BEIJING THREATENS HONG KONG'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Northeast Today|June, 2020
Owing to a separate administrative system, Hong Kong has a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive, legislative and independent judicial power. Unlike Mainland China it exercises freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. However, the freedom has been threatened by the Red Dragon after it announced the imposition of a new national security law in Hong Kong. The law is likely to take effect later this year and change the nature of rights and freedoms for the Hongkongers. The move has ignited massive protest against Chinese dictatorship and has raised global concern. Mumeninaz Zaman reports
BEIJING THREATENS HONG KONG'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH

One Nation, Two System

Hong Kong was a part of the United Kingdom for more than 150 years. In 1997 it was returned to the Chinese and a Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed while adopting a mini constitution‘Basic Law’. According to the treaty Hong Kong will retain its capitalist economic system and own currency, legal system, legislative system, free speech and freedom of the press unlike that of mainland China. It was guaranteed a special administrative region (SAR) of China for 50 years, i.e set to expire on 2047. Until then Hong Kong will run under the principles of ‘one nation, two system’ which means while becoming a part of one countryChina, Hong Kong would enjoy autonomous privileges.
