'Strangling the jewel in the crown': UK warns Beijing to pull back over Hong Kong

The foreign secretary said the law also conflicted with Article 23 of Hong Kong's mini-constitution known as the Basic Law, which stipulates that only the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can enact laws to prohibit "any act of treason, secession, sedition or subversion" against the Chinese Central Government.

Presently, Washington grants Hong Kong a special trade status owing to its autonomy, however this could change if US legislators invoke theThe law requires the US to impose sanctions against officials held responsible for human rights abuses in Hong Kong as well as determine whether the city continues to warrant special status.Mr Raab acknowledged he did not expect China to change course.

That's what they want. Stay and obey or leave.

The UK , who are they kidding , it's 2020 not the Boxer Rebellion.

Hong Kong police: beat the citizens, gang police. American police: Freedom and democracy, keep the city peaceful.

FreeHK

I can't imagine how HongKong erode in just one year; CCP China demolished all the contributions of HongKongers.

Warning is useless If Chinazi would listen,it could never do that Thus,the concrete action is needed to punish China StandWithHongKong

Give them alyssum in the UK!

Thank you for StandWithHK 🙏🏻

‘Warns’ lol and what are the British going to do ? Speaking of pearls, why don’t they just sit down shut up and clutch theirs.

aaronelizebath China is now puting jewels on a clown. This must be stopped.

If you read more materials other than only read the headline from medias, you will know that China has not stopped one country, two systems, just to maintain hong Kong's security, there is nothing wrong with this.

China is a country that never keeps its promises. Hope UK could take immediate action to save HK

The CCP never keeps any promises, and never listens. BoycottChineseProducts

The case of HK illustrates how China can turn an international city into a complete police state. When the falling of HK is inevitable, at least the free world should stay more vigilant facing a rising aggressive China. BoycottChina, and stop economic reliance on it.

HongKong 🇭🇰 is not the only victim of China's totalitarian rule. Stand up before they leave you no choices.

UK should consider the next step because China doesn't listen.

fCCP fChina

Taking a breather from the race baiting ABC?

1 country 2 systems was meant to last till 2047. The CCP has been eroding the rights of HKers. They are the people to remind us why democracy is worth fighting for. Citizens no longer have the right to speak critically of the corrupt government. Tienanmen, Tibet, Xinjiang now HK.

Thats rich after a century of stealing the jewels and the crown

please notice the twitter handle on the sign..... also the person sharing the post on instagram who supports and promotes this
