Hong Kong’s reality under new national security law

ABC News’ Brittyn Clennett reports on the changes facing Hong Kong residents, and what they’re trying to do in the face of a new law that critics say targets protesters.

[Jesus.loves.you.]

I live in Hong Kong. These US mainstream media have never reported the truth about Hong Kong. More than 2 millions Hong Kong people signed the most recent petition in support of the implementation of the Security Law. I witnessed Hong Kong people physically signed the petition 2 blocks from where I live. So, it was real !

As a HKer, I fully support National Security Law and Hong Kong Police Force. All rioters and terrorists should be arrested and put in jail for they have been destroying Hong Kong for a year. Many innocent civilians were attacked and killed by the rioters. 5 eyes countries have no right to meddle China and Hong Kong internal affairs unless they withdraw all their own national security law!!

I ONCE HEARD A GREAT MAN SAY::: FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES BUT NEVER FORGET THEIR NAMES.

We don't have room to complain now that Federal police are arresting americans in the streets.

Today in July 2020, the streets of Hong Kong and US seem to switch places. Good or bad is up to debate, it's just amazing that a piece of paper stopped the violent protest so quickly.

Western press conveniently omitted reporting the petition signed by 3m in HK who are for the NSL. Clearly their narrative is not in the interest of HK people.

they give security. than they want to take freedom.. remember that...

The CCP has fully mobilised the soldiers of the 50 Cent Army in the comments section of this video.

All citizen of the free world must take action to stop CCP agression act against humanity.

Message from Hong Kong

[EH-ryls]

As a Hong Kong resident, I would ask all Western countries (led by US and the UK) who have been meddling in Hong Kong's internal affairs out of their own interests under the false and hypocritical banner of freedom and democracy assisted by biased and selective reporting of the mainstream news media in the West (BBC and CNN included) to go mind your own business. The majority of Hong Kong people welcome the new national security law and cannot wait for it to be implemented and enforced in Hong Kong.

[Zhengwenbo]

I imagine that Hongkongers elected every Governor of Hong Kong before 1997 until the hangover.

[kifacorea]

To be fair the "west" censors plenty as well

[zjcffqe]

The Hong Kong people under British Rule never had democracy. The Hong Kong People under China rule will never have democracy either. However, here is the Hong Kong People want a different system and now is the time to make that happen. If they want democracy, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to commit to that regardless what happened in the past.

As an overseas Chinese from mainland, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Hong Kong. You may fail, but you put up a good fight, and made us proud. I hope our friends in Taiwan, especially the KMT party, can now see the true color of CCP.

[yoko]

Hong Kong people are amazing! Don’t give up the fight!

#FreedomForScotland #FreedomForCalifornia #FreedomForQuebec #FreedomForCatalonia #FreedomForEuskadi. Europe and America are doing the same that China, against Hong Kong and Taiwan, opressing this regions that wanna be independent nations

[해운대구랄뚜기]

The dark ages of Hongkong have begun
RIP Hongkong

[ligerdave]

Funny when they are freely speaking in front of the cam that they don’t have freedom. What a paradox
