The Five Eyes intelligence sharing group said on Wednesday China's imposition of new rules to disqualify elected legislators in Hong Kong appeared to be part of a campaign to silence critics and called on Beijing to reverse course.

“We urge the Chinese central authorities to re-consider their actions against Hong Kong’s elected legislature and immediately reinstate the Legislative Council members,” foreign ministers from Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States said in a joint statement. It also raised further alarm in the West about the level of Hong Kong’s autonomy, promised under a “one country, two systems” formula when Britain ended its colonial rule and handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997.

Britain now considers China has broken the Joint Declaration three times, including with national security legislation for Hong Kong introduced this year.

Thank you FiveEyes for StandUp4HumanRights and StandwithHongKong

Stop buying Chinese products, period. See how long it takes 100 million unemployed workers to end their Communist party line.

Concrete action is needed, it’s for the sake of the whole world.

Looks like ruining hk and taking down China is far more important than defeating COVID and caring the lives of their own people. Sad.

The European Parliament has also spoken up. It's obvious that China doesn't allow any room for pro-democratic voices in Hong Kong.

Five Eyes should be listed as a group aiding terrorism around the world !

Hong Kong is a territory of Five Eyes alliance, China should stop meddling Hong Kong issue.

AzaadHongKong..

Next: China harvests organs of Hong Kong legislators

The Five Eyes (FVEY) is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia Canada NewZealand UK & US. The FVEY was monitoring the communications of the former Soviet Union & socialist countries, although it's now used to monitor private communications worldwide.

'Urge' is an act of persuasion. 'Demand' is an insistent request implying subsequent sanctions. Since the body does not mention demands, why is used in the heading? There is a big difference. Anyway, China's internal affairs are none of 5 eyes business, best to keep out.

Five a$$

Crackdown? So these legislators can get away with the crimes they have committed and they are above the law?

Good luck, have fun 😂

Maybe now the people of Hong Kong can enjoy the freedoms that elbows hide within.

Yeah good luck with that.
