, the managing director of the D.C.-based Hong Kong Democracy Council, an advocacy group, wrote on Twitter that he"woke up to media reports that I am a wanted fugitive.""If I am targeted, any American/any citizen of any nation who speaks out for Hong Kong can and will be too. We are all Hong Kongers now," he wrote.
Chu was among six prominent activists named by Chinese broadcaster CCTV and other state media outlets, to have arrest warrants issued for them under the legislation that came into effect . The individuals were wanted on suspicion of secession or collusion with foreign forces — crimes that the new security law punishes with up to life in prison., after he got news of his arrest warrant.
Law recently fled to Britain from Hong Kong after the security legislation was enacted by Beijing. He briefly met with Secretary of State"That Hong Kong has no place for even such moderate views like ours underscores the absurdity of Chinese Communist rule," Law said. Vowing, nonetheless, to continue his"advocacy work overseas" adding that he had already severed communications with his family in Hong Kong for their safety.
I dare CCPChina make overseas arrests!
5dsnot1less What have this 6 person done ? They have free speech in FB (not Twitter 😀😂) or talked to media or meet with foreign Gov. These have been defined by CCPChina as crime according to new NationalSecurityLaw . SOSHK antinationalsecuritylaw StandWithHongKong
Prohibit Hong Kong Police , the Gestapos of CCP , from entering US immediately!
This shud be challenge for Trump n Pompous... be like 2 pigs squealing in a sty...
China state police is claiming the right to restrict freedom of speech in the U.S.
'We are all hongkongers.' Please StandWithHongKong
If we accept this as normal, then one day no one will be able to speak up and against the authoritarian regime anymore
We still dk where Tony will be sent for trial. There’s no fair trial in the land of China especially for the political ones.
No one is safe, freedom of speech is stripping away by CCP, the next is personal safety.
even u r an us citizen, u still will be arrested by the hk gov HongKong lol
It is not only the end of 1Country2Systems. With NationalSecurityLaw, China can arrest whoever they want. Everything CCP dislikes could be “Subversion of State Power”. Now it is threatening Americans freedom of speech, would the free world join HKers to resist China?
Aliens are under targeted too
CCP will take any feasible means to suppress dissenting voice, no matter the way is unreasonable, cruel, or inhuman.
I think it is pretty reasonable if this guy try to support Hong Kong independence from China
So lobbying your own country about its foreign policy is a crime under CCP huh? Article 38 of HongKong’s so called nationalsecuritylaw puts all living creatures on the planet under Beijing’s jurisdiction. Ridiculous.
Anyone criticizing the chinesecommunistparty is seen as a criminal. It’s the kind of rule of law they are talking about in China. And yea... they say China is a civilized strong country...
shiroihamusan That’s why we said no one would be safe anymore as the NSL entrust the police with the right to arrest anyone they like StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong
NSL targets everyone. If you say anything against CCP, officials can say you have breached the law. As ridiculous as it seems, it is happening. StandWithHongKong
The US citizen is exercise his right of freedom of speech; while CCP China see this as threat.
What is a US citizen doing in Hong Kong at a protest? We are not afforded the same rights in foreign countries.
It seems that the whole world is under China's rule.
This just shows why the national security law should be considered a threat even to people outside Hong Kong and China. The CCP would use the evil law to arrest any dissent, who might only posted an anti-CCP comments online, that’s why extradition with HK need to be abolished
Agusparkco Wow! Big deal! A US citizen!
Now, people from any country cannot escape the provisions of the CCP Security Law, and China has become a global hegemon😆
Such arbitrary accuse can easily extended to members of Congress. That's the supremacy of China!
HongKong, a city of misery, where the majority have no place before the CCP bootlicking minority. Deprived of civil rights, facing white terror even amid COVID19, threatened by increasing hkpolicebrutality… HKers need the world's help.
CCP is not strong enough, but it already dare to issue arrest warrant on US citizen. Can you imagine what will happen if they are the strongest country in the future? CCP_is_terrorist
No one on Earth is safe, all are living under the fear imposed by CCP
hongkongpolice will try their best, to arrest whom CCP wants.
If CCP and HKPolice are going to send secretive forces abroad to kidnap them to HongKong ? Terrible If they do,they could do it on you someday if you oppose or criticize CCP StandWithHongKong NOW
CCPChina is officially exerting its tyranny over an US citizens. I guess it is a matter of time before the HKPolice starts issuing warrant of arrest for the entire Congress. HongKongSecurityLaw
Ridiculous but it’s happening. The potent CCP will paint you into a criminal if you’ve spoken sth unfavourable to them. You don’t have to be a HKer or Chinese. Your location doesn’t matter either. Indeed, CCP is threatening the entire global community. CCP_is_terrorist
HK police can pretend tourists to travel in foreign countries to collect evidences. Foreign people in their own countries also have to adhere to the national security law in Hong Kong.
This is bad !
Freedom or Tyranny?! NationalSecueityLaw of CCP not only killing HK. CCP insults the whole world w/ its arrogance by putting everyone in everywhere in guilty by only judging them. It declares war to the world. Global sanction to them must act now!
So, the law applied to everyone around the world. I wonder how many visitors will stop traveling to Hong Kong because of they are supporting democracy. StandWithHongKong
How could this happen? It's so insane!
Under the national security law, everyone whom may not be a chinese Citizen can be accused. The world belongs to ccp, as they believed. Standwithhongkong and stay aware, or you will be the next to offend China cautiously or uncautiously.
Just in case he says he didn’t know (or because he just didn’t want to read that day) realDonaldTrump do something
china can suck it.
“Pro-democracy” 😂
F the CCP
Wow you are two days old with the news!!!

NBCNews War is on the horizon. Be prepared.
cyn106932017 And the US citizen is ON US soil ! Meaning any US person is a target !
CCP can do that if CCP finally control the world. So every countries need to take actions to stop the expanding of CCP immediately.
Lets start issuing icc warrants on ccp members
Beware of Hongkong police in western, many people believe that they are CCP spies under the name of hk police., sent to western countries to make troubles.
Why there is no detail to these six people convicted.
alextong23 Official tool used by CCP to whoever unwanted by it into jail. The draconian law is not justified ! It is just a tool used by the tyranny to enhance its slavery !
Americans, this new national security law can put you under arrest, if you say something not nice to ccp. Would you choose kowtow?
This article, and of course the entire NationalSecurityLaw, is just nonsense. It just shows China’s ambition in suppressing the whole world’s freedom.
freeChina
CCP believes it can control the world by implementing HKNationalSecurityLaw!?
The CCP thinks they rule the world.
The actions of HKG is completely nonsense.
First it's XinJiang, then it's Hong Kong, and now they think they have that power to get involve in other countries and even arrest their citizens
I wonder if DrewPavlou will be the next target. What I mean is, CCP is really threatening everyone’s freedom of speech which preciousness is only understood when ppl lose it.
This is ridiculous!
The new National security law is not for national security but taking full control of HK . Xi's ambition is dominating the whole world . Free world must make swift response to this evil law . Magnitsky sanctions must be imposed on CCP for the continuous crackdown in Hong Kong.
Will CCP arrest Trump?
NationalSecueityLaw state that it can arrest people around the world. What’s a joke.
An Americans’s freedom of speech is being stepped in by Hong Kong Gov?! How arrogant this regime is! Not only was 1Country2Systems ended but the National Security law will also affect people outside the city. Effective or not, Xi clearly thinks China is the top of the world.
hongkong must freed from china StandWithHongKong UNSC FreeHK
HongKong is fighting from front against china to keep the world safe StandWithHongKong
china action in hong kong is illegitima StandWithHongKong
We could all be the next target of the CCP.
CCP thinks she rules the world
DemocraticHK All US Senators and Representatives are now worrying they will become international fugitives under Chinese arrest warrants for passing HongKongHumanRightsAndDemocracyAct and HongKongAutonomyAct? Don't RT HKIndependence
The draconian law is obviously extraterritorial and risks everyone in the world as long as you are defiant to the dictatorship. A Hongkonger yesterday, An American today and everyone tomorrow. StandWithHongKong SOSHK
The earth is control by CCP now?
The world should be alerted that anyone regardless of their nationality, is subjected to be arrested under the NationalSecurityLaw if you do not side with China. We must stop China from messing with the world order.
The NationalSecurityLaw applies to all global citizens too. I don’t see any threat to CCP China.
Now CCP can use the draconian national security law to charge citizen of US or other countries if they voice for Hong Kong. If CCP is not stopped by the international community, everyone is in danger.
I'm afraid this is what you called 'foreign interference' , China? ChinaVsWorld
ching8964 They dare to issue warrants to the next US president🤣. That’s the thing a drunk man does.
It seems CCP China can do anythings they want in Hong Kong after they formally violate the Sino Britain Joint Declaration! Can CCP China be accepted against the international contract?
This proves the national security law is an actual threat even to people outside Hong Kong and China, extradition with Hong Kong needs to be abolished in order to protect citizens. HK is now controlled by CCP, it is not a safe place anymore, the judicial system is broken
A perfect example proves that under the HongKong National Security Law, no one in the world is safe.
We r waiting to see if China is gonna arrest the other world leaders with NationalSecurityLaw
In Hong Kong today, there are countless ridiculous things every day. This time it is another extremely ridiculous thing, but it also confirms that CCPChina is really declaring war on the democratic world, and the so-called HK police (HKPoliceTerrorists) are their accomplices!
The new National Security Law applies to all people, including non-Hongkongers outside HK. If you have ever publicly supported HK and Taiwan, Uyghur and Tibet, you have already broken the law, while you might face at least 3 years of jail sentence once you step on the land of HK.
The national security law is giving China and its national security operatives power to infringe upon human rights and freedom in every part of the world.
watch for freedom
The national security law doesn’t target a small minority of us. It targets all of us. Anyone that speaks against the CCP. We are all HKers now. StandWithHongKong Democracy
CCP ‘s logic is really hilarious. A US citizen lobbying in his own country is none of China’s business. Probably CCP fantasises that the whole world belongs to them.
solid proof of how crazy this law is
GO to UK if you are not already and stay there. Getting arrested HK will do democracy there no good. Stay strong wherever you are.
So pretty much the same as here at home?
So a US citizen has to obey the national security law.
Too bad we don’t currently have a presidential candidate from a main party that supports democracy. Guess we need to vote independent this election, so we don’t end up in the same boat. NeverBidenNeverTrump
Seems this law is threatening all of us
Facts have proved that HongKong ’s national security law is threatening the safety of people all over the world. The HKPolice have stated that they will enforce the law outside HK. HKPoliceBrutality is likely to spread to the world. This will be a very terrifying thing.
Keep breaking that stupid law they can't lockup everybody.
Let's not forget how the oppressive Chinese government began. The revolution in China began under the slogans of workers rights, wages and class. 70 years later, they have political labor camps, no free press and lock up those who dissent. Socialism always ends in subjugation.
The tit for tat.... Trump is terrible at this....
It means that international community who advocate sanction against HKSAR government will be issued arrest warrants. Just non-sense.
Aparte de que los conspiradores estén presos con justificada razón, bueno sería que los pusieran a hacer trabajo comunitario, para que aprendan a ser personas civilizadas.
Well, see the long arm from the policestate? StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom
And people here want communism....what is wrong with society 🇺🇸
In Hong Kong we have people fighting to keep their rights, in America we have people fighting to lose their rights. This generation of Americans will go down as the most destructive generation in recent history.
It's almost like Americans are expected to obey the laws of the countries they visit.
They’ve been planning this takeover of Hong Mong for years.
goodjob
