▲ Police officers battling protests against Hong Kong Security Law


The Chinese National People's Congress (Chonin University) is expected to pass the'Hong Kong National Security Act' (Hong Kong Security Act) on the 30th, according to Hong Kong media.

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Myeongbo Hong Kong on the 29th, the Chinese National University of Commerce's Commerce Committee held the meeting the day before with the chairman of the Vice President of the Republic of Korea, Rijan Su, to discuss the draft Hong Kong Security Law.

The NPC is expected to pass the Hong Kong Security Law on the 30th, and immediately after the passage, the Hong Kong government is expected to insert and enforce the law into the Hong Kong Substitution Basic Law.

In this case, the Hong Kong Security Law is in full force from July 1st, the 23rd anniversary of Hong Kong's sovereignty return.

The Hong Kong Security Act contained prohibition and punishment of foreign forces and collusions, national division, national government overthrow, and acts of terrorism, and establishing an agency to implement them in Hong Kong.

"Hong Kong Security Law will not remain a'teethless tiger,' and the violator will be sentenced to the highest life sentence." Revealed.

Initially, reports were reported that the maximum sentence for violating the Hong Kong Security Law was 10 years imprisonment, but it seems that more severe sentences were applied during the deliberation process.

The maximum life sentence is stronger than the Macau National Security Law, which means that the mainland China sentence is applied.

Macau's National Security Law, enforced since 2009, has set the maximum sentence to 30 years.

Criminal law in mainland China has led to the death penalty for those who have led to national overthrow and national division.

"For example, there is a provision that national security laws in foreign countries such as the United States can face the highest life sentences," said Yeo Guo Chen, CEO of Hong Kong, a former University of Hong Kong.

Ye Guo-chen said that China would exercise its jurisdiction directly in relation to the Hong Kong Security Law for only three situations, but did not explain what the situation is.

If China exercises its jurisdiction directly, violators of the Hong Kong Security Law will be delivered to mainland China for trial.

It is also observed that the Hong Kong Security Act will be applied retroactively.

"The Hong Kong Security Act will not be applied retroactively, but when the prosecution of a person who violates the Hong Kong Security Act is prosecuted, we will be able to refer to the act before the law enforcement," he said.

In response, Hong Kong's opposition party criticized "if it is possible to use a post on Facebook to judge future sins, is this not a practical retrospective application?"

There was also a voice of criticism that the law was not disclosed until just before the Hong Kong Security Law passed.

Opposition politician Alan Lung said, "Isn't it true that Hong Kong's minister and the Attorney General did not see the bill in the day ahead of the passage?"

Senior Hong Kong officials struggled to defend the Hong Kong Security Law.

Hong Kong's Finance Minister Paul Chan said, "We are well prepared to meet the threat of US sanctions and prepare an emergency plan." Hong Kong's financial sector is supporting the Hong Kong Security Act and shows no signs of capital withdrawal. Revealed.
