Five years after Hong Kong saw what's recognized as likely the biggest pro-democracy, anti-China protests in its history, dissent in this city of more than seven million is quelled, after Beijing and Hong Kong rammed through controversial national security laws that make any action or word critical of the government potentially punishable by life in prison. Correspondent Ramy Inocencio talks with observers who describe Hong Kong today as a police state; and with American diplomat Gregory May, who discusses the effect the new laws have had on free expression.

Anyone who didn't see this coming when the UK turned Hong Kong over to China was a fool...

"Some"?! It's another CCP prison. Don't forget what the CCP has done to HK.

My grandmother escaped the horrors of Chinese communism by fleeing to Hong Kong. So tragic to see this beacon of liberty extinguished.

All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. The world and Britain just let it happen.

Now, it's hard for Foreign investors and banks to invest Hong Kong and China business and industries. The Hong Kong National Security Law, enacted in June 2020, criminalizes secession, subversion, terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces. It has curtailed freedoms of speech, press, and assembly in Hong Kong. In response, the U.S. Treasury has sanctioned several Hong Kong and Chinese officials, freezing assets and restricting business with them. These sanctions and the law's provisions have increased investment risks and operational uncertainties for foreign businesses in Hong Kong. Article 38 of the law extends its reach to offenses committed outside Hong Kong, raising concerns about legal liabilities for foreign nationals. The law and sanctions have strained diplomatic relations, complicating the investment climate in Hong Kong.

Why is everyone condemning Israel, but blatantly ignoring China?
