Sad or Angry? Do you Feel Blue Under the Chinese Communist Party?
If the handover in 1997 has pushed Hongkongers to a point of no return, Hongkongers do not even has a place to hide after Beijing's unilateral introduction of the national security law.
Whether you live in Hong Kong or not, the rupture between the open society and China's great wall has slipped into your life.
Populist authoritarianism is haunting the globe. An alien to the free world. This untamable alien has applied controlocracy though WeChat terrorism and censorship, spreading from the national to the international level.
Do you think this is unrelated to your country or your community? What is happening to Hong Kong proves the opposite.
Just before China's announcement of introducing the Nation Security Law in Hong Kong, two "coincidences" occured:
Google did not suggest any auto-complete results for the word "黃色" (yellow), the color of democracy in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Facebook disallowed updates when netizens tried to access the pages of Hong Kong pro-democracy activists and groups.
Have we hit rock bottom? No one knows, but the future lies in your hand. The free world or China's great wall, which way do you want to avoid?
Don't you mind if the Internet blocks your favourite colour?

Full Draft Exposed by Beijing:
China's national security officials to "perform their duties” in Hong Kong
The Standing Committee of National People’s Congress (NPCSC) plenary sessions commenced on 22 May, where the deliberation on the draft of the “National Security Law in Hong Kong" is scheduled on the agenda. The draft states that the Law will be included in Annex III of the Basic Law “to be implemented by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region through local announcements”. In other words, the law will be promulgated without passing though a review at the Legislative Council.
Eddie Chu Hoi-dik, Hong Kong Legislative Councillor, described point four of the draft as an indication that "the secret police will be entering the house" and "the Chinese secret police can arrest people in Hong Kong with legitimate reason“, adding that the law will lead to a series of problems.
Firstly, Chu was concerned that in the process of arrest, interrogation and detention by the "secret police", "are the arrested still protected by the relevant laws in Hong Kong?” As the law of Hong Kong stipulates that a suspect can be detained for a maximum of 48 hours has the right to remain silent, see a lawyer and apply for habeas corpus.
Secondly, if the “secret police” torture (the arrested), "there is not even a fake mechanism for accountability,” said Chu.
Thirdly, if a Hong Kong person is "disappeared" and suspected of being arrested by the "secret police", "what can the family do? Report it to the Hong Kong Police?” asked Chu.
The fifth point of the draft mentions that the Chief Executive of Hong Kong is required to submit regular reports to the Central People’s Government on the performance of his/her duties in safeguarding national security, promoting education on national security and (prohibiting) conduct which endangers national security.
The sixth point of the draft relates to authorization for the NPCSC to establish in Hong Kong "institutions and enforcement mechanisms for the preservation of national security", and expressly states that “organs of the Central People's Government for the protection of national security may set up institutions in Hong Kong in accordance with the law" to perform their duties for safeguarding national security.

The Financial Sector are Already Feeling the Impact of the National Security Law
Following Beijing's forceful imposition if the "National Security Law" in Hong Kong, the financial sector has already silenced itself.
Local and foreign analysts and traders received instructions that they are not allowed to explain to the media in any capacity that the discussion of the national security laws is the cause of the recent dip.
After the market closed on 21 May, rumors about the "Hong Kong National Security Law" began to spread. After 5pm, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar dropped from 7.7500 to 7.7539 within an hour. At the same time, the forward exchange rate, which expires one year later, also fell from 7.7746 to 7.7977, down 231 pips, which is 440 pips less than the spot price.
In time, the media reports that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" is about to be released, but it is strange that many Chinese, foreign, and Hong Kong-funded stock market analysts, and even traders have been demanded by "higher-ups" tp stay silent. The have been ordered not to claim the fluctuation of the stock market and the weakening of the Hong Kong exchange rate to be related to the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law". They were asked to say that the "return of violent protests, the United States intent to withdraw from the Chinese stock market, and the increasing risk of aversion" are the cause to the stock market fluctuations.
Considering foreign exchange reports in the past two days regarding the sharp decline in the Hong Kong dollar and the stock market, the analysts did cite different reasons to explain rather than the national security laws.
Under the united front of the Chinese Communist Party, even the freedom of expression and basic human rights were censored and restricted. Apparently, Chinese and Hong Kong investors are afraid of the Chinese Communist Party and some analysts have become mouthpieces.
Some unnamed fund brokers described the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Act" to be more dangerous than Article 23. The stock market panic-sold on May 22, and the foreign investment sell-off were the most intense. Under China's "Stability first" policy, the role of analysts will be reduced to mouthpieces, and the financial markets that Hong Kong is proud of will become a thing of the past.

Government Gazettes Anthem Law, Pro-Beijing Camp Dominates Legislative Council on One Year Mark of Hong Kong's Pro-Democracy Movement
1440 | #LegCo
In the Legislative Council, Starry Lee, the pro-Beijing chairperson of the House Committee, expelled the pro-demoracy lawmakers who displayed placards and shouted "Lest we forget 612" from the chamber.
Today is one year after June 12, 2019, where citizens protested outside the Legislative Council to oppose the second reading of the Extradition Bill and were later suppressed by violent police operation.
On the same day one year after, the government gazetted the equally controversial Anthem Law and Beijing has passed plans to impose the even more draconian National Security Law.
