Hong Kong: China passes controversial security law

The video discusses the National Security Law passed in Hong Kong, granting the government extensive powers. Critics fear it will undermine Hong Kong's freedoms and autonomy. The law introduces new crimes like subversion and collusion with foreign entities, with penalties up to life imprisonment. It also allows Hong Kong's chief executive to appoint judges for national security cases, while Beijing can interpret laws. This raises concerns about judicial independence. Following the law's passage, activist Joshua Wong left Demo Sisto, which later disbanded.
