ANALYSIS: 'The extradition law on steroids': China taking revenge on Hong Kong a year after defiant protests

Almost one year to the day when thousands of young protesters smashed their way into Hong Kong's local government building over plans for closer legal integration with mainland China, Beijing is moving to finalise a law far more expansive and restrictive.

China's Government is set to approve a new national security law which, according to media reports, could lead to protesters and political figures being jailed for life if they're deemed to be subverting Communist Party rule or promoting Hong Kong independence. Protesters deemed to be taking part in terrorism or colluding with foreign forces will now also be the target of a secretive state security branch set up in the city and overseen directly by China's Government.

Despite assurances Hong Kong will retain its separate legal system, reports say only Chinese judges approved indirectly by Beijing will be permitted to preside over national security cases.WatchRiot police use pepper spray to disperse activists in the streets of Hong Kong as China's National People's Congress begins.Chinese authorities have confirmed a new national security bureau will be established in the city that will bypass Hong Kong's Government and answer directly to Beijing.

China showed you how to fight convid-19 and China showed you how to fight riots.

Hong Kong has lost its autonomy, 1C2S is no longer exists under the barbarians of CCP. It’s the time the world stand together to MAKE CHINA PAY! SOSHONGKONG hongkong standwithhongkong boycottchina

Yes. Evil CCP is taking revenge on Hongkongers, because we have exposed their deceit and evilness!

Your analysis - so descriptive of their action.

Will the devil HongKongPolice given more power to suppress the people? 100% yes, as they see themselves as law of HongKong.

This is not a revenge, this is straight up murdering a city. By destroying a fee trade financial hub's freedom, hongkongpolicestate is becoming an authoritarian reality. NationalSecurityLaw

Revenge, it is a right word

When CCPChina and HK Gov't constantly tramples on and insults what HongKongers cherish most, you choose to explain to them, they completely ignores it; you choose to resist, they sees it as provocation & riot. If this is not a dictatorship hegemony, what can it be called?

Do you remember how HongKongProtests break out? Because of the extradition bill,which had been withdrawn Now,China re-introduce it again as CCPSecurityLaw That's how China perform as tyranny and respond our outrage StandWithHongKong

Wch89087634 What I see from this photo is a group of gangsters, terrorists.

Military crackdown is the only way totalitarian CCP used to frighten Hongkongers, but justice and truth will never be covered by CCP’s bloody hand. Puppet HKPolice should also put into the sanction list!

CCP definitely is the biggest triad in the world. Humanities should try every means to stop their expansion. Antichinazi China

Hong Kong police are terrorist StandWithHongKong MagnitskyActNow

What China did is a gross violation and crackdown on human rights. HKers are the ones who have been resisting China’s encroachment

Apart from NationalSecurityLaw, China uses HKPolice to harm civilians HKPoliceBruality. These are CCP's revenge to HKers. Trying to kill the people who have raised question to her autocratic ruling HKprotests but not to solve a problem. It's CCP style tyranny. BoycottChina

Thanks for the brilliant article that explains how an absurd country that imposes an absurd law that almost nobody has read. The nationalsecuritylaw may be a revenge, but it is also a weapon of self destruction.

Not really a revenge, but the CCP_is_terrorist always wants to destroy Hong Kong. Now they did it. StandWithHongKong

So true! CCP and the gov just use PoliceBrutality to stop ppl to say, they just want to pass NationalSecurityLaw ! But it is actually harming the international financial centre role of HongKong

This is not a revenge, it is a plan by CCP since its takeover in HongKong . There is no way that CCP can allow HongKong operate differently with other mainland cities. In long term, HongKong will still be marginalized. But just this happen sooner than we all expect!

Revenge also comes from arrogance. That’s why CCPChina disrespects any international treaty or commitment to Hong Kong more. HKprotests NationalSecurityLaw

China learn nth last year... StandWithHongKong

Riot and violence HK police, they'll pay later😠

Sadly but true, Hong Kong is going to be destroyed completely by Chinese Community Party

Australia is obsessed with China... our politicians & media are 'stalkers' wierdly obsessed with someone else's country. 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.

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

Aussie farmers push for wool processing and manufacturing to come home from ChinaThe nation's farm lobby wants state and federal governments to look at investing in food and fibre processing, amid concerns agriculture relies too heavily on industries overseas. It’s the right thing to do..... start manufacturing in Australia again. That’s nice, wonder how that will work when this industry will need designers. You know, those useless ppl who have to pay $14.500 for a year of study now. People have short memories. There’s a reason why textile businesses in Australia have failed in the past without significant government support.

President Trump needs to stick to jobs, national security, and China to win election | Sky News AustraliaUnless President Donald Trump gets back on narrative and focuses on jobs, national security and China, then Joe Biden will continue to lead well in the polls, according to Sky News US political commentator Joe Hockey.\n\nA recent YouGov poll has presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leading President Trump 47 to 39, while the President’s approval rating sits at 41 per cent.\n\nMr Hockey said the President needs to have a clear cut through narrative in order to get back on track in polls given he trails Mr Biden in key states such as Florida, Texas, and Arizona.\n\n“Unless the President can find a way to get some economic narrative back, to talk about jobs, to continue national security … to focus on china, unless he’s on those three issues then Joe Biden is going to continue to lead,” Mr Hockey told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“Donald Trump’s got to get back in there and own the narrative, and he’s not there yet”.\n\nMr Hockey said the President can win the election though, his fortunes can turn, but he needs to “get more focused on key issues”.\n\nImage: AP\n realDonaldTrump JoeBiden JoeHockey National security? Putin is killing US troops in Afghanistan with Trump's ok. realDonaldTrump JoeBiden JoeHockey Pretty Sure he was losing in the polls last time too.... realDonaldTrump JoeBiden JoeHockey Good advice, US voters care about: Jobs, National Security & defeat of CCPChina. Agree focusing on these areas, all interfered with by communist apologists, will likely attract votes. The truth hurts CCPChina and their democratic national apologists in the US. Name & shame.
