China’s top legislative body will discuss a bill next week to authorize Hong Kong’s jurisdiction over part of the redeveloped Huanggang Port in Shenzhen, which will adopt a “co-location” arrangement when it opens next month. The meetings, to be hosted by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) in Beijing between June 23 and 26, were announced on Tuesday after its chairman, Zhao Leji, chaired a discussion at the Great Hall of the People in the capital on the same day. According to state news agency Xinhua, the upcoming NPC session will review a bill regarding a decision to “authorize jurisdiction over the Hong Kong Port Area at Huanggang Port and its related extended areas.” The proposed agenda will also include reviewing a progress report on a pilot scheme that allows Hong Kong and Macau legal practitioners to obtain mainland qualifications and practice law in the nine mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area. The meeting comes ahead of the scheduled opening of the redeveloped Huanggang Port Building next month.
