An activist living in the United States, who was reportedly wanted by Hong Kong police for breaching the National Security Act, said he was a citizen of the United States. The law says that acts other than Hong Kong citizens conducted abroad will also be subject to crackdowns, and it is expected that the US government will intensify the reaction.
According to Hong Kong media sources, Hong Kong police have wanted 6 activists from Hong Kong, such as those in the United Kingdom and the United States, for violating the National Security Act.
Among them, Mr. Zhu Makimin, who works in the United States, announced his comment on SNS and made clear that he was a 25-year-old American citizen living in the United States. “The police in Hong Kong lobbyed the government of his country. It may be the first non-Chinese target to target Americans who have done this. No matter who you are, you can be a target."
Last year, Zhu launched a civic organization in the United States and worked on the US government to impose sanctions on China.
Mr. Zhu said in the news that he was wanted, and it is not clear what kind of action was the problem.
The National Security Act of Hong Kong is subject to crackdown on acts performed by people other than Hong Kong citizens abroad, and it is expected that the US government will intensify the reaction in this case.
