Hongkongers’ Thoughts on ​CCP’s Push for ​National Security Law

The Hong Kong National Security Law, proposed by the CCP at the “Two Sessions" conference, has sparked an international outcry. Let's hear what Hongkongers in the US have to say. The Hong Kong National Law will allow for regulations regarding subversion of state power, secession, terrorist activities, and interference by external forces. This means that some contents in Article 23 of the “Basic Law” will be directly inserted into Annex III and implemented in Hong Kong, without being scrutinized by its Legislative Council, thus, further reducing freedom of speech and freedom of assembly in Hong Kong. Moreover, foreign secretary of the UK and foreign ministers of Australia and Canada issued a joint statement expressing their “deep concern” over the CCP's proposal to implement a national security law in Hong Kong.
