China has approved a shocking new security law for Hong Kong which is expected to be approved by their puppet government in Hong Kong this week.
The BBC reported earlier this week that a law was being proposed by the China government covering actions in Hong Kong.
One part that has got people worried is the suggestion that China could set up its own institutions in Hong Kong responsible for security.
"Almost all trials involving national security are conducted behind closed doors. It [is] never clear what exactly the allegations and the evidence are, and the term national security is so vague that it could cover almost anything," Professor Johannes Chan, a legal scholar at the University of Hong Kong, says.
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said developments in Hong Kong meant it could no longer be considered to have "a high degree of autonomy" from mainland China.
Hong Kong was the hub that connected China to the West.
Finally, came the China coronavirus, where Hong Kong literally shut down for months.
