On Friday's Backchat, we talked about the National Security Law and the significance of it, as Hong Kong marks the 5th anniversary of the promulgation and introduction of the legislation on June 30th.
During a visit to the SAR earlier this month, Beijing's top official overseeing Hong Kong affairs, Xia Baolong, described the law as a "guardian" of the One Country Two Systems principle, and called on all sectors of society to safeguard Hong Kong's stability.
We spoke to experts about the law, and the need to adopt a holistic approach to uphold national security.
We then concluded the programme with a look at the latest on the property front, after Hong Kong's home prices inched up for a second consecutive month in May.
