According to HKGov, they claimed that 0.01% of HKers might be affected by the evil law. However, even only 0.01% are targeted, it still implies 750 HKers might be arrested by secret police and prosecuted in Mainland China. That's the chilling effect. edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2…

4/ Joshua said that the breaches the premise of the Sino-British Joint declaration, a bilateral agreement that was registered at the United Nations. It was signed to guarantee HK’s autonomy for 50 years after the former British colony’s sovereignty was transferred to China.

3/ “Time is running out in Hong Kong ... (that is almost turning from) ‘one country, two systems’ to ‘one country, one system’ and (this) seems to be the beginning of the end,” said Wong, referring to the principle which China uses to govern Hong Kong.

1/ “We all know that the national security law is not about security of China, it’s just about enhancing, embracing the Communist regime in China. It could be arbitrarily enforced and that the prosecution of those who breach it may not take place in HK."

2/ “In the future, I might not be jailed in Hong Kong anymore, I might be jailed in China, in Beijing and that is the tremendous threat we might need to face.” It also calls into question the status of HK as a free port and economy for the free flow of capital." Joshua argued.

Hong Kong is the front line of a new cold war. If it burns, the world gets burned too. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

For decades, HK has facilitated the influx of global capital and otherwise unavailable goods (high-tech products) into China. Leaders in Beijing continue to reap the benefits of this arrangement while our freedoms deteriorate. They can’t have it both ways.

All eyes on the president tomorrow. Let's see what happens. I very much hope the administration will strike the right balance between exerting economic pressure on China and defending Hong Kongers' rights. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

Indeed the support for #HongKong in Washington is bipartisan. Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for joining other Democrats like @RepMcGovern and @SenJeffMerkley to speak up for us since @SecPompeo's latest report. I look forward to more strong responses from the administration. twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/…

Lately the solidarity with Hong Kongers that @iingwen, @MOFA_Taiwan and our Taiwanese friends have shown has been nothing short of heartwarming. Thank you!

"One Country, Two Systems" has always been a lie, little more than "One China" in disguise. Now Asian geopolitics is reshaping right in front of our eyes. As a bastion of freedom, Taiwan deserves the world's support to emerge as a regional power. The age of isolation is over.

Great new cover. After the national-security law in #HongKong, Beijing's next target is #Taiwan (although much stronger than the tiny dot suggests). With the global community turning its attention to us, I urge everyone to not forget about the beautiful, democratic island. twitter.com/TheEconomist/s…

[PETITION: Make HKers' voices heard in Europe!]
chng.it/hhDSLC5vn8 by @SunnyCheungky @nathanlawkc @joshuawongcf
HKers must make our voices heard in Europe. We must call for help to strike back against China's push on HK's freedom & autonomy. Say no to #NationalSecurityLaw.

As China's parliament approves Hong Kong's national security legislation, @joshuawongcf and @KwongGlacier explain why it's especially crucial now for the world to stand by Hong Kong. vice.com/en_asia/articl…

@joshuawongcf
4/ With the ill-defined law interpretation and a #secretpolice agency imposed in #HK, the law will harm all foreign interests and ex-pats in this global city. #Xijinping proposed in 2017 that China’s #nationalsecurity covers economic and social aspects.
1492
@joshuawongcf
5/ Under #wolfwarrior diplomacy, foreign companies can be victims under this new evil law. Clearly, China refuses to address the world's concerns & halt the legislation. International communities need to take firmer stance & challenge its assault on our global rule-based system.
1493
@joshuawongcf
6/ Since this new regime will undeniably harm foreign interests, I call upon world leaders to urge China to withdraw the bill. Since the law casts more doubt on HK’s autonomy, I urge the world to take necessary actions to send a warning signal to China for its reckless move.
1494
@joshuawongcf
2/ Today’s decision is a direct assault on the will of #HKers. China is scrapping its promise of autonomy under the Joint Declaration, a legally binding international treaty, & burying 1Country2System when a #secretpolice agency can enforce #China’s laws within territory of HK.
1495
@joshuawongcf
3/ Up to now, #Beijing loyalists keep downplaying the adverse impacts on HK’s judicial independence & civil liberties. Under similar law in China, people seeking justice for #TiananmenMassacre, supporting HKProtest were sentenced to jail. It might kill HK’s democratic movements.

@joshuawongcf
1/ Despite foreign doubts and #Hongkongers’ criticism, #NPC just passed #nationalsecuritylegislation. # China unilaterally imposes the law with its legislation entirely under a black box, with no legislative scrutiny and public consultation.

He said the Chinese government “took advantage" of the global COVID-19 pandemic to introduce its national security law, adding that Hong Kong should not be recognized as a free port anymore as Beijing is not respecting the Sino-British Joint Declaration or the U.S.-HK Policy Act.

The @CECCgov co-chairman, again, is spot-on here. I understand @SecPompeo's decision may cause anxieties among some in Hong Kong and the U.S., but it's ultimately the most sensible move when it comes to safeguarding our autonomy, in light of the difficult circumstances. twitter.com/SenRubioPress/…
