		Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23 is the basis (parent statute) of a security law proposed by the Hong Kong Government.
		Bob Allcock, Hong Kong's Solicitor-General, has been perceived as more even-handed in his approach and has frequently argued that the laws proposed by the government are less restrictive than the colonial era laws that they are intended to replace: The Solicitor General is a government position in several countries, dealing with legal affairs.
		Some banks in Hong Kong were reported to be considering relocating if the proposed Article 23 is passed, out of the fear that the laws would restrict the free flow of information.

	UNESCO - Education - Assistant Director-General's Speeches - The Open University of Hong kong
		OUHK is at the forefront of these developments because universities that teach at a distance are inevitably the first to appreciate both the opportunities — and the risks — of any new technology that changes the way we move and manipulate information and knowledge.
		The key reason is that the students of open universities, who are mostly working adults, live in the contemporary media environment, have access to new technologies, and want to use them intelligently in their studies.
		I am sure that OUHK students in mainland China appreciate the quality and scope of the course materials that you give them and also the support of their local tutors who understand the environment that they are living in.
