At stake is the future of one of the world’s most important finance hubs. #HongKong is both a key fundraising center for #ChineseCompanies seeking access to international #CapitalMarkets and the primary conduit for foreign firms to invest in #China.

The law, known as #Article23 will target crimes including #treason, theft of #StateSecrets, #Espionage, #Sabotage, #Sedition and "external interference" including from foreign governments. The #HongKong legislature, which is dominated by pro-Beijing lawmakers, is expected to approve it. #China

why Google responded to some requests, while other companies did not?
“authorities could be empowered to search and arrest suspects without a warrant, if they do not comply with requests. Hong Kong staff of service providers based overseas may also be at risk.”

Hong Kong’s internet service providers will have no choice but to help police with national security requests now that officers have been given “unfettered” power, analysts say, warning that online privacy and freedom could be under threat.
Under the new national security law Beijing has imposed on Hong Kong, police no longer have to seek court orders before requiring internet users or “relevant service providers”– believed to cover social media platforms and also firms – to remove information or help with an investigation.

By imposing its #securitylaw, #China ripped up the #JointDeclaration on #HongKong, disrespected the city's status as an #SAR and essentially killed off the Troian Horse known as #onestatetwosystems as a consequence.
Now China blames #GreatBritain of breaching the contract it has signed because it has offered political #asylum to citizens of Hong Kong unwilling to continue their lives behind the Great Firewall in a totalitarian one-party state.
My take: FUCK CHINA's CCP.
