Hong Kong security law concerns academics

Last month, China’s central government approved plans to enact a national security law in Hong Kong. The decision follows a year of protests in the city, which lawmakers say the new law is going to stop. The law hasn’t been written yet, but some academics are concerned that it will lead to government interference in research, restrict international collaborations and increase self-censorship. Others think research will be unaffected.
