"HONG KONG/BEIJING (Reuters) - Beijing on Tuesday unveiled new national security laws for Hong Kong that will punish crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces [as predicted by SubMatts on June 5, 2020] with up to life in prison, heralding a more authoritarian era for China’s freest city.
... [the new laws] entered into force at 11 p.m. (1500 GMT) on June 30.
... In their most severe form, crimes will be punishable with life in prison. Punishments otherwise largely go up to 10 years.
... According to the law, a new national security agency [no doubt mainly staffed by China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) already present covertly in HK] will be set up for the first time in Hong Kong and will not be under the jurisdiction of the local government. Authorities can carry out surveillance and wire-tap people suspected of endangering national security, it said.
Those asking foreign countries to sanction, blockade or take other hostile action against Hong Kong or China could be guilty of colluding with foreign forces.
... Authorities shall take necessary measures to strengthen the management and servicing of foreign countries’ and international organisations’ branches in Hong Kong, as well as foreign media and NGOs in the city, the law says." [SubMatts pointed to the US Consulate General in Hong Kong on June 8, 2020].
