RSers living in HK posting anti-China stuff should watch out from now on

:heckno::heckno:

Anyways I wonder what happens now if we go back to HK and they check our phone and find out we posted/comment something negative about the HK/China gov online/fb/IG/reddit. Will we be deny entry/lock up in jail because of this new security law like in China? Will we have to use a dummy phone with only basic apps (google service, what's app, wechat) install only?

Also what happens to all the people who been protesting since last year? Will they get arrested due to the security law now? Will the seek refugee status from US/Canada/UK?

Hey look happyslip's wife let him back on RS

HKers are granted refugee status in the US


UK is also setting up to allow BNO passports to give full residency

Taiwan is also taking in refugees

Japan says they will take the bankers

Also it doesn't matter if you break this law outside Hong Kong. If you do something outside HK, then come here, you will be arrested

Thats pretty fucking bullshit.

This. Are you worried at all, Skinny?

You're pretty vocal over here, which is great, but I'm wondering if you're putting yourself at risk?

I've never advocated for anything against CCP, including sedition, secession, or anything like that. I've only reported on what HK people are doing and saying, and also my own observations of what I think is happening. I'm not actually doing anything, or threatening anything, or inciting others to do so.

Based on what I can tell, I'm not breaking any of these laws

But who knows? :heckno:

I'm not that worried about myself personally, more that HK is dead. I knew that was always going to happen, which is part of why I wanted to live here starting in the early 2000s. But I'd thought I'd be in my 60's by then, and retired living somewhere else in the world (preferably with a beach)

BTW this is the best explanation of it that I've seen so far. It's tough because it's so vaguely worded that you can't REALLY tell what can be considered a crime or a "serious" crime.

Thats pretty fucking bullshit.

The fact that Ur Canadian, and vocal (online anyway) they might frown upon it, especially since they're grumpy with Canada rn

That's how it is with any country, u break the countries laws outside of the country, come home, u may be arrested for it

Like those sex tourists from Canada that committed crimes abroad

This applies to non residents though

You could never set foot in HK all your life, but commit these crimes from home, and when you get here you can be arrested.

Here's another breakdown of the law (thread)


And another

rip HK

Anyone knows why there were so little protest over this in HK?

The protest was so intense last year over the extradition bill...which seems like a slap in the wrist vs death penalty

From what I've seen isn't that alone enough to tick off the CCP?

Wow. HK really is dead. Why would any company choose to HQ in HK now? :heckno:

RIP me then I guess

demosisto bunch of poosies

why the hell would anyone protest now? the law is in effect already, China can come pick you up and jail you for life

I don't think they're going to stop

Canada: "You may be at increased risk of arbitrary detention on national security grounds and possible extradition to mainland China"

Interesting criteria for Japan

Yup, everyone is doing it for humanitarian reasons, Japan just wants Tokyo to be the one to replace Hong Kong as the financial hub of Asia (most assume it will be Singapore I think)

It's nothing official yet anyway

is there gonna be a poll in hk:

1. 2014/2019 protests backfired, we lost a very basic freedom

2. protests were in vain, beijing was gonna crackdown anyways

3. at least we fought, and fought hard

sounds dramatic but this feels a bit like fall of saigon

what was anticipated to happen over 10-20 years seem to have changed in mere months
