem Law part of the Basic Laws of the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions were introduced on Tuesday during the ongoing session of China's top legislature.

The drafts, submitted to the 30th session of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress, were accepted by the Basic Law committees and governments of both SARs, according to a report of the Standing Committee released on Tuesday.

Once the draft bills are approved by the NPC Standing Committee, both SARs will start their local legislative procedures.
