On June 30, 2020, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) imposed … well, a bunch of communist legislation against the people of Hong Kong. Known colloquially as the “national security law,” this legislation went into effect immediately and has severely curtailed the fundamental rights of Hong Kongers over the last 12 months.
The national security law is composed of 66 total articles, which vaguely define various offenses, such as “subversion” (undermining the power or authority of the central government) and “terrorism” (using violence or intimidation against people). It was also drafted entirely in secret, and even Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam was shut out of Beijing’s legislative process.
