In the end the CPC will get all or most of what they intend for HK, and the residues later on, through dogged persistence, by stealth, piecemeal, disregarding agreements, and making it near on impossible and impractical for their domestic and intl opponents to parry in so many areas simultaneously; like that game children play called boring adults silly until they get what they want, except on a much grander scale.
I saw some footage of the smallish protest yesterday, not very impressive. The joke was, a number of them were calling for HK independence!
Those idiots have absolutely no clue- the very Last thing HK people want is independence from China! HK depends upon China for it's existence, without China there is no HK. It's a shame China can't pull a Vlad on them really- go ahead, call a Referendum. If a simple majority votes to secede, you've got your independence. With it obviously goes your free trade port status, your offshore financial centre status, and your privileged entry to China status. Oh, but I'm sure amerka will bail you out.
Numbskulls. But of course, it will never happen- the motion would be blown out of the water.
What HK people want, and benefit from, is the best of both worlds- privileged status while trading with the Mainland, while enjoying a good deal more rights and privileges (and money) than mainlanders. It's a fine line, but continued stupid action from those numpties will only draw HK closer to the Chinese fold and diminish their privileges= which many Chinese people already resent. Be careful what you ask for, eejuts.

It's like you are chatting to your mate about a game you've just watched and some fat bird comes over and says "What does offside mean".
That's HooHoo.
No need to. A video, in Chinese, with English subtitles has been published.
Seven articles of proposed national security legislation - Chinadaily.com.cn
And how many times does it include some inane phrase like "the glorious motherland" ?
There is plenty of decent commentary in the SCMP, HK still has a relatively free press.
So it seems the chinky stooge - picked by the chinkies and not the people of Hong Kong - will be asked to railroad this through without the approval of parliament. Proof that the chinkies have no intention of honouring the Agreement.
Hong Kong security law: What is it and is it worrying? - BBC NewsSo can China just push this through?
The Basic Law says Chinese laws can't be applied in Hong Kong unless they are listed in a section called Annex III - there are already a few listed there, mostly uncontroversial and around foreign policy.
These laws can be introduced by decree - which means they bypass the city's parliament and Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam has already said she will co-operate.
Critics say this amounts to a breach of that "one country, two systems" principle, which is so important to Hong Kong.
If there were sanctions associated with any national laws to be included in the annex, Professor Chan also says it should go through Hong Kong's parliament because the judicial systems are so different.
"The values underlying the criminal justice system in two jurisdictions are so different that any criminal law should only be enacted by HK and not by the mainland," he says.
What's more, the draft resolution in itself goes against Article 23, says Professor Chan - because that says Hong Kong must draft its own security law.
So that suggests the Hong Kong government still needs to do that - which could make things complicated.
