Will Be In Effect Soon – China Is Killing Its Golden Goose!
China has approved a shocking new security law for Hong Kong which is expected to be approved by their puppet government in Hong Kong this week.
The BBC reported earlier this week that a law was being proposed by the China government covering actions in Hong Kong. The law was to include the following:
So the details are thin but we know this much. A law would make criminal any act of:
- secession – breaking away from the country
- subversion – undermining the power or authority of the central government
- terrorism – using violence or intimidation against people
- activities by foreign forces that interfere in Hong Kong
One part that has got people worried is the suggestion that China could set up its own institutions in Hong Kong responsible for security.

“Almost all trials involving national security are conducted behind closed doors. It [is] never clear what exactly the allegations and the evidence are, and the term national security is so vague that it could cover almost anything,” Professor Johannes Chan, a legal scholar at the University of Hong Kong, says.
