#17. Most Moslem countries joined in supporting the Red Chinese oppression in Hong Kong. So did many black Africa/heavily Moslem dominated countries, Red Chinese dominated countries, Communist and once communist dominated countries, and a few surprises (Antigua & Barbuda, wonder if there is any Red Chinese financial presence there; Palestine the non-existent country, basically a police-state geographical configuration of terrorists organizations; what the hell is Papua New Guinea doing on this list?: Suriname, though it is now leftist; etc.

the Cuban statement said the law was beneficial for Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability...

Well by golly that settles it then. If there was ever a country that's an expert on prosperity and stability it's Cuba.

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute explained:

The law gives police wide powers to conduct searches, eavesdropping and surveillance without court oversight and to order people to turn over their electronic communications, and it appears to suggest that Internet service providers must cooperate with probes. The law compels suspects to “answer questions” and turn over information, although Hong Kong law gives people a right to stay silent.
