The law will take effect from the day that it is published, the agency said.
根據新華社報導，中國人大常委會於週二一致通過《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區維護國家安全法》，此法案旨在防範和懲治與香港特別行政區有關的分裂國家、顛覆國家政權、組織實施恐怖活動和勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全等犯罪，法案將於頒佈當日即時生效。

🚨 Since Beijing first announced plans for enacting national-security legislation for Hong Kong in late May, Chinese officials have repeatedly rebuffed criticism from opposition politicians and rights activists in the city, as well as from the U.S. and other Western powers, who have decried the law as a tool for suppressing civil liberties in the Asian financial center and undercutting its promised autonomy from Beijing.
自五月下旬北京當權首次宣布制定港版國安法的計畫以來，中國官員一再駁斥來自香港政界反對派、民權運動人士以及美國等西方國家的批評，這些批評譴責這部法律將會打壓香港公民自由並削弱中國承諾的香港自治。
-enact: 制定、頒佈（法律）
-rebuff: 駁斥、回絕
-decry: 公開譴責、公然抨擊

⚠ Beijing’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office described on Tuesday the new law as a “guardian angel” that protects the freedom and peaceful lives of Hong Kong residents. It said central-government agencies would work with counterparts in the city to implement the legislation and “generate the necessary deterrent force” against threats to national security.
中國國務院港澳事務辦公室於週二的聲明表示，這項新法律是保護香港居民自由和安寧生活的「守護神」。該聲明稱，中央政府機構將與香港地方政府合作，嚴加實施法律，並且「產生必要的威懾力量」，以應對國家安全的威脅。
-counterpart: 對應的人、事物，此處指香港政府
-implement: 實施、落實
