Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam listens to reporters' questions during a press conference in Hong Kong, Tuesday, June 30, 2020. Hong Kong media are reporting that China has approved a contentious law that would allow authorities to crack down on subversive and secessionist activity in Hong Kong, sparking fears that it would be used to curb opposition voices in the semi-autonomous territory.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam declined to comment on the law at a weekly meeting with reporters, saying it was inappropriate for her to do so while the Standing Committee was still meeting. The law has met with strong opposition within Hong Kong and condemnation from former colonial ruler Britain, the U.S., the European Union and others.
The administration has warned for weeks that if the law was passed, it would take action to end special U.S. trade and commercial preferences Hong Kong had enjoyed since reverting to Chinese rule in 1997. Britain says it could offer residency and possible citizenship to around 3 million of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million people.

It's totally up to them. If they think you are in guilty, you are in guilty. This is so-called RuleOfLaw in ridiculous CCPChina style.
HK has been free since 1997. But HK failed to fulfil its constitutional obligation demanded by Art23. Each time govt tried to implement such laws in 2003, 2014, 2019, protests and large scale riots in the streets prevented it. This national security law is long overdue.
TracyCH4 In term of communist, take away the people who indicated the problem is the way they solve the problem. In term of communist, the NSL do work, as it authorised to arrest people who tried to indicate problems.
其实年轻人就是搞了一场社会主义运动，穷人对抗富人和有权势的人。对香港的好处是政府强大了，有钱的地产商们不能控制香港了，10平米的小房子有机会变大了。现在反倒是给了穷人一个翻身的机会，这是改变贫富差距的好时机。
Does the United States allow division?

This is a sole act to protect CCP’s political stability in the name of “national security” HKPoliceState
That means if u didnt praise the CCP, u just committed a crime of treason. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The free world once stop the Nazi, may it stop the brutal CCP, which arrogantly violates human rights n int'l laws, AGAIN?
Thank you for the coverage And thank you to all who StandWithHongKong If you find this disgusting, you can always show support by BoycottChina and keeping an eye on HK news!
When Uyghurs used Twitter or whatsapp , that’s mean they violate the law and imprison in re-education camp, it’s how the law impose on their own citizens SanctionChina CCP_is_terrorist
The CCPChina passed secretly NationalSecurityLaw WITHOUT consulting any elected representatives of Hongkong. She kept everyone in the dark, but her lackeys in HK support the law unreservedly. This is CN style RuleOfLaw! MakeChinaPay BoycottChineseProducts
Meanwhile, the law will be enacted when the public still doesn’t know the exact articles under it. China is basically doing anything they want to HongKong now.
Can we trade our protesters for Hong Kong’s protesters? The protesters in Hong Kong wanted freedom, ours want communism. It’d be a perfect trade..
WWIII will certainly be with that despicable Nazi dictatorship
The USA, and the USA alone, gave China the economic power and domination over natural resources to do whatever they please. Why is anyone surprised by this?

The NationalSecurityLaw under the rule of CCP.
Under the dictatorship of the CCP , HongKong is no longer an international financial hub with freedom but just a China's city filled with gov corruption and HumanRightsViolations . China deserves sanctions for breaking the Sino British Joint Decl. HKPoliceState Chinazi
Bad move.
Authoritarian govts using world crisis to break human rights laws. China is obvious, but other dictators will be doing this. Weak US leadership is one direct reason for this.
China sucks
There is a problem with your story about trump knowing in 2019 that russians paid.. you say that Bolton was aware. HE SPECIFICALLY STATED HE HAD NO, ZEROOOOOOOOO KNOWLEDGE OF THAT STORY. BOLTON DOESNT LIE, WTF.. ick.. i think you went too far without sources
Good China should crack down hard as well as arrest all the oligarchs in HK funding the upheaval.
Fuck China
This is really bad and we're up to our neck in domestic crisis with potentially compromised or traitorous leadership. 👍
There is very little difference between the Chinese government and the Democratic Party DNC
