Thousands of police have been put on alert across Hong Kong to shut down any demonstrations and break up protestors attempting to encircle the city’s legislative council building, where the national anthem bill is under discussion.

Police fired pepper bullets into the crowd and at least 180 arrests were made as residents protested Beijing’s proposed laws which would outlaw insulting China’s national anthem.

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam attempted to reassure citizens about the laws, saying they should wait to see the details before protesting too strongly. The bill is expected to pass but authorities are still unsure how it will be implemented. Image: AP

The majority of Hongkongers disagree with the National anthem law but it cannot be pulled down by the pro-democratic lawmakers. Protest is the only way left to voice out .

The right of expression our demands is seriously eroded. How can you trust CCP and it’s puppet hkgov saying that imposing NationalSecurityLaw will not affect your interest in HongKong ?

The truth is HK now HKPoliceState. Police use excessive unlawful force to disperse protesters, brutally beat arrested ppl, pepper spray & insult journalists, indiscriminate arrest of peaceful protesters. All are recorded & prove they aren't professional.

Only one voice is allowed in CCPChina . Follow them or u r in trouble like Hong Kong StandWithHongKong

Pompeo casts doubt on Hong Kong autonomy from China | Sky News AustraliaUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he no longer believes 'Hong Kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from China' as the future of trade between Hong Kong and the US is placed in doubt.\n\nUnder laws passed last year, the United States must certify Hong Kong remains separate from China or it risks losing its beneficial trading status. \n\nUS officials will now determine whether to impose sanctions or other measures on the city.\n\nIn Hong Kong, police have arrested at least 300 protestors as they flooded streets to voice anger over China's new national security legislation.\n\nThere's been an international outcry over Beijing's proposal with fears it would spell an end to freedoms in the semi-autonomous territory.\n\nThere was a heavy police presence around the legislative council as they debated a bill that would criminalise disrespect of the Chinese national anthem.\n\nImage: AP mikepompeo I'm sorry what? The british gave Hong Kong back to china... This just shows how American propaganda works. Imagine if china started making claims about how America treats Puerto Rico? Or maybe they have words about Gauntonimo bay in Cuba? America has no moral grounds to stand on. mikepompeo Rather then learning from the success in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the CCP always prefers to fallback to the mantra of being a genocidal regime that rather lie, threaten, coerce, bully, steal,..their way to prosperity. It is time to cease all international business with this regime!

Riot police 'fire at' Hong Kong protesters during national anthem debateHeavily-armed riot police have confronted protesters in Hong Kong on the same day politicians are debating a controversial bill aimed at criminalising abuse of the Chinese national anthem. given that Nine News is owned by the CCP, I wouldn't be surprised if they side with them. Well it's part of China. Just because the Brits stole it once as a staging point for its opium trade, does not change that it is part of China.
