3/ However, the law will profoundly erode the city’s firewalls, especially when a Beijing-led secret police branch is to be set up, & when Beijing’s board definition of national security is imposed. China treated stock markets & flow of capital as part of its national security.

4/ The proposed law is the stepping stone for its future intervention. In order to protect the business interest in the city, especially those choosing Hong Kong as the regional headquarters, it is crucial for companies to voice out and oppose the passing of the law.

5/ To maintain the autonomy status of HK is the only way to maintain business interest. Therefore, I call upon world leaders jointly express opposition against this law. Since the security law is hugely controversial, it can't be full legislative scrutiny & public consultation.

In fact, this guyis a pro-Beijing lawyer and provoked the protestors. The protestors couldn’t suppress their anger to beat this pro-Beijing lawyer because the totalitarian regime is violating the freedom of HK. I am so sad that this news was always used as CCP propaganda.
