Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has warned opponents of Beijing's plan to impose national security legislation in the financial hub to stop"smearing" the effort, saying those who did were"the enemy of the people".
The Chinese government and Ms Lam's Beijing-backed city administration say the law will not curtail freedoms but will target a small number of"troublemakers" and help bring stability after a year of anti-government protests. "Hong Kong has become a gaping hole in national security, and our city's prosperity and stability are at risk," said Ms Lam as she stood flanked by the Chinese and Hong Kong flags, the first bigger than the second.Only a few protesters have been calling for the city's independence, a suggestion that is anathema to China.
This year, the coronavirus outbreak brought a lull in protests but they have resumed since Beijing announced the plan for the security law.
Fvck China
Good riddance I say. If Australia has a national security law then China should have one for HK. Fair is fair. Law is law. Absolute disgrace how these rioters destroyed Hk! It WAS such a great city now it looks like a war zone. Stop burning everything and stop people travelling
I’m Spartacus, I StandWithHongKong.
CarrieLam: “The people are the enemy of the people!” ... erm... well... mmm...
Enemies of crazy Lam are the friends of Hong Kong people. People been praying for her painful death or suicidal every single day.
CCP signed the Sino-British agreement for HK, valid till 2047. The CCP has thrown it out with this national security law. It's that simple. No one can trust the CCP now. It's become a fight for truth and democracy. Or CCP corruption and blackmail.

Australia ‘being punished’ by China as Australian man faces execution | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australia “is currently being punished” by China for “daring to suggest the world needs an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19,” after Beijing announced an Australian man will face the death penalty after being found guilty of drug importation charges.\n\nKarm Gillespie was arrested in 2013 for drug trafficking charges, and was last week convicted and will now face the death penalty.\n\n“Gillespie has been in custody in China for seven years yet only now do we get clarity on charges, conviction and sentence,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“China routinely executes more prisoners each year than any other country.\n\n“But there is little doubt that this latest sentence fits the pattern of trying to punish Australia.\n\n “This is just another insight into the political system we are dealing with.”\n\n Which ignorant Australian thought he could get away with importing drugs to China. He totally deserves it. Don't do illegal sh*t. I think it’s a matter for them. Not us.
