Hong Kong China's legislature has approved a proposal to impose a highly contentious national security law in Hong Kong, in an unprecedented move that critics say threatens fundamental political freedoms and civil liberties in the semi-autonomous territory.

China's rubber-stamp parliament, the National People's Congress, passed the resolution Thursday to enact the sweeping security legislation, which bans sedition, secession and subversion of the central government and allows mainland China's state security agencies to operate in the city.

Why US kills their own citizens and on the other hand cares so much about Chinese people? I believe CNN and Trump must be controlled by Chinese.

burn it down

FOX News, CNN, Drudge, Breitbart. NONE of them can be trusted. The only trustworthy news source is WNN – The Woke News Network. No spin, just FACTS. Retweet. Spread the word. Spread THE TRUTH.

To restore the United States, to disband the black police in the United States, and to appeal for democracy, we need to support black Americans to fight for equal rights

Lol US Mainstream Media and Politicians are way more focused on HK ‘protest’ than their own riot. Apparently, They support one and condemn the other one, which one do they condemn? — whichever one challenge white supremacy.

It ’s just against the mob, for Hong Kong ’s long-term stability

We need to Boycott Twitter ads & money making Links, until it hurts financially, & they remove Trump or fact ck every one of hisTweets!

While Pigpeo & Trump cheer on Xi's Dictatorship over Hong Kong & at the same time try to blame China for Covid. All While the Trump Mafia have their pocket filled by China. Trump lovers really are 'too stupid to LV.'

We will never give up StandWithHongKong SOSHK

Fight for BLACK! suck AMERICA

save our kids in Hong Kong!

The number of deaths in the US is still increasing,What is the government doing?🤬🤬🤬

Кто-то верит в это?

get real people, wwhen the 'brits' walked away from hong kong; & turned over to the 'red chinese communist' was matter of time before they took full control ! worst case for them (chinese) was 50 years ! so stop complaining !

Just wondering if these kids really understand what they are protesting against. They look too young. Where are the adults?

You call that a 'House?' As a matter of Physics, Physiology, Psychology, Philosophy, Laws of Logic & Legal Form 'The House' cannot vote to give up 'The People' bc what precedes such vote is 'Resignation of The House.' Hong Kong is back to the drawing board. :| SecPompeo Auspol

CNN in heaven, suppressing people’s rights. Sad day for China. Communism starts with socialism

China should keep its word to Hong Kong and give its people the right to vote, etc. China will not be well served by a Hong Kong that is not free.

The nationalsecuritylaw has suppressed lots of rights of HongKongers. Like the extend of creativity, freedom of speech and press. Anything we do could be suspected anti-CCP.

GOPLeader FYI

realDonaldTrump marcorubio SecPompeo So another trade war?

Good to stop those terrorists and return hk a nice place as serval years ago.

Please stand with Hong Kong citizens who fight for democracy and freedom

how about this?

What about Indian Occupied Kashmir, and Palestine or Western powers & Western Media just use these issues for their geopolitical benefits !

Greatest ironic today: a rubber-stamp parliament suppressing its own rubber-stamp parliament in Hong Kong. None of them represented the People of Hong Kong.

The reason why the world need to wake NOW.

CNN never cares about the critics in USA. it's time to against the USA GOV WHO threatens political freedoms for us black!

reddythewhale Hong Kong today, the world tomorrow. HK is at the frontline against totalitarian tyranny. And freedom-loving countries should StandWithHongKong and say no to CCP!

China grasps the chance of COVID-19 to invade the world. First, WHO , then HongKong afterwards buying the big concerns in Europe ...wake up and StandWithHongKong

1C2S ? bye, welcome to the 1C1S.

BREAKING: MINNEAPOLIS IS BURNING

CCPChinaJudgmentDay

China gonna finished the job its started before coronavirus made the headline last year. Y’all remember that?

One Country Two Systems becomes a historical term. No more autonomy in Hong Kong.

According to the west using petrol bombs bows and arrows ied bombs catapults metal pipes etc are all part of democracy They will encourage Hong Kong and support them. But if that happens in their own country police can shoot because it's terrorism Thats the western hypocrisy

To those who think the NationalSecurityLaw is no big deal, look carefully and see how this law transforms HongKong to a ordinary Chinese city that faces the serious suppression of the CCP. The international community needs to respond to this!

America is an evil empire

Supporting the disintegration of the United States is an evil empire

Talk HK instead of MINNEAPOLIS!!! Just the same old trick of the Democrats...

Good job. Cockroaches finally got what they deserve.

allowed by American law? Please tell me! A kind of

When can I have the freedom to occupy airports in the United States? When can the United States have the freedom to beat dissidents? When can the United States have the freedom to burn dissidents with fire? Can there be rallies and demonstrations in the United States? Is it

Next they will invade Taiwan, and then Japan and Vietnam, by using a second generation coronavirus.

Article23 will save HK

that is good for people who are Chinese

focus on yourself。不要多管闲事

What about Minneapolis?

This is awful that the chaos in the balance of world power provided an opportunity for tyrant countries like China (not the people, the elitists) to make their aggression, and it’s sad that there aren’t adequate aid to help protect their democracy.

I HEARD THEY BRANDING LITTLE CHINESE KIDS WHO KNOW THE 16 TIMES TABLE TERRORIST...… DAMN THATS THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY !!!!!

Hong Kong is a security loophole for China. We dont want our country be divided like the US

Xi says..'Like the rest of China you people are too stupid to choose your leader..soon the same rules as rest of China come to you'

Although the national security law has passed, we Hongkongers won't give up our fight for freedom. StandWithHongKong

diaryrektman a good day to SHORT SPX500

仅一票反对,六票弃权,几乎没有争议。当然,港版国安法打击的对象是强烈反对的。

But why 😡. Why can’t they leave hong-Kong alone. They don’t need to dominate another territory.

Citizens versus police, now I believe this is also a hot potato in the US now. I guess the protesters have done nothing wrong but also got teargassed. Such a slap in the face.

FUNNIEST OMEGLE CLIP EVER 2020 via YouTube

It has to do with US's arm sale to Taiwan. Beijing saw this as a possible of separation on Hong Kong if US keep increasing its present. Beijing would require military force to annex Taiwan if it must, but Hong Kong wouldn't and these security laws are for Beijing's protection.

First Hong Kong, eventually the world....

Destroyed political freedom, I think they crossed the threatening line.

How about this?

Aye - 2878 Nay - 1 Abstain - 6 Plus 1 didn't vote

The world needs to wake up. China is like Nazi/Japan before WW2. After Hong Kong, China will attack Taiwan, then control South China Sea, Australia and so on. China will not stop until they control the free world. The world should wake up before it’s too late. StandWithHongKong

YALL IGNORING MINNEAPOLIS!!

HK protests are CIA Backed protests. Same old plan of overthrowing the government under the guise of promoting democracy.

We need this National Security Law and we need it fast.

Political Freedom? no we are protecting senior citizen from being burnt alive when expressing a different opinion.

Great job! The farce should be over!

I think now Joe and DNC should re-evaluate their position on China, it's a bigger threat to the US and it's allies than any other country. only one man has the guts to stand up to China, Trump

Not surprising. China is cleaning up. Hong Kong free no more!! Hong Kong captured like dog in Wuhan!

I predict a huge struggle and massive protests. Let’s hope Hong Kong succeeds.

So how many national security laws does U.S. have? Why they won't harm the political freedom of U.S. people?

So, what’s the Donald Trump going to do about it? Tough talk on China but for nothing but tariffs that hurt the working class. Another foreign policy FAILURE for the best deal maker.

Trump is responsible for the death of 100,000 Americans.

Why are there still politicians and leaders in Western countries who believe in China ’s commitment

HK independence is the only way out for HongKong. It was the CCP government who denied the Sino-British Joint Declaration - HongKongers have every right to self-determination. StandWithHongKong
