China passed new security laws affecting Hong Kong which will leave them defenseless.
Crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces are punishable by a minimum sentence of three years, with the maximum being life
Inciting hatred of the central government and Hong Kong's regional government are now offenses under Article 29
Damaging public transport facilities can be considered terrorism
Those found guilty will not be allowed to stand for public office
Beijing will establish a new security office in Hong Kong, with its own law enforcement personnel - neither of which would come under the local authority's jurisdiction
Hong Kong's chief executive can appoint judges in national security cases and the justice secretary can decide whether or not there is a jury
Decisions made by the national security commission, set up by local authorities, cannot be challenged legally
China also says it will take over pros
ffs China... This is like some 1984 crap.
