U.S., allies deplore China's new Hong Kong security law

BRUSSELS/TOKYO - China’s passage of a national security law for Hong Kong drew international condemnation on Tuesday, with the United States and its Asian and Western allies criticising a move that heralds a more authoritarian era for the former British colony.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for sanctions and other steps against China, saying the “brutal” law would “frighten, intimidate and suppress” those peacefully seeking freedom. “We wish to raise our deep concerns at the imposition of national security legislation on Hong Kong which undermines ‘One Country, Two Systems’, and has clear implications for human rights,” Julian Braithwaite, Britain’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told the U.N. Human Rights Council.

“This law risks seriously undermining the high degree of autonomy of Hong Kong and having a detrimental effect on the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law.” Last year’s protests drew wide sympathy in democratic and Chinese-claimed Taiwan, which has welcomed people from Hong Kong who have moved to the island and expects more.

HongKong is the new Berlin by China, will we persist to break down Berlin Wall even it takes years of effort? Or r we gonna give up & say hi to ¥? I think it’s better to continue StandWithHongKong & hold China accountable - or we r emboldening CCP to go beyond HK

deplore all you want ... nothing except full global sanctions will stop china from reaching its agenda ... and the world is t prepared to do that so STFU - end story

China's topheavy. It'll collapse under it own greed need for resources to sustain itself.

China holds the high hand, they are not going to back down. Hong Kong is being run and controled by PCC. They have the military backings on serveral fronts. The EU can only make noice..

So? Sanction or RMB?

Ohhhj so brave! They “deplore”! Fricken’ wussies.

Dear little western anti-China propaganda. Unconditionally calling the HK terrorist anarchist rioter thug thief arsonist vandals 'peaceful protesters', and the restrained professional HK police 'brutal'. The anarchists have already caused a recession for 6+ months too.

While, what can EU do, excpet for press release.

The train has left the station and it's too late. Just treat Hong Kong like any other Chinese city and be done with it.

Have fun EU when the chinese come around to absorb you.
