Here’s a suggestion for those rioting in the United States. If you really want to protest injustice buy a ticket to Hong Gong! There, ‘…China really has it in for Hong Kong, right? The communist nation that is responsible for the outbreak of the Chinese coronavirus passed a new draft law on Thursday that will end Hong Kong’s autonomy. The law was passed by the National People’s Congress, the fake democratic lawmaking body in authoritarian China. The end result of this new law will give more power to the Chinese Communist Party to punish people in Hong Kong for committing crimes “against national security” and “secession.”
In short, if you support independence for Hong Kong, then the Chinese Communist Party can lock you up.
When the United Kingdom gave Hong Kong to China in 1997, as part of the “One Country, Two Systems” plan, the Communist Party was banned from imposing any of its own laws in Hong Kong. It was a key part of the agreement to hand the nation back over to China, but as part of that agreement Hong Kong was made to accept that Beijing, the capital of China, has sovereignty over the autonomous nation. It meant that Hong Kong cannot have its own armed forces and cannot engage in any diplomacy without China.
Until now, though, Hong Kong has not been affected by many of China’s excessive laws. This is worrying…particularly given that it follows a whole year of the people of Hong Kong taking to the streets and protesting against China.
Chinese dictator Xi Jinping wasn’t willing to listen and has repeatedly attempted to overwrite the One Country, Two System policy. This is the furthest he has gone in those efforts.
According to the Global Times, a propaganda outlet representing the Chinese communist government, the new legislation “protects national security.”’ https://thepatriotsource.com/china-passes-new-law-that-will-suffocate-hong-kong/
