Beijing hints at looming pressure on Hong Kong courts - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Hong Kong's High Court on Monday overturned a recent local government ban on face masks made under a little-used emergency regulations provision.

Issued by the legislative affairs commission of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the statement said Hong Kong courts had no power to rule on the constitutionality of the city’s laws, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Beijing’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office also expressed concern at the ruling, as did Xie Chuntao, a deputy director of the Communist Party’s Central Party School.

Simon Young, a professor at the University of Hong Kong’s law school, said that while it could be “mere opinion”, the statement could also point ultimately to a decision that curbs local courts.
