3/11
Aside from one abstention, China’s parliamentary body unanimously approved new laws, making the only people allowed to govern Hong Kong must be patriotic, aka people they approve of governing Hong Kong. This amends Hong Kong’s mini constitution, the basic law, and the electoral system to ensure that people who oppose the communist party are not allowed to sit in the city’s parliament. Dominic Raab, the UK’s foreign minister, criticized the move almost immediately. His claims of hollowing out democratic debate in Hong Kong, and undermining confidence and trust in China, seem to be what most people are thinking.
