Boris Johnson said the national security law would breach the treaty between China and the UK and would “dramatically erode” Hong Kong’s autonomy. 

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the proposed national security law would be a “clear violation” of China’s international obligations and would “undermine” existing commitments to protect the rights and the freedoms of the people of Hong Kong, as set out in the Joint Declaration.
