HONG KONG, China - China's planned national security law for Hong Kong could allow for extraditions to the mainland, the city's sole representative to Beijing's top lawmaking body said Wednesday.
Beijing says the new national security law is needed to end the political unrest and restore stability. In an interview with RTHK radio on Wednesday, Tam said he believed some prosecutions alleging foreign interference, or cases involving diplomatic issues, could be handled by China's central government.
Under a "One Country, Two Systems" agreement ahead of the handover by Britain, China agreed to let Hong Kong maintain certain liberties and autonomy until 2047 -- including legislative and judicial independence. On Wednesday a group of 86 NGOs and rights groups -- including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Freedom House -- published a joint letter to the Standing Committee calling on it to scrap the proposed law.
It seems with the US CIA, keeping the riots going after getting what they wanted, has reversed the situation they had won in blocking the extradition and getting China to agree. The US wants Hong Kong to fail. Hong Kong was leased to Britain and that lease was set to end in 1997
