calls crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces. The law carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and in some cases suspects could be sent to mainland China for trial. Beijing says it's necessary to stop the city's unrest.
The 27-year-old told ABC News,"it was definitely a very tough choice," knowing he could be leaving his home forever.Law is now in self-imposed exile in London so he can freely lobby foreign governments. Just this week, he met with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, something which is considered a crime under the new law.

Under the new national security law, HongKong has no more semi-autonomy and freedoms whatsoever. Fixed it for you.
It is a fact that freedom has been thoroughly eroded in Hong Kong. The city should no longer warrant special privileges granted by the international community.
The NationalSecurityLaw allows hk govt and HKPoliceTerrorists to hv unlimited power to spy on us. The law is full of ambiguity and is clear it is not for the sake of national security.
One country two systems is dead. The autonomy of Hong Kong is continuously being undermined. NewWestBerlin FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong HumanRights SOSHK MagnitskyAct
The freedom of Hong Kong is being eroded progressively.
Hong Kong is not in balance and have not semi-autonomy until now. Everything is under ccp control and ccp ordered bloodycarrie puppet government to follow. CCP_is_terrorist HumanRightsViolations onecountrytwosystemsisdead
Not hang in balance, it’s dead
CCP can’t wait to takeover HK in a much complete way, the promise of one country two systems is a lie! FightForFreedom CCP_is_terrorist CCPLiedPeopleDied
New reality of Hong Kong must include new speak...... CCPChina StandWithHongKong HongKong
Are our autonomy and freedom still in the balance? Or are they nowhere to be found? HongKongProtests
Expecting a extraordinary long winter
HKER never participating in this law making process. This is violate to JD. We are all awaiting the judgement day!
We Hongkongers never signed up for these Beijing drafted laws.
Hong Kong wants freedom StandWithHongKong The world can now see the true picture of China. The purpose of any government is to serve and protect people, not to force them to follow their ideals. Anything else is a dictatorship.
Draconian National Security Law marks an end of “One Country and Two Systems”. And obviously shows CCP’s aggression to destroy limited freedom and democracy left in Hong Kong. And it is time to put their evil expansion on a halt, and unite with global anti CCP alliance!
Not a balance. One thing that is clear:one country two systems was death. For example,HongKong’s freedom of the press is going to lost under CCP Security “Law”
and the gaming industry cooperates with China on eroding freedom and democracy
Nah they’re long gone. HKPoliceState
It marks the end of OneCountryTwoSystems; HongKong is no longer the international city that we used to know.
HK's basic right and liberty is heavily restricted under the law. Peaceful election and protests are considered as breaches of the NationalSecurityLaw. Beijing did not comply with the Sino British Joint Declaration and the 1C2S.
This is not a balance. The so-called NationalSecurityLaw erodes the remaining freedoms of us by promoting fear. Communist red capitals are everywhere in HongKong, increasing our dependency on CCPChina. That's also why YellowEconomicCircle appears. FreeHongKong
The NationalSecurityLaw actually tipped the balance ➡️CCP is mainlandizing Hong Kong to be just another city of the most Orwellian state ever, & it is not stopping after HK
It’s not just a law. It is the end of 1Country2Systems. With imposing NationalSecurityLaw, China can arrest whoever they want. Everything CCP dislikes could be “Subversion of State Power”. This how China turns HongKong into a ordinary Chinese city without freedom.
Such as,HongKongers have no freedom to demand the justice and truth about 721YuenLongAttack That's why we would always claim that there is no justice in HongKong now
Your parent company could do something about this.
The UCAB-ENCOVI study discovers the distances between official propaganda and the dramatic reality of the Venezuelan University, see:
For demonstrators, this law limits their behavior. For ordinary people,the law prevents them from being stopped by uniformed civilian protesters on their way to work
It is not just a law for HongKong , but a law for the whole universe ☻
Let’s not say that Hong Kong now has no freedom at all. After some days, even the word 'freedom' may disappear or be forbidden, which is absurd? Today’s Hong Kong is indeed so absurd, completely beyond what you can imagine NationalSecurityLaw ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
The freedom in Hong Kong is being threatened. StandWithHongKong NationalSecurityLaw FreedomOfSpeech HumanRights
Hong Kong now is under autocratic regime, the investors and foreigners worry about their safety, it’s no longer a suitable place for financial centre. CCP_is_terrorist StandWithHongKong
All of the citizens are monitored by CCP.
Can’t agree at all. Hong Kong already lost her freedom, autonomy and human right since June 2019 that CarrieLam had no power to say “withdraw” of extradition bill. She just the puppet of CCP, every decision had to ask for CCP permission.
Not hang in balance but officially dead, gone
It actually tipped the balance With the NationalSecurityLaw, CCP is mainlandizing Hong Kong to be just another city of the most Orwellian state ever, & it is not stopping after HK
It’s not just a law. It is the end of 1Country2Systems. With imposing NationalSecurityLaw, China can arrest whoever they want. Everything CCP dislikes could be “Subversion of State Power”. This how China turns HongKong into a ordinary Chinese city without freedom.
To be more precise, autonomy and freedom are dead. Although freedom is guaranteed by the Basic Law, Beijing didn't comply with it and imposed the NationalSecurityLaw.
The security law are tools to tighten the control over people’s freedom . Election hosted by the public could be denounced as illegal under the NSL That’s ridiculous isnt it
Search Freedom. 404 not found. Under the threat of CCP, white terror spread around Hong Kong. Lennon walls, songs, or graphics about protests/ human rights (oh, even a white paper) are not allowed. :(
There's no freedom at all
The legal terms, statements in the NationalSecurityLaw are so vague, allowing the Gov't great power to oppress the opposing voice There's still freedom in HongKong?
ABC-NEWS can't you blame Trump for this?
Definitely. CCP keeps ruining the liberal society and greatly violating universal core values like freedom and democracy
