Journalists take picture and video over the water-filled barriers after an opening ceremony for China's new Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong, Wednesday, July 8, 2020. China's new national security office in Hong Kong got off to an early start on Wednesday with an official opening amidst heavy police presence.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a range of visas that will be extended from two to five years and offers of pathways to permanent residency visas. It is not clear how many Hong Kongers are expected to get the extensions. “That national security law constitutes a fundamental change of circumstances in respect to our extradition agreement with Hong Kong,” Morrison said.
In Australia, the most likely Hong Kongers to benefit from the new policies are the 10,000 already in the country on student and other temporary visas.
Good for Australia for the Hong Kong people because they are under China thumb the Hong Kong people are talented people there entrepreneur they believe capitalismBetween Hong Kong and Ghana have The most middle-class then US combine
Chinese mainlanders get more oppression, why does Australia cares about Hongkongers only? Give Chinese mainlanders the same treatment. No discrimination!
Great stuff. But can we just strengthen ties with other countries instead of poking china with a stick over and over before they declare war with us?
Austrailia comes through big time here. Congrats on a beautiful gesture. Now to the next question....are you guys accepting Americans?(and one American Bulldog) I'd like to seek asylum due to a pisspoor government who has us drowning in Covid. I'm willing to quarantine 28 days.
Hong Kongers, what a absurd term you are using. When the red neck shouting at you and ask you to go back where you come from, it really doesn’t matter if you are from HK, Taiwan or Mainland. They just don’t give a damn. 🤷♀️
Why does Australia interfere in China's internal affairs? Why not spend your time rescuing animals?The incompetence of the Australian government, the forests are burning, the earth is crying and the animals are dying.The Australian government is disgusting
Nice
Proud to be Australian today, as our Government swiftly executed this correct and necessary step. Some on the left caution about nationalistic culture wars but PRC deals no-questions death to dissidents. HongKong
As a Hong Kong citizen, i really appreciate Morrison and AUS gov’s policies. This is the 1st step we made together to fight against evil Commie china ! Everyone should value freedom, democracy and HumanRights
MrJonCryer Well done Australia!! Its about time your prime minister has done something positive as he was pretty poor during the massive wild fires (away on his holidays) and also slow off the mark and somewhat in denial over Covid-19.
manzhou19320301 good job
MrJonCryer Yes...Scott Morrison is making 'all the right moves' with China, (yes being facetious), but I agree it's the correct course.

If I go to China and start a business does a Chinese local still have to own 51% of it Do you think we should implement that in Australia
so, it is the Australians who take the initiative to provoke and interfere with China👏
See? What in the hell can't the United States be like this? Oh wait, I know.. It's because we have a real bad cold. TrumpVirus
Right on, Australia (spacewise) is in better condition than UK to help the Hong Kongers.
Too bad out president is an ass and won't do that.
Nice move by our PM
Very good Australians
Hong Kong is the act of oppressing the freedoms of Hong Kong people, especially when it comes to establishing that she is the Hong Kong security room she created while she is now pursuing security laws in China.
Applause.
sounds like somebody needs a massage
