HONG KONG/BEIJING (Bloomberg): Beijing’s national security office in Hong Kong carried out its first known joint operation with city officials, marking an expansion of China’s direct law enforcement in the financial hub.
Local authorities on Thursday night announced they were investigating a case of alleged foreign collusion with China’s Office for Safeguarding National Security. The office interviewed six people after requesting the support of Hong Kong police using new powers granted last month, according to a statement.
