Editor’s note: In the second part of this series, China Daily presents figures about the special administrative region’s development three years after the implementation of the National Security Law for Hong Kong, which serves as a powerful rebuttal to the skeptical views expressed concerning the law. The facts are also a reminder that nobody should jump to conclusions when something new emerges, but should let time reveal the truth.
