>Sufficiency is in the eye of the beholder, and relative to the norms of each society, no?

Maybe but no law at all is not sufficient to any objective observer.

Are you arguing that HK should adopt China’s security law and stop resisting?

Are you arguing China should have accepted HK’s proposal in the 90’s to fulfill BL 23?

Unclear what your point is. Oftentimes no law is preferable to bad law, given what’s at risk and a lack of compromise. Examples of this being “sufficient” are plentiful in any society where the people have a strong representation.
