Pro-Beijing Politician: Waving national flags of other countries is illegal under the National Security Law

The PRC's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress will meet for three consecutive days starting Sunday on June 28. According to pro-Beijing politians, it is expected that the National Security Law will be tabled and endorsed in the meetings.

Beijing loyalist and Hong Kong representative attending the meeting Yip Kwok-him said that the finalised draft remained unknown at the moment. According to existing draft, waving national flags of the United Kingdom, the United States of America or Hong Kong would be deemed illegal under the National Security Law.

Yip stressed that if the Law cannot deal with these circumstances, there is no practical effect, citing the controversial Article 23 as only a "toothless tiger". Yip pointed out that once when the National Security Law is in force, it would be an obvious breach for anyone lobby for foreign country to impose sanctions on Hong Kong.

"This Law shall apply to offences [under this Law committed against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region] #FromOutsideTheRegion [by a person who is] #NotAPermanentResidentOfTheRegion."

📍Yesterday, a Hongkonger was arrested for holding "the national flag of the Republic of China🇹🇼".

Man Visited by PRC Official in Mediatized 'Home Visit' Turns Out to Be Pro-Beijing "National Flag- Bearer"

In a published statement from the Hong Kong Liaison Office on October 1st, 2020, it was mentioned that director Luo Huining visited grassroots in Hong Kong. One of the citizens interviewed was found to be a pro-China supporter who has been interviewed by multiple pro-beijing media. The man is called Xu Tianmin.

Xu, who has been living in Hong Kong for 7 years, was interviewed by China's Beijing Times during the flag-raising ceremony on New Year's Day. According to China-owned Wen Wei Po, Xu has been contacting members in the “Love China, Love Hong Kong” page, and became the China national flag-bearer. Xu also cleaned up pro-democracy Lennon walls and barricades from time to time.

A photo of Xu tearing off pro-democracy posters in a tunnel at Tai Po was shown in the article. Xu also indicated that he had so far spent more than 100k HKD for cleaning up pro-democracy slogans and posters on the streets until the pandemic broke out. In his bag, he had always carried a can of spray paint and a Chinese national flag.

#StreetFighterII in #NintendoSwitch replaces the flag of Hong Kong game character with China's Emblem

#Capcom has recently released a video game Capcom Arcade Stadium in #NintendoSwitch, which contains 32 classic games such as Street Fighter II: Turbo.

A Japanese user recently noticed that the flag of a Hong Kong game character, Fei Long, was changed to the flag of the People's Republic of China and shared the photo on Twitter.

The photo has caused some heated debates, and some criticised that the company's political correctness has gone too far.

"Fei Long" was a game character in Street Fighter II in reference to Bruce Lee. In the game, although his representing country was shown as Hong Kong, the national flag beside it was the flag of China.

Some users pointed out that it was not the first time Capcom has replaced Hong Kong’s flag in its games. Since 2018, Fei Long’s representing country flag in Street Fighter II in arcade game version has been replaced from the British Hong Kong flag (Dragon and Lion flag) to the regional flag of Hong Kong in order to “follow the trend”.
