US to take big action on China over Hong Kong says President Trump
China is once again the target of criticism due to Coronavirus crisis worldwide. China, which asserted its dominance over Hong Kong, has introduced a new law, which has been named the National Security Act. This law is being widely opposed in Hong Kong and now US President Donald Trump has also given a statement about it.
US President Donald Trump said in a press conference at the White House the previous day, “What China is doing in Hong Kong is not right, we will take a decision soon.”
Donald Trump said that you will hear about this soon, maybe this week. We will answer very powerfully. It is worth noting that Donald Trump has already been angry with China on the Coronavirus, he has held China responsible for the Coronavirus outbreak, while at the same time he has also blamed the nation for trying to defeat him in the upcoming elections in the US.
What is happening in Hong Kong?
The Communist Party Parliament is going on in China at this time, where decisions related to China are being discussed. Meanwhile, the National Security Act to be brought to Hong Kong was discussed and it was announced that it would be implemented within a month.
Historical protests against this law have been taking place on the streets of Hong Kong since last year, which are being watched by the whole world.
Under this law, if a person from Hong Kong commits a crime in China, he can be extradited for investigation. Earlier this bill did not have this provision, earlier it was such that if someone commits an offense then there was no treaty to extradite him to any other country. But the bill was amended and treaties were signed with several countries. Which includes places like China, Taiwan, Macau.
Apart from this, if a person tamper with national symbols, insult the anthem or do anything that the administration finds anti-national, then he can be jailed for three years. In Hong Kong, this law is being called a violation of democracy.
