The Wall Street Journal’s China Bureau Chief Jonathan Cheng says there could be more than one million protesters on the streets of Hong Kong on the anniversary of 1997 Hong Kong transfer. Mainland China has officially passed the new national security laws which will be imposed on Hong Kong which cover the issues of secession, subversion, and terrorism. Mr Cheng said the general content of the bill is widely understood but there is growing confusion about the specific details.
He said the annual July 1 protests in Hong Kong in 2019 were one of the reasons these new laws have been legislated, and while the official Hong Kong ceremony will occur to celebrate the official handover, there will be thousands if not more than a million protesting. “There is big motivation on the part of many of these people who don’t like the national security bill to get on the street tomorrow”.

We interfere in China and then 'sook' like children if they interfere here.. the Australian national psyche needs to 'get some help' and to grow up. Sadly but true, Hong Kong is going to be destroyed completely by Chinese Community Party Riot and violence HK police, they'll pay later😠

Dozens arrested at 'silent protest' in Hong Kong against proposed security lawThe proposed national security law raises concerns among Hong Kong democracy activists and some foreign governments that Beijing is further eroding the city's autonomy. Good, lock these US paid traitors up... Get tough like the US... Where are all the comments on the protests. Hello? Hello? Racist Bots didnt pick up this one. Strange. You know what, you know your reporting is unvias as possible though. Youll get hate from both sides. So theres that for you guys. Today families and friends may still be able to pick up the arrested outside police stations. Once the law is enforced, whoever gets arrested will be at risk of being disappeared or sent to China for secrete prosecution. Just like how CCP has been treating HumanRights lawyers
