'Former British colony of Hong Kong'. Strange to open up the segment with that line. Hong Kong has been part of China for ever, bar a period of British colonial rule.
Yes and ironically it was only while they were a British colony that Hong Kong got to enjoy the sweet air of freedom. I bet most of them would love to go back to that now.
The rule of the Chinese empire over the southern coast was at most de jure, de facto the pirates of these areas were basically independent front the Ming and Ching Dynasties for more than 400 years
Hong Kong is part of China so why cant they have laws that China wants, and is it really our problem if their parliament is pro China since they’re part of China? Yes, they passed a law that a lot of people don’t like, count how many the Conservatives in the UK have passed in the past few years that limit peoples right of expression and include laws people generally do not like. Look in the mirror sometimes it’s helpful!
It`s not a law that the people like, need or want, it is a law that a dictator wants to oppress the population with. Why don`t you open your eyes? that could be helpful?
It's funny how we're all supposed to be Outraged by this because it's "Undemocratic" yet under British rule hon Kong was never allowed to be a democracy.
Errr What. What about the U.K's own Police, Crime and Sentecing and Courts Bill. This Bill Will allow the Police to criminalise the right to protest by banning noisy and annoying protests. Right here in the uk
Tobe honest nothings else much better than has National Security Law and Article 23 pass in Hong Kong by now. This way can able to avoid these none Chinese country come using those young hkers messing up theirown city again. Normal HKers are fully support pass Article 23 and so happy now.

I clicked on this to expect lies and I didn't disappoint. Rubber stamp law because the legislative council were full of patriots? Have you ever thought about that statement? Would you have MPs that are loyal to, say Russia or China? You were shocked at how quickly it was introduced? It has been 5 years since the 2019 riots. A lot of work has gone into drafting and consulting with people before it's handed to the legislative council. Why is it called the article 23? Because this is Article 23 of the HK basic law which HK was supposed to craft as soon as possible but failed to do so for decades due to external actors. The HK basic law (inc.Article 23) is agreed by the British Government that HK needs its own national security law. It was left to HK to decide at the time. It is actually very late, 27 years late.
This Article 23 is so "stupid and pointless" as being a new law for Hong Kong AFTER the 2019 protest, yet enforced on Hong Kong citizens whom had values and speaking out for freedom and democracy prior to 2019 protest. A typical "draconian" rule of law.
The authority says if you are a law-abiding citizen, you should have no concern, but the real concern is if you have expressed something " wrong" you have become not a law-abiding citizen can be locked up. They also make it effective from 3.23 to celebrate their "success". How cruel!!
@@gooner3654 You seem to have ignored both countries have their ruling parties democratically elected and there is no rule of law but rule by law in HK. On the other hand, as someone came from there now residing in a western country, it seems to me there's pretty much nothing we can do and therefore it's more sensible to get on with life and make a difference to where I belong.
There are some mistakes in this reporting. The protests in 2019 were not triggered by "Beijing's extradition law," but by a locally proposed extradition bill under the government of the previous chief executive
Shocking. I am so glad we don't live in a country where Michael Gove (for example) gets to decide who is and isn't an "extremist"...wait, what?!

so.....its...still a former british colony...................?

The thing is Hong Kong wasn’t really a place before being established a colony. It’s not like as if it was already a well-established settlement.
Not really, there was a racial hierarchy in place@@robbieshand6139
