The Chinese government's moves will have Hong Kong's economy working, says Lee Hsien Loong. Soon after the decision, the Hong Kong government announced the disqualification of the Civic Party's Alvin Yeung Ngok-kiu, Dennis Kwok Wing-hang and Kwok Ka-ki, as well as the Professionals Guild's Kenneth Leung Kai-cheong. Earlier this year, Beijing's top legislative body passed the national security law, which came into effect in Hong Kong by promulgation. "We watch carefully and with some concern what's happening in Hong Kong," Lee said. In Hong Kong, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said she would not tolerate foreign governments smearing the move to disqualify the four lawmakers.
