New Zhongguo Security Laws

We know this much. A law would make criminal any act of:

• Secession - breaking away from the country.
• Subversion - undermining the power or authority of the central government.
• Terrorism - using violence or intimidation against people
• Activities by foreign forces that interfere in Hong Kong.
So nothing alarming there at all.

One part that has got people worried is the suggestion that China could set up its own institutions in Hong Kong responsible for security.
What? Like the same way U.S.A. and CANADA uses it's military against their own civilians?

New law could see people punished for criticising Beijing.
Just like it's illegal to bad mouth Jews publicly here? They call it anti-semitism and they made it illegal.

Many are also afraid Hong Kong's judicial system will become like China's.

"Almost all trials involving national security are conducted behind closed doors. It [is] never clear what exactly the allegations and the evidence are, and the term national security is so vague that it could cover almost anything," Professor Johannes Chan, a legal scholar at the University of Hong Kong, says.
pfffff two words, Guantanamo Bay.

Hong Kong was handed back to China from British control in 1997, but under a unique agreement - a mini-constitution called the Basic Law and a so-called "one country, two systems" principle.

They are supposed to protect certain freedoms for Hong Kong: freedom of assembly and speech, an independent judiciary and some democratic rights - freedoms that no other part of mainland China has.
Don't worry, the U.S.A. and CANADA break treaties like they're going out of style. They're professional liars.

The Basic Law says Chinese laws can't be applied in Hong Kong unless they are listed in a section called Annex III - there are already a few listed there, mostly uncontroversial and around foreign policy.

These laws can be introduced by decree - which means they bypass the city's parliament and Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam has already said she will co-operate.
Just as the "queen" here can do. Again, welcome to the club Hong Kong.

They're getting their "Patriot Act" and their "National Defense Authorization Act 2019"

Welcome to the club boys! This is how they've been running North America for the last hundred years!
