China passed a security law that gives Beijing sweeping powers over Hong Kong Tuesday morning.
The territory's Cable TV, citing an unidentified source, said the law was passed unanimously by China's parliament.
It sets the stage for the most radical changes to the former British colony since it was handed back to China in 1997.
