If you don't break the law, then what are you afraid of? If you went to Saudi Arabia or the UAE for example, you would also abide by local laws. Why can't you respect China's laws? Of is China just beneath you?

Subject: Sadness, Shame and Sorrow of a Hero
“Hi Sophie, Sweetie, there is something I must tell you before I go.”
“Yes, Pop. What is it?”
“It’s my greatest Sadness, Shame and Sorrow.”
Global Warning
Imagine there is an app for a referendum in Australia on Global Warming.
Unlike Brexit, the results of this referendum will be definitive and effective. Why? Because it is digital. How?
1) The duration of this referendum is four weeks.
2) The first two weeks are for those who have strong views; the last two are for those who don’t. The results are constantly updated, hour by hour, for all to see.
3) People can change the way they vote at any time.
The app can also help the people of Hong Kong to elect a leader with a mandate - not from God or Xi - after the stepping down of a Peking Duck, Peking Chick, Peking Pig, Peking Dog, Peking Silk Worm … and Peking Sucker (of Ass Hole of Winnie the Pooh).
“Well, get on with it then”.
Above is dedicated to the Sadness, Shame and Sorrow of another Hero from China - The Tankman.

Have you even read the bill that was proposed? It clearly says that only major crimes and under the authority of a Hong Kong judge that an extradition will take place, and it is case by case process. It is a fair law. It has more to do with the perception of China by the opposition of the bill.
