Hong Kong Crisis: China Proposes Security Laws in Hong Kong, Danger to Hong Kong’s Existence


As China proposed to impose new national security laws on Hong Kong, the threat to country’s freedom of subversion is in imminent danger.


Hong Kong is famously known as the ‘city of protest’, where people come down on streets protesting for their rights and holding government accountable. This was however put to rest in 2003 when an anti-sedition law known as Article 23 was passed. Since then no government has dared to lift and go against Beijing.

 

After last year’s pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, Beijing’s patience ran out this week.

 

National People’s Congress (NPC) in China proposed to pass a regulation for national security and anti-sedition law on behalf of the city. This was done bypassing the Hong Kong’s legislature through a constitutional backdoor, which is rarely used.

 

This is done in attempt to take the full control of Hong Kong by Communist Party in China post the last year’s protests in the territory.

 

According to the draft released of the legislation, a legal framework is set up by the China’s parliament to “prevent, stop and punish any act to split the country, subvert the state power, organize and carry out terrorist activities and other behaviours that seriously endanger national security.”

 

China’s proposal of security law has attracted condemnation from across the countries and raised the prospect of unrest in the territory in future.

 

What does this mean for Hong Kong?

This proposed law which is expected to be passed by NPC later this month and applied in Hong Kong soon after that, is expected to have massive impact on the Hong Kong population, from political spheres to education, international business and social structure of the country.

 

Hong Kong has always pride and honored itself of the independent jury and civil liberties, far ahead of what is the status in mainland China. The practice of arbitrary punishment and secrecy of political detention common in China is almost unheard of in Hong Kong.

 

With the implementation of security law in the country, the basic foundation of justice and legislation in Hong Kong will be ripped off, giving Beijing a leeway to go for as they fit.

 

The law implementation would be a nightmare for Hong Kong courts which operate the opposite of what is practiced in China.

 

The free press and media in Hong Kong have a survival fight ahead of them with high chances of extinction.

 

With the coronavirus restrictions still in place, the law makers and people of Hong Kong are clueless of the fight ahead, but definitely a long one.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
