China's legislators table Hong Kong security law

China's top law-making body has tabled a draft of a national security law which critics fear will undermine the freedoms and autonomy promised to Hong Kong under the 'One Country, Two Systems' framework.

The law is expected to pass in time for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment on July 1. The holiday marking Hong Kong's handover to China in 1997 has resulted in pro-democracy protests every year since the government's last attempt to introduce a national security law in 2003.Provisions in the draft allow for Chinese state security agencies to officially operate in Hong Kong.

Senior Hong Kong officials including Chief Executive Carrie Lam have had little input in drafting the law, and have been unable to clarify its contents. Taiwan plans to open a special office on July 1 for Hong Kong residents seeking to relocate from the territory, amid concerns over the security laws.

This will seriously violate the safety & freedom of HKers & International people. Mr Kovrig & Mr Spavor'case will happen in HK. It is important that the free world unites in confrontation to stop the CCP’s further threats. PlsStandwithHK

This is really worrying, we HKger are witnessing our home become a big prison. Our freedom are oppressed by Xi Jingping regime. Our autonomy should be protected by international treaty, but clear Xi destroy it. NationalSecurityLaw StandWithHK

China is using stronger strategies to exploit hkers’ human rights! Please StandWithHK and aware that China is a threat to the global society! It uses inappropriate means to achieve its goal of being the world’s leader! We should say no to such oppression!

Please don't be misled by the word National Security. To CCPChina, law is a tool and 'National Security' is a universal excuse to suppress any voices not agreeing with CCP.

HK people still strive on our freedom, autonomy, justice, even the national security law will pass in HK.

CCP is definitely a tyranny. It is said that “special judges to be appointed by the chief executive” but you know chief executive is also under CCP. Basically CCP controls all the things🤷🏻‍♀️

HongKong is the NewWestBerlin . We are suffering from humanitarian crisis. It is beyond political but ethical. StandWithHK

CCP never respects deals and no integrity, and universal values for the good of human rights are not going to be appreciated for China under communist party. FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong BoycottChina

How to interpret the new national security law : Hong Kong still gets the freedom of speech, media, assembly, protest, anti-government in some extend, unless CCP decides you don't. Goodbye to one country, two system.

Let's see how China perform just like tyranny StandWithHongKong

Communist China intended to impose the national security law that will be easily abused to eliminate opposite voice.

I guess CCP feel headache about it and waiting the response of foreign countries and international organisations. That’s why CCP only draft it and hide their further action. CCP_is_terrorist StandWithHongKong

Law for HK, made in China. Wonderful

It's the beginning of the end of Hong Kong! Goodbye, Pearl of The East!

The national security law would undermine the citizens’ human rights and freedoms enshrined in the handover agreement & Basic Law

CCP_is_terrorist ! BoycottChina as soon as possible! Otherwise today's HK tomorrow will be the world! StandWithHongKong

CCP dictatorship is expanding. boycottchina to liberate the world from dictator!

China is buying time and tries to pass the law ASAP while other countries are still dealing with internal affairs especially the US. HK will become the NewWestBerlin very soon . Hope US can take financial sanctions to make CCP pay although it will seriously harm the HK economy.

China is destroying Hongkong democracy and freedom. Please stop China dictatorship! Please support Hongkong StandWithHongKong CCP_is_terrorist

The National Security Law is more evil than the Extradition Bill. If China can successfully legislate this time, there’s no longer a need for the spirit of contract in the world.😕
