The Hong Kong version of the National Security Law is scheduled to be implemented on July 1st. It is aimed at the division of the country, subverting the state power, terrorist activities, and colluding with foreign or overseas forces. The maximum punishment is lifelong imprisonment.Although there is no traceable period, it has caused the democratic people in Hong Kong to be in danger.In the future, how the institutions established by the mainland in Hong Kong will exercise jurisdiction over the hazards of national security crimes, and whether they will send troops to suppress the demonstration of demonstrations, which is related to the future of Hong Kong and the well -being of residents.
The latest development of the situation in Hong Kong is shocking, but it is not surprising.Although US President Trump, Secretary of State Pompeo and Congress have repeatedly called on Beijing to respect the basic principles of the Basic Law and the Hong Kong people's governance of Hong Kong, otherwise they will face US sanctions.Tsai Ing -wen decided to complete the Hong Kong issue before the election of the Hong Kong Legislative Assembly in September in Hong Kong, Hong Kong today, and tomorrow.

In addition, Hong Kong's defense technology demand is very low.Hong Kong Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e responded toughly. It is expected that sanctions from the United States are expected to have little impact.

The tough methods of mainland China will harm its reputation. However, after the legislative procedures are completed effective and peacefully, Western countries can only recognize the existing facts, but will help the mainland's momentum. In the future, it will be harder and confident in issues such as the South China Sea and Taiwan.The DPP government supported anti -repair last year, but accelerated the Hong Kong Change Bureau.
