BEIJING, CHINA - MAY 28: Chinese president Xi Jinping, applauds the results of a vote on a new draft security bill for Hong Kong during the closing session of the National People's Congress on May 28, 2020 in Beijing, China.

The draft law, which has drawn international concern, is set to address issues such as secession, subversion, terrorism, and foreign interference, and comes after a year of anti-government protests in the semi-autonomous region.
