[Eyes and ears everywhere, both in #Hongkong and overseas]
1. Four months after #nationalsecuritylaw has become effective, #hkpolice plans to launch a new national security hotline to gather intelligence from the public via SMS, #WeChat and #Line.https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3107489/hong-kong-police-launch-national-security-hotline …
2. As the law covers foreign nationals, overseas behaviours & speeches, the new hotline will be a threat to foreign investors & ex-pats. No matter where you're, your private conversations, business chats, social media posts or school lectures can be reported via this new hotline.
3. By putting “eyes and ears everywhere”, the hotline can also be used for business retaliation, by encouraging citizens snitching on each other & cooking up charges against business competitors, just like what happened during #China’s #CulturalRevolution.https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-sign-of-resistance-chinese-balk-at-using-apps-to-snitch-on-neighbors-1514566110 …
4. Even now, teachers in China are reprimanded after students report them for questioning the governance of #Xijinping during lectures.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/01/world/asia/china-student-informers.html …
