The measures are part of Beijing's efforts to consolidate its increasingly authoritarian grip on Hong Kong following the imposition of a national security law in June, which critics see as a tool to crush dissent.
Britain said the changes breached a 1984 Joint Declaration signed by then Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in which Hong Kong's autonomy was guaranteed under a"one country, two systems" agreement.The US spokesman, who did not want to be identified by name, said Beijing must uphold its international obligations under the Joint Declaration.
Legislative Council elections, already postponed once to September with the government citing COVID-19, would be held in December, she said."We are ... deeply concerned by the delay of the September LegCo elections for the second time," the US spokesman said. The United States has imposed sanctions on Chinese officials over the crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong and announced an end to the special economic treatment the territory had long enjoyed under US law.
Let China fail
不听不听，王八念经
Condemns my ASS !!!!
Looking forward US could further do more against China StandWithHongKong
“Patriot” is just CCP’s stupid excuse to ensure only puppet can be voted in HK. The democracy regression in today’s HK is like Nazi Germany in 1933. CCP is the biggest enemy to democracy & freedom in 21st century. StandWithHongKong Chinazi
The CCP is killing off any form of democracy in HongKong in order to silent dissent and continue the corruptions and collusions via the muppets planted in the LegCo. World, let's continue to stand with the brave HongKongers fighting against the tyranny. StandWithHongKong
Y do u even bother.....hk is china lah.....so they can do wat they like ya.
China has shown AGAIN CLEARLY that it does not uphold its promises.Solemn promises made on the Joint Declaration supposed to guarantee democracy,HumanRights,freedom in HongKong-all gone now. Countries should ACT.SANCTIONS+Restrictions against China!It can't be biz as usual!
In fact, condemnation has no effect on CCP. A stronger response is necessary. The actions of this dictatorship have threatened the security of the world. The free society must be more united and fight for human rights and freedom. HongKongers will continue to resist to the end.
Without the rule of law, Hong Kong would become as corrupt as China. CCP have not been showing respect for the rule of law, but mocking and trampling on the rule of law.
Ccp needs no participation fr others. Dictators can solve out everything. Under CCP's rule, there's no hope 4 freedom, democracy or human rights. World powers pls take firm actions 2 fight against it now. Pls save the innocent, oppressed n weak fight4freedom standwithhk save47
