Despite backlash, China passes Hong Kong security law. How will it affect Hong Kong?

Hong Kong witnessed one of the more prominent changes in years of free governance when China successfully passed Hong Kong security law on June 30, 2020 which will now give new powers to China over Hong Kong.

It all happened in a way that Hong Kong never had any security law because of its unpopularnature so China intervened and took it upon itself to ensure the ‘security’ of the autonomous country, a move highly criticised by officials and the Hong Kong nationals. There were series of protests demanding China not to interfere in Hong Kong’s affairs but China went on to intrude and despite backlases, managed to pass the law, which made people doubt their freedom.

"It is clear that the law will have a severe impact on freedom of expression, if not personal security, on the people of Hong Kong. Effectively, they are imposing the People's Republic of China's criminal system onto the Hong Kong common law system, leaving them with complete discretion to decide who should fall into which system,” said Professor Johannes Chan, a legal scholar at the University of Hong Kong, while talking to BBC.

British left the mainland of China and gave the control of Hong Kong back to China but undera unique agreement - a mini-constitution called the Basic Law and a so-called "one country, two systems" principle.

They are supposed to protect certain freedoms for Hong Kong: freedom of assembly and speech, an independent judiciary and some democratic rights - freedoms that no other part of mainland China has. Now with the security law being passed and China taking over it means that they can mould the freedoms given to the Hong kong nationals any which way possible. People were so opposed to this idea that last year the protests showed signs of a pro-democratic government which scared China. China no way wants any such stance and thus had to intrude and keep the power to itself.

Though China maintains its stand on this and says the law is needed to tackle unrest and instability and rejects criticism as interference in its affairs.

“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...
