In a joint statement organized by former Hong Kong Governor Christopher Patten and former British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind, 186 law and policy leaders said the proposed laws are a “comprehensive assault on the city’s autonomy, rule of law and fundamental freedoms” and a “flagrant breach” of the Sino-British Joint Declaration that returned Hong Kong to China in 1997.
The legislation comes as the relationship between Washington and Beijing frays, with U.S. President Donald Trump blaming China for the coronavirus pandemic.
Let China does manage her country.Why China?Cambodia has Hunsen as the Priminister for 30 years.Why don't you stick your nose into such a country where people are oppressed by Hunsen?Why China ?

Yes! Evil CCP never keep their promises and change the rules whenever they like! They are shameless rogues and are completely untrustworthy!
Candy10215 If CCP can’t live up to the legally binding declaration witnessed by the UN and the world, how can anyone expect them to honor any deals or agreements? All the faith and interests in that one man, the Xi tyrant
That's why we need to StandWithHongKong
All the white people are upset that China is no longer their servants..... This is about Chinese people and they should decide what they want to do with their own country... Stop dreaming that they will return to this times Back when it was British
the question is what to do about it?
SOSHK we r fighting for our freedom HKPoliceState StandWithHongKong
Can imagine if someone in the world could still believe CCP will be a trustworthy party.
Violating the Sino-British Joint Declaration means mocking and slapping UN and the world hard the face!! FightForFreedomStandWithHK HongKongNeedsHelp
The CCPSecurityLaw violates the Sino-British Joint Declaration clearly. We cannot trust CCP anymore.
Dont trust them easily. HONGKONGers only demonstrate once.
Please the world awake and pay attention on that China is untrustworthy. CCP violated Sino-British Joint Declaration today, they will violate others international agreements in the future. BoycottChina AntiChinazi
No rule of law
Because China treat their promise like shit.
The nationalsecuritylaw is clearly violating the agreement. If the world turned an blind eye and allowed them to violate this time, they may violate more in the future. Just hope to remind everyone: BE AWARE or BE NEXT.
Please do not stay silent the whole world !! Take real action to sanction and oppose CCP!
Please don't trust China anymore because they breach every agreements.
The ChineseVirus is just the beginning of CCP_is_terrorist to destroy the world. Its brutal behaviours will ruined the whole world one day. SOSHK ChinaMustPay
The basic law , Hong Kong’s constitutional document , came into effect guaranteeing Hong Kong’s way of life for 50 years after 1997. StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom HongKong
FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong
How can you trust a government that lost trust in its own city... the world have to know China is trust worthless!
Lord Patten pointed out the truth. The national security laws will put an end to “One Country Two Systems” that differentiates HK from the rest of China
HKers are standing up against the evil law today. Please stand with us.
It's just another blunt move showing how ruthless ccp is. Universal values are nth to them.
ccp is a genius. One instruction killed HK by violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration, One Country Two Systems and promised of no change in Hong Kong for 50 years and finished our target 'If we burn, You burn with us.' Can you still trust it and work with it? SOSHK
It's give a message to world. Any agreement with CCP is dangerous.
It’s not a issue of Hong Kong anymore but it is a worldwide issue about freedom & Totalitarian.I understand that many people prefer not saying anything and keep earning Chinese’ money. But CCP will destroy yr home one day if their power is getting bigger.
The new law implemented will definitely harm the sound legal system that Hong Kong has been enjoying. A big crash to foreign investors and firm😱
Deng Xiaoping put forward the policy in 1984, 'for one country, two systems, a high degree of autonomy, Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong, and the existing capitalist lifestyle unchanged for 50 years.' China now violates the above policy StandWithHongKong HongKongNeedsHelp
CCPChina establish NationalSecueityLaw shows them treat OneCountryTwoSystems and Sino-British Joint Statement like trash, totally destroyed all aspects of freedom of HK. However, let HK independence is the only way to get real freedom and autonomy. We shall never surrender.
China's ambition is so OBVIOUS that the communist party does not even care to hide it. Hong Kong is at the very frontline in the battle for democracy against dictatorship. What is the world doing with this new Berlin in 2020?
First Xinjiang, now Hong Kong, and the world is going to be next. We stop the spread of cancer before its too late, appeasing the evilest corporation aka ccp has never been an option.
Seriously if this is how China treat a valid Sino-British Joint Declaration, this is the world’s responsibility to revolt
China is trying to tell the world that Hong Kong is still free, for doing businesses ONLY, and no more.
Annex 3 is part of the agreement and there is no clause forbidding adding a new law into it. Why is it a breach?
Please save HK
China's controversial security law = End game of Hong Kong! We don't want 1 country 1 system! Foreign investment will no longer be safe too! Please help safe Hong Kong!
CCPChina thinks the world is blind, but we're not! They can't ignore Declaration.
美国处处违反人权和自由。
We love Hong Kong, we cherish freedom, we don’t want to live in an authoritarian state. The new law marks the end of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’, international community should voice out against that.
We all know that except CCP, a rogue regime, who said the agreement was a historic document only. Should the world tolerate that rogue regime anymore as they can always breach the agreement anytime?
Please stand with HongKongers to fight against the communist tyranny! HKers have been deceived by China since the handover, seeing our rights being taken away bit by bit. If CCP treat laws and human rights like nothing, China will continue to be a threat to the world.
Time to decouple
HongKong hongKongindependence StandwithHK
Rmb when China needs you, you are a friendly western company. If China doesn't want you anymore, you are a western SPY subverting China So if you see any whitewash from CCP about national security law, DON'T FALL FOR IT! We HKers never want it, we want democracy HongKong SOS
It's time that world see the CCP for what it is and respond
That's not only HK will be threatened. The world may also be influenced in different aspects due to CCPSecurityLaw like freedom, humanity and economic development. Please prevent CCP from implementing this evil-like law.
China can breach an agreement related to Hong Kong flagrantly, China can also breach an agreement with the rest of the world flagrantly
What’s China good at? Lying 🤥
BoycottChina at least you can do that for Hongkongers?
China is shameless. China created the WuhanVirus , making the world suffer but China still shift their responsibility to other country. Moreover, China is now depriving the freedom of HK. China violate the promise. We need the national help asap. CCP_is_terrorist
Planting law to hongkong without consulting hk ppl and bypass local legislation !!!! OneCountryTwoSystemsIsDead
This law is gonna kill all the voices in Hong Kong. We are losing our freedom. standwithhongkong
Well, these speakers should change their nationality to China to facilitate the management of Hong Kong.
Now CCP is destroy HK one country two system HK need the world help to protect one country two system.AntiChinazi Chinazi
They don't care. What scares the hell out of those 'little men' is lack of influence. In fact these 'little men' are 'control freaks'!
Hong Kong needs the help from around the globe desperately. The Chinasecuritylaw violates the Sino-british joint declaration as it would be directly announced by the government instead of undergoing the legislative procedure in Hong Kong legco,which threatens the autonomy of HK.
The most problematic is that the law means unprecedented oppression. China can arbitrarily arrest, detain, torture in HK while ignoring the court. State police can require all firms to 'cooperate' or they will be caught. Education is controlled. HKers are becoming Uyghurs .
If the World allows China not to honor its commitments in Sino British Joint Declaration w/o consequences, China will disregard all international regulations n treaties. StandWithHongKong
SOSHK LiberateHK StandwithHK OneCountryTwoSystemsIsDead
But not Israels? Its okay when they breach everything.

To the world, since the outbreak of WuhanVirus , the selfishness of CCP has made the world suffered. Now, the impose of national security to Hong Kong will undermine the promised 'one country and two systems'. We need your help!
China violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration.They always violate international agreements and promises. Hope the World Recognize The Evil Of The CCP Through HongKong StandWithHongKong
I don’t know what to do. At least we could say no to made in China.
Please stand with HongKongers to fight against the communist tyranny! People in HK have been deceived by China since the hangover, seeing our rights being taken away bit by bit. If CCP treat laws and human rights like nothing, China will continue to be a threat to the world.
In fact why has it taken so long for hkg to implement this security law! 23yrs! Even Macau has one already! So why make it so special for hkg. It is just a matter of time. When BJ sets to implement something, nobody can stop it.
If Hong Kong is in trouble, the world economy will deteriorate.

Riots ruined our life nearly one year. Enough, it’s time to return normal. This guy has no right speak for Hong Kong, he speaks for benefits.

Deng Xiaoping is already dead! Deng Xiaoping is a liar! There is no agreement at all! Hong Kong is China's territory. The Chinese government can do anything! Trump government, Bannon and Guo Wengui have been agitating revolution and violence in Hong Kong!
Lol well the only people who have a right to complain are those living in HK. The others seem like they have something to lose so u have to question their motives.

What will the rest of the world do about it?
What are you gonna do about it? China holds all the cards now old, white men are dependent on all manufacture happening there on sweatshop labour. Western culture really did give them the world in exchange for a cheap giant TV in every room of the house!
Pathetic former colonizer......
Meanwhile the world is still working out how to manage Covid-19. However, even without the virus, doubt any major power would do anything other than say something “nasty” on Twitter about it.
Fuck England
Let this be a lesson to the world that China can’t keep their word on treaties either. It has never been so evident that the world, and its businesses, can’t trust a genocidal regime that lies, steals, Threatens, coerces,bullies, infiltrates,…
By agreement u mean the delclaraion in which UK is to return the colony HK to its country of origin CN in 97? After the return, what does anything have to do with the British?
Foreign officials being key
They keep saying they're doing this to bring laws into Hong Kong. But Hong Kong has laws - Hong Kong laws. And its residents are happy with them. Why break something that doesn't need fixing - that's the argument being made by protests. They know China laws & clearly they hate it
foreign officials? Are they supposed to serve Chinese people after they got elected?
Big question is, WTF are any of you going to do about it?

I read that as fragrant bleach. I'm gonna go lie down now.
