China’s central bank has said that it will unswervingly support Hong Kong’s role as an international financial center.

The People’s Bank of China will work to maintain “Hong Kong’s economic and financial stability and prosperity,” according to a statement posted late Thursday on the institution’s website. The PBOC said it resolutely supports the national security legislation for Hong Kong, which will protect national security in the special administrative region.
