The law makes secessionist, subversive, or terrorist activities illegal, as well as foreign intervention in the city's internal affairs. “This decision was necessary and timely to maintain Hong Kong’s stability,” Carrie Lam said following a flag-raising ceremony and the playing of China's national anthem.
Hong Kong's police force had issued a statement saying they would consider as illegal any flag or banner raised by protesters deemed to be promoting Hong Kong's separation from China or expressing support for independence for Tibet, Xinjiang and the self-governing island democracy of Taiwan that China claims as its own.
Good
A law to make secessionist, subversive, or terrorist activities illegal. I wonder any country in the world allow that to be legally protected. Well done ABC this time for not saying it as it is, unlike B(iased)BC across the pond. HongKong Hongkongprotest HongKongSecurityLaw
Shame on MSM and Dems for supporting the CCP in any form or fashion!
China is a police state.

I just told Alibaba, the Chinese product sourcing website, to please take me off their email list. It's time to avoid where ever possible buying Chinese products! Probably impossible but you have to start somewhere!
Only a matter a of time before trump makes this same law for us
More bad ideas for tRump.
Who will ask China Joe Biden about this?
Don’t think this is EXACTLY what that Mango Mafman wants too!
They want freedom they better pray Trump wins, he's the only American president willing to fight China, Biden in office? Wait to see him kowtow to china's demands
HK has been stable for decades, especially after returning to China, the economic growth rate is unmatched in Asia, but since June 2019, under the instigation of the FBI, HK has experienced a whole year of chaos and riots, Finally, HK will return to prosperity and stability
Hong Kong was once a country that had great freedom and now China just wants to own that country. Sadly I wanted to visit Hong Kong because I loved the movies that came out of it but now I'm just sad.
Stay strong Hong Kong
Oh gosh poor man I hope they don’t give him life imprisonment. Stay strong HK
China is Assho!
China will probably use this law to crack down and arrest LGBTQ + and trans people too in Hong Kong . as I think they are anti-LGBTQ, correct?
Joe Biden is guming his chops.
How is carrying a flag calling for Hong Kong's independence considered terrorist ? This is ridiculous. They are basically making it impossible to dissent.
Remember, Hong Kong is not China. It’s just heavily influenced and controlled by China
Nixon should be dug up, slapped, and re-buried.
It's time to allow those who want to leave HK to do so in a peaceful and orderly fashion, perhaps the UK could offer residents visas? Also HK is now indistinct from the rest of China and no special treatment should be afforded.
