That should do wonders for tourism.

Why not shut off all trade and expel all of their diplomats?

My brother went to HK before England lost the lease and China took over.

He said it wasn’t much different before. Chinese everywhere.

Whoa. My former coworker and good friend has been in HK since November. He says his computer or phone won’t connect to the internet. He’s there visiting his girlfriend, crazy as that sounds. And he lives here in Florida.

If you are traveling anywhere outside of the US, it is wise to get a second phone with minimal personal information on it.

And know the rules before you go there.

Does that mean they have declared allegiance to China?

We have been in HK and China for the last 9 days. They’ve not asked us for this.

The law only applies if you are accused of a crime.

Many places have similar laws. I would bet that the UK and most places in Europe do then same thing. That doesn’t mean I like it, but this isn’t an unusual law.

You’re spied upon enough in the US - overseas it’s an order of magnitude greater. Leave your stuff behind and get a burner.

This is a misdirection. They already have all your information - because Google and Microsoft gave it to them in exchange for doing business there.

They should do that to their citizens over here, too.

This should be applied to Chinese students in the USA too. Jail them longer than Chinese jail terms and make their families feed them, or no food.

Good to know! Will therefore never go through there, even in transit.

Make sure to only bring a burner phone if you have to travel to Hong Kong.

Even when I travel in America, outside my
home state I get a “burner” phone that
I toss after my trip.
For people that I want to contact me I give my
home phone and tell them to leave a message.
I’ll get it. For everybody else I give the
Burner number. Burner phones are cheap,
get an international sim card or do Esim.
, and subscribe to an international
service provider.
