    As heartbreaking it is to say this, I have the impression that Hong Kong hasn’t had its own law for roughly five years. Isn’t this really mainland China’s law?

    I suppose the people writing the headline have little choice but to go along with Beijing’s way of framing and phrasing things, no matter how misleading it might be.

      The sycophants that help the CCP still are Hong Kongers, like it or not. And it was passed in Hong Kong by Hong Kong legislators. Just that it’s not been done so democratically.

    Well, it took about 5 times longer to go full CCP than I thought from handover, but it’s well down that sewage drain now.
