As reported above by Sky News, thousands of Hong Kong citizens have held a demonstration protesting Beijing’s plan to enforce national security laws on the city.

Beijing unveiled plans on Friday to impose laws on Hong Kong that would ban subversion, secession, foreign interference and any acts that threaten national security.

According to a CCP spokesman:

“Hong Kong independence groups and local radical separatist forces have continually escalated violent terrorist activities.

External forces are deeply illegal interfering in Hong Kong’s affairs, which has caused serious harm to China’s national security”.

Since when have protestors been terrorists?

Protestors are rightly concerned the laws are not compatible with the “one nation, two system” policy and place limitations on their traditional freedoms.

As reported by WION below, the CCP has also flagged setting up new policing agencies in Hong Kong to enforce the new national security laws:

The CCP is clearly using the Wuhan Coronavirus to push through these laws while the world is distracted.

Australia needs to get as far from this evil regime as it can as soon as it can.
