China has announced the suspension of Hong Kong's extradition treaty and criminal co-operation agreement with Australia in a tit-for-tat move over the city's controversial new security law.

China has announced the suspension of Hong Kong's extradition treaties and criminal co-operation agreements with Australia, Canada and Britain in a tit-for-tat move over the city's controversial new security law.

China has accused the countries of interfering in its internal affairs and defended the security law as crucial to restore order in Hong Kong following a wave of pro-democracy protests marred by violence. Mr Wang accused the countries of having used the national security law as"an excuse to unilaterally announce the suspension of extradition treaties" with Hong Kong. Australia-China relations have become increasingly frosty over the past year, with China advising tourists and international students not to travel to Australia due to"racist incidents against Asians."

The National Security Law is crazy and anti-human. Of course AUS should thus suspend the extradition treaty with HK. The ccp revenge act is just an meaningless move.

A lot of corrupt officials looking at Australia as a safe haven now.

It’s fair.

If the moves is legal then it proves that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China....

and... and... we will close down all China towns and send all your Uni students back🖕 😁

World powers need to smoke weed and chill.

The free world should stand up together against China. Yesterday it was tibet and Uyghur, today it’s HongKong and iran, tomorrow it’ll be the whole world.

No different to USA's blatant Fascist grab for power.
