China New security law spells death knell for Hong kong



New National Security Law Hong kong and Mainland China
  • China has introduced a new national security law for Hong Kong.
  • China's national security law for Hong Kong will fundamentally change the territory's legal system.
  • It introduces new crimes with severe penalties - up to life in prison - and allows mainland security personnel to legally operate in Hong Kong with impunity.
  • Article 29 is perhaps an example of this broad wording.
  • It states that anyone who conspires with foreigners to provoke "hatred" of the Chinese government, or the authorities in Hong Kong, could have committed a criminal offence.
  • Trials can be held in secret (Article 41) and without a jury (Article 46). Judges can be handpicked (Article 44) by Hong Kong's chief executive, who is answerable directly to Beijing.
  • The law also reverses a presumption that suspects will be granted bail (Article 42).
  • That same provision also appears to suggest there is no time limit on how long suspects can be held. It says only that cases should be handled in a "timely manner".
  • Entire cases - from investigation to judgement to punishment - can be simply handed over to the mainland authorities (Article 56).
  • Foreign nationals outside of Hong Kong face prosecution under the law (Article 38).
  • Article 60 makes it clear that anyone who works there does not have to abide by Hong Kong's laws. They shall not be subject to "inspection, search or detention". "They are untouchable."
It marked new era of colonization and imperialism . Tibet, Hong Kong, South east Asia, India -China border , Taiwan for that matter is the true example emerging power of China. World has just given up, we are captive and seems surrendered. No human rights, no peace treaty or United nation organisation has any role to play however it just state China is super power and even United state is just a puppet and hand-cuffed . The reason is as simple when the world economy has flourished with China with the same nation giving a world pandemic disease. It took all possible actions to capitalist and capture and grow when the world is struggling to cope up to contained busy enough to survive. China took complete opportunity of the circumstances to gather as much resource it can. China shown its power militarily but also made world realize that so much they now dependent on China for everything. Whether it is funding WHO or for that matter consolidating its power strategically by partnering and investing on countries that can fetch benefit in a long run giving tough challenge to its opponent. So far China played well.

What France, United State, UK , ANZ can do ?
A big question? Manufacturing sector and technology is so much concentrated in China. These countries are more to rely on China for their own sake and development. Time has come now for them to gradually remove these dependencies. Revisit its business operations, supply chain, investments, market, trade , telecommunications. Make a smart move. The only way to overcome or withstand China right now is to break its economy. 

Once upon a time, India seems to look powerful and emerging economy. But its democratic setup is at peril. It is just a showcase, even its descent are not safe anyone. India policy maker more focus on increasing its own power at centre without giving much weight-age on global progression. Recently it easily gave up lands to China. Banning just 59 app including Tiktok is not going to impact China. It might seems welcoming move however digital ban would not impact much. There are so many investors of China in India since 2015 and yet India has play political card of 'Make in India' to fool its citizen but never came up with anything new. In fact the only profitable business flourish was Patanjali. Who know what Patanjali claim of product quality and sanity is actually source from Patanjali? Recently Patanjali went on news channel to promote its product called Coronil . They claim they have found the cure for Coronavirus /Covid19. Total sham! Like Hong Kong National security law, India indirectly apply the same law internally where human rights are abolished , protesters are on trial with supreme court passing verdicts in favor of ruling party. Quid-quo pro approach. Freedom of speech is at stake. News media is banned , its editors are threatened and put on trial. Government owned main stream media. Nobody ask question. In a way India's main fabric of being secular, liberal, democratic constitutional laws are at stake. Very tough time.

There were times big leaders where discussing Global warming. Now the whole paradigm shifts, national security will take centre stage and focus will be on just one thing. The fall of China imperialism.

Hope China is not making mistake this time. Looks like Hitler uprising once again.
