With his plan to impose antisedition laws on Hong Kong, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has revealed a willingness to alter the city’s special status

HONG KONG—With his plan to impose sweeping antisedition legislation on Hong Kong, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has revealed a willingness to alter the onetime British colony’s special status as a self-governing city with a speed and scope that has surprised many, from pro-democracy activists to diplomats to businesspeople.

At a meeting of mainland China’s National People’s Congress last week, authorities said they would go around Hong Kong’s own legislature and draft measures against secession, foreign influence and terrorism...

Xi Jinping would rather sacrifice both China and Hong Kong's economy to retain his power. He is very selfish.

CCPChina rushed to throttle HongKong amid CommunistChineseVirus epidemic Breach of 1country2systems under BasicLaw, China proved itself as a world class liar, habitually infringed its constitution when involving HK, TIBET & Uyghurs SanctionChina HongKongNeedsHelp

Is that mean HongKong ‘s autonomy is dead...? How about 50years no change as promised?

China is arrogant and stupid. Hong Kong can bring so much wealth to china but still they destroy Hong Kong because they want to be the king. They do not allow opposite voices. And they are the ones who broke the promise of one country two system in June.

kerokero_HKer As HK has no autonomy anymore. Washington should no longer give it a special status, otherwise it will only be used by CCPChina to hide taxes or steal high technology which all threaten American interests. HongKong ChinaMustPay

Chinese Government oppress people that criticize them, while claiming that they have freedom of speech.

FreeHK

HongKongProtests hongkongpolicebrutality Hongkongers

Once the law has passed, the world will have trouble doing business with China via HK! HK is gonna fucked up! StandwithHK

When CCP China ruins HongKong by different white horror and propaganda activities, they shouldnt expect to gain anything from HK’s special economy status. If we burn, they must burn with us.

If National security law in HongKong is legislated by CCP forcefully, it will not only jeopardize international business, but it also strengthens China totalitarianism. It definitely affects the whole free world. Please StandWithHongKong to against CCP.

#China is going to ruin #HongKong autonomy HKgers never surrender

lauraandarual CCP has completely destroyed its promise of the 1 country 2 systems in HK. This tyranny under the dictatorship of Emperor Xi is walking against the core values of the world. We HKGERS treasure democracy and freedom StandWithHongKong

Xi is attempting to spread ccp’s ideology thorough the world . Will free world accept ?

What are the options for Hong Kongers? They may be fighting bravely but they are obviously not comparable to trained and armed police force and Chinese army. The world must not watch the city die. SOSHK StandWithHongKong

CCPChina doesn’t even bother to pretend to keep its agreement with UK. However, its secret control is not only in Hong Kong, but the world. Stop China, now or never.

CCP_is_terrorist has come to a stage to do whatever they want. The world must StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom before too late!

Don’t trust CCP We have no choice, protect our homeland is the only way! StandWithHongKong

CCP rather kill off HK & lock up all the civilians than risking any dissenter showing defiance against their tyranny.

Those who support freedom and democracy in world, please keep up with the news in Hong Kong and StandWithHongKong

China is ruining HK's autonomy and freedom. HKers won't step back and surrender. We need the world to StandWithHongKong to fight against the tyranny.

If HongKong is ruling by China, all the special status should be revoke. China's controlling means no freedom and rule of law. 1country2systems will break as well.

Nope. Xi wants both: complete control of HongKong n taking advantage of HongKong's special status. The world must wake up n end all privilleges to HongKong HongKongNeedsHelp HongKongProtests StandWithHongKong

China is going to violate the treaty and end the “One country, TWO systems” in Hong King, which means HongKong is going to lose her democracy and autonomy

All HKers want is the right and freedom of criticism. When government do something stupid such as covering up the truth and seriousness of coronavirus, citizens can say it without fear. Otherwise, the issue of Li Wenliang would happen in Hongkong

HongKongers will keep fighting for our liberty and rights. The western world should be aware that it is a power play of CCP to spread its despotism to the world. It must be stopped or it will escalate and threaten the core value of the western world eventually

He don’t care the responses from the world because he truly believes the world will not do anything that might harm both interests.

TomT88696910 Thanks for speaking up for us. HK is now the battlefield between dictatorship and democracy. If the western countries appease once again, CCP would be empowered and strong enough to influence the whole world. Concrete action and sanction is needed, appeasement should be stopped.

God bless for every Hong Kong hero and brave protester😊❤️

hongkong is not china this is the fact that you can never change.

CCPChina’s morbid obsession of control and power. But history tells us tyranny will be overturned eventually. Good luck Xi and CCP.

Once CCPchina take over HK, 'high-level autonomy' and freedom which make us different with other simple China province will totally disappear, it definitely will lose credibility to encourage oversea companies doing business here. StandWithHongKong to fight Totalitarianism.

China is going to ruin Hong Kong, a world-renowoned financial centre

Why CCPChina national security laws the same as the monster? 4 June 89, TiananmenMassacre, they said nobody dead but pictures tell the truth CCPChina kidnap so many lawyers & make them disappear, because they ask for the truth. Are you believe you can survival under this?

The law may pass tmr while till ytd Carrie Lam still got no details on the blurry definitions of the law. No independent organisation is set to monitor the law enforcement to make sure the law will not be exploited with the grey area. CCP r trying to bring Chinese law to HK.

This is the age of CCP. NationalSecurityLaw CCP_is_terrorist

FuckCommunism zlj517

China will crush pro-democracy protesters & US & UN will left only jaw opened. U need cheap factory production at the cost of humanitarian laws in China. What u did when China crushed protesters some 30 yrs back. China will put money in ur lawmakers mouth & get away crushing

Is noted China expert KingJames aware of this? Does he care?

VivaTaiwan 🇹🇼

Democrats are doing the same thing in America, try to make new laws and more taxes to tighten their grip on freedom.

I feel horribly for these people. How os the world allowing this ?

These thugs are demonstrators supported by human rights defenders.

If you think this is just a case, then let us continue

Don't be fooled by the carefully selected photos of the media. These demonstrators are not victims, they are terrorists.

They persecuted women

Nazi youth will not have any guilt when killing people. They are full of mission, responsibility and pride. They think they are fighting against demons, they think they are saving this country, they think they are saving this group of people.

Peacefull protesters

Without national security law, riots and disruption to businesses happened last year would happen again and again. No one but dark minded politicians want to see that.

When law ends, Tyranny Begins. The tyranny is governed by deceiving and slaughtering the people The world should be cautious about cooperation with China StandWithHongKong

Xi is the worst dictator since Stalin.

Remeber the song Let It Go?

The patriot act is worse than the new law in HK

a positive report about China or Chinese appear in that will be news.

laughingmantwit At some point someone will explain Macau

The time to break CCP hegemony is now.

哈哈。okay boomer

Chinese government is going to ruin HK, like it ruined Tibet, like it will ruin Taiwan if it ever gains control of it.

Billions lost but 'their' buck stops there.

They are trying to convince the world that they are still very powerful
