Hong Kong Current Events

[Yu Ominae]

This raid was a bit controversial that even pro-Beijing groups are wondering if Lam has gone too far.

Looks like some pro-Beijing people wants the HK judicial system to be reformed in line with Beijing.

Interesting news.

Also, the three arrested ex-Studentlocalism members were allowed to leave prison.

The BN(O) is a new target for Beijing:

A clear warning for those in HK who are known to have dual nationality aside from HK SAR (Chinese) nationality.

[Yu Ominae]

CBC is covering the anti-dual national laws that Hong Kong is "now enforcing".

[Yu Ominae]

Well, Beijing moved in to "reform" HK's electoral system.

Macau is facing the same issues as HK now.

The Macau SAR government's warning any AL (Legislative Assembly in Portuguese) lawmakers who supports the protests in HK can potentially face a ban from serving in the government.

It looks like Joshua Wong can't catch a break: he was handed four additional months of jail time for unlawful assembly, and his family has sold their apartment in Hong Kong, moving to Australia.

[Yu Ominae]

He's already the CCP's punching bag for some time now.

And his folks IIRC already left in early 2021.

The Hong Kong Legislative Council passed an immigraton bill with powers to do exit bans.

29-year-old Louis Lo was handed a 12-year sentence for possession of over two kilograms of explosives with the intent of using them. I'm not anything approaching knowledgable on politics, so I must ask the question: how precisely would two kilograms of TATP help the pro-independence movement?

[Yu Ominae]

Answer is that it doesn't. Moderate and non-violent groups have condemned anarchy-type persons/groups who use violence like that guy who got sentenced.

The HKSAR government is legally allowed to use exit ban powers.

Some more radical individuals think that Chinese government is not going to answer any more peaceful way of protests and foreign powers are not going to sacrifice their relationship with Chinese government in order to help Hong Kong, so the only way they could see is using violence to deny China's authority and governance in Hong Kong though the Hong Kong local government.

A good summary on which pro-democrat parties are going to be heavily affected by the rules passed by the LegCo.

In Short, it mean everyone
A few have not been observed to be affected despite no being part of the pro-government establishment camp, have long declared that they are not part of the pan-democratic camp either.
