WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday the new security law China has imposed on Hong Kong was an affront to all nations and Washington would continue to implement President Donald Trump's directive to end the territory's special status.

Pompeo told a news briefing the United States was deeply concerned about the safety of everyone in Hong Kong and said Article 38 of the law passed on Tuesday purported to apply to offenses committed outside Hong Kong and likely included Americans.

"This is outrageous and an affront to all nations," he said.

This ChiCom law says anyone anywhere that bad mouths the ChiComs is guilty.

Just wait for Biden and the UN to start enforcing it if Biden and his deep state goons were to win.

"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:"

It would apply.

Let me be first in line...F U China

Donald Clarke, a China expert at George Washington University in the United States, said it appeared to claim "extraterritorial jurisdiction over every person on the planet."

Well I suppose they had better hustle their butts right on over here and enforce it so they can see what a great idea it is.

China wanted Hong Kong because it had emerged as a giant global financial center. Their closed communist society prevented them from building such a powerhouse internally but Hong Kong was isolated and so they could let it run and deliver them money, power, and influence. But they are in the process of killing the golden goose. The more ‘actually communist China’ they turn Hong Kong into, the less of a financial powerhouse it will become.

Let’s just say that I’m no longer going back to China after everything I’ve said about Winnie and his minions in here.

From what I’ve heard on this ‘law’, You and I and Everyone on FR can be charged even if we’ve never set foot on Chinese soil...................

Some very interesting provisions of this new law in its scope of “illegal activity."

Article 29 a person who requests a foreign country or an institution, organisation or individual outside the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of the People’s Republic of China, or conspires with a foreign country or an institution, organisation or individual outside China…...imposing sanctions or blockade, or engaging in other hostile activities against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or the People’s Republic of China.

and

Article 38 This Law shall apply to offences under this Law committed against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region from outside the Region by a person who is not a permanent resident of the Region

" (Freepers are criminals under this law)"

We'll certainly be short-time criminals under an similar law shortly after January 23, 2021 if 30-million migrant invaders are permitted to vote in addition to the 65.6-million U.S. communists who voted for hitlary in the last election...

So, is it illegal to voice my displeasure with China by refusing to buy Chinee products? I have already not bought something at Costco and Wal-Mart that were made my Chinaman’s.

[Cold Heart]

This may well cause Hong Kong to collapse.

Douglas MacArthur wanted to nuke the Chi-Coms. Too bad we did not follow his advice.

When the chi-Coms pull their heads out of their own posteriors somebody wake me up.
