World leaders react to China's controversial national security bill in Hong Kong

China's new security law for Hong Kong is said to effectively bypass Hong Kong's legislature, raising concerns over whether it is a breach of the Chinese city's autonomy.

Hong Kong, a former British colony that returned to Chinese rule in 1997, is a special administrative region of China. Under the "one country, two systems" framework, the city is given some freedoms that citizens in the mainland do not have. That includes self-governing power, limited election rights, and a largely separate legal and economic framework from mainland China.

"Hong Kong has flourished as a bastion of freedom. The international community has a significant and long-standing stake in Hong Kong's prosperity and stability," it said. The joint statement pointed out that the law "will exacerbate the existing deep divisions in Hong Kong society" and "does nothing to build mutual understanding and foster reconciliation within Hong Kong."

If they really want to hit them hard,start threatening to boycott the 2022 Olympics. China wants to look like a World participant,and a boycott would put egg on the regime's faces,plus they would lose billions in revenue

Nothing new in history。 In 1840, under the banner of free trade, western countries opened China's door with cannon. Today, USA are also using cannons and airs around the world under the banner of freedom and democracy. Syria, for example.

Will the world lead react to dying black people in America?

You might want to double-check a couple of things here. Chinese media has reported that HK officials have welcomed the new laws. Granted, other media has reported that 2 or 3 HK officials have been recently replaced so the vote might have been stacked.

Therefore, world leaders can disregard the safety of Hong Kong people and help the americans to plunder Hong Kong

Unethical Chinese have not realized yet, they are asking world to fight with them or suffer and collapse.

Riot is riot, no difference between HK & MN. Both side of rioters are not peaceful protesters. If you want to free up those rioters killers in HK, then should let the rioters set more police stations on fire in MN... Same standard, OK?

Hypocrites who has multiple definitions for sovereignty and justice
