“We expect China to respect Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms and high degree of autonomy,” Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office said in a statement.“The United States condemns the PRC proposal to impose national security legislation on Hong Kong and strongly urges Beijing to reconsider,” he posted on Twitter. “We stand with the people of Hong Kong."
The proposed legislation would permit Beijing to sidestep Hong Kong’s own legislative body to limit protests or other activities that Beijing’s authoritarian rulers consider subversive.Pro-democracy activists have called for mass protests against the new national-security law. Critics say Beijing is using the COVID-19 pandemic to push through the law and put an end to mass protests against China’s attempt to impose its rule on Hong Kong.
The Globe and Mail reported Friday that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and U.S. law enforcement authorities are warning academics and corporations in both countries that they are at increased risk of having their data and technology stolen, especially research on vaccines and other treatments for the coronavirus. Canada has announced $1.2-billion for COVID-19 research.
