DESCRIPTION:

In 2020, China implemented a new national security law in Hong Kong that effectively revoked the region's autonomy while granting the Chinese government broad powers to crack down on any activity deemed a threat to national security, including peaceful protests and dissent.

Many in Hong Kong and the international community have criticized the national security law for its potential to undermine Hong Kong's autonomy and erode the civil liberties guaranteed under the "one country, two systems" policy. This policy began when Hong Kong was returned to China from British rule in 1997 and aimed to ensure that Hong Kong would retain a high degree of autonomy and preserve its own legal and economic systems for 50 years.

In addition to the national security law, the Chinese government implemented additional policies and practices that have raised concerns about Hong Kong's autonomy. For example, China disqualified pro-democracy lawmakers from participating in the Hong Kong legislature, delayed local elections, and increased pressure on media outlets critical of the Chinese government.

These actions have led to protests and international condemnation. Critics argue that China's efforts attempt to quash dissent and undermine Hong Kong's autonomy. In contrast, supporters of China's actions argue they are necessary to maintain stability and national security. To this day, the situation in Hong Kong remains highly contentious and uncertain.
