China Moves To Criminalize Dissent, ‘Sedition’ In Hong Kong. Hong Kong Fights Back.

On Friday, Chinese authorities announced a new law cracking down on Hong Kong’s pro-democracy and anti-China movement, sneaking in heavy regulations that could allow the Communist behemoth to arrest anyone accused of fomenting “dissent” or “sedition” in the city-state while much of Hong Kong remains under coronavirus-related lockdown.

The shocking new regulations, Toronto’s Globe and Mail reports “will criminalize conduct according to Beijing’s definitions of what constitutes separatism, terrorism, subversion and illegal foreign meddling,” and, worse, the draft completely revolutionizes Hong Kong’s legal system, empowering Hong Kong law enforcement to arrest city-state residents at the behest of the Chinese government, and giving “mainland China the right to place its own enforcers on Hong Kong soil.”
