For more on this and other news around the world, let's turn to our Kim Da-mi.
Da-mi, walk us through Beijing's announcement.
Connyoung, as expected, China has invoked and will enforce policies to strengthen its grip over Hong Kong.
China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Tuesday that the Chinese government made the decision at the fourth plenary session of the 19th Communist Party of China Central Committee held in Beijing last month.
China makes it clear that Hong Kong will always be a part of China under its 'One country, two systems.'
No challenge that threatens that, particularly in Hong Kong and Macau, will be accepted by China.
Beijing added new systems that supplement basic laws and constitutions in the districts will be introduced as well as legal adjustments to enable autonomy centered on patriotism.
In addition, the districts' chief executives will fully be responsible and obedient to the Chinese government.
Appointment and dismissal systems and structures of special administrative officers, including chief executives, will also be revised and "perfected."
The Chinese Communist Party then stressed that Beijing will exercise full control over the special administrative zones in accordance with the constitution and basic law...in order to boost patriotism in Hong Kong and Macau and to prevent intervention, division and destruction due to foreign forces.
