Sing Tao Daily, a Chinese-language newspaper circulated in North America and Europe, has published a full-page commentary in Toronto and New York by the paper’s chairman in support of Beijing’s plan to implement controversial national security legislation in Hong Kong.

Titled “Absolutely Necessary” and written by Ho Tsu-Kwok, the majority shareholder of the paper, the article repeats the Chinese Communist Party’s remarks on the Kong Kong people’s fight for democracy and autonomy and supports the regime’s push to enact the new national security law.
