Hong Kong, the territory’s semi-autonomous from China, is now under a strict control and hard of beijing. The tensions have gone far beyond the domestic arena of the chinese and the future of Hong Kong, has already provoked a major international crisis, diplomatic for the time being, but until when.
The chinese authorities suggested to have taken things in hand to allow Hong Kong, the territory’s semi-autonomous, to find calm and peace. For Westerners, but also for hong Kong, Beijing has shown its true face, that of a totalitarian country. Since the beginning of the month of July, the homeland security act, passed by Beijing, focusing all the criticism.
A law repressive denounced by citizens and the western countries
Hong Kong people denounce this act of liberticide, allowing the forces of order and security (now residing in Hong Kong) to be able to order searches, but also seizures outside of any of the rules of control, and this, therefore, that there are ” exceptional circumstances “.
Surveillance of citizens is deployed on a large scale, and even the giants of the web, such as Google, Twitter and Facebook, could be induced to leave the territory. The international community condemns harshly the drift totalitarian and authoritarian China vis-à-vis the former british colony.
London, a new promised land for hong Kong people ?
More relevant still, the british are considering a response to the height of the bravado of china. The prime minister, Boris Johnson, said, studied the implementation of a ” path to british citizenship “. Allow hong Kong people who wish to take refuge in Britain irritates me to the highest point the chinese government.
The tensions crystallize, and the drifts are more numerous. The change of position of the british government as to the chinese company Huawei (London is now opposed to the allocation of the network 5G to a chinese company) is considered by Beijing as a measure of intimidation, and China threatening to retaliate in turn.
The fate of Hong Kong today is no longer a problem only chinese, as the international impact seem to be unimaginable, and this escalation is a source of concern for the Westerners.
