China on Saturday announced details of draft national security legislation for Hong Kong, which is expected to be finalised in coming weeks.

Supporters of Hong Kong anti-government movement gather at Liberty Square, to mark the one-year anniversary of the start of the protests in Hong Kong, in Taipei, Taiwan, June 13, 2020. REUTERS/Ann Wang— The draft law aims to tackle separatism, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces. It is unclear yet what activities would constitute such crimes and what the punishments would be.

— Provisions in the security law would supersede existing Hong Kong legislation should the two conflict. — While Hong Kong authorities would be responsible for most criminal cases related to national security, the office and other mainland Chinese state-security agencies would be able to exercise jurisdiction over “a very small number” of cases. No guidelines have been published for determining which cases are handled by Beijing.

— New local police and prosecution units will be set up to investigate and to enforce the law, backed by mainland security and intelligence officers deployed to Beijing’s new commission.

This is to end Hong Kong, taking away all our freedom, justice and rule of law! Many Hongkongers will be persecuted! May the free world please help save Hong Kong by sanctioning evil CCP!

Is it really details of the law, or the fact that HK's legal system is completely controlled and overridden by CCP, that matters? No matter how the law is written, it won't be followed by CCP. Too many examples in CCPChina.

In fact, they can’t make it more clearly, CCP rules their citizens by fearless, you fear, you guess, you set the line to yourself and you please them. StandWithHongKong CCP_is_terrorist

Other countries may also have national security laws, but this security law proposed by China prevails over basic human rights and all HongKong laws. It also covers any sort of acts that China arbitrarily believes are unfavorable to its rule. StandWithHongKong SanctionChina

The judicial system of Hong Kong will become unpredictable, no more rule of law.

Stronger the suppression from Beijing; HongKongers are connected closely and strengthen our beliefs in democracy and liberty.

HK ppl use their tear, blood & life to prove China is a totalitarian reigme. The world should beware of China threats. Its devil long arm has reached every corner in the planet. Stop & sanction them now. Help HK & help the world StandWithHK MagnitskyAct

You can see how CCP undermine our human rights. They should be condemned and sanctioned by the international community. StandWithHK FightForFreedom

The national security law is too abstract so that it will be easily abused to eliminate opposite voices.

One country two systems is history, hongkongpolicebrutality is now, CCP educational camp is tomorrow StandWithHongKong BYCOTTMADEInCHINA

China’s new national security law bans secession, terrorism, and “foreign interference,” essentially making Hong Kong just like mainland China, where criticism against the government and the Chinese Communist Party is forbidden.

'Provisions in the security law would supersede existing Hong Kong legislation should the two conflict.' The CCP has started the transformation of Basic Law, aiming to eliminate all incompatible elements in the common law. Judicial independence is gibberish. StandWithHongKong

In short, political dissidents in Hong Kong would be arrested, prosecuted and imposed long jail sentences, like those in China.

wow~These students look so rich. Everyone get iPhone😉

Put it simple,HongKong is further being China and the suppression is stronger StandWithHongKong

Everything it control by china, it just a cheat

Fear is the strong weapon of CCP. The NationalSecurityLaw will create fear among HKers. HKers will self censor to avoid violating the NationalSecurityLaw.

Just make it simple. Oppose CCPChina = terrorism = conflict with this evil law StandWithHK

One country two systems is a lie

1/ Step by step, China will control Hong Kong. The increase in pressure with security laws to set the stage for the deployment of military and police forces.
