What is in the new bill?​

The 2024 version of Article 23 allows for closed-door trials and gives the police rights to detain suspects for up to two weeks without charge.
The city's leader will also be given authority to ban organisations and companies from operating in Hong Kong, should they be found "working for foreign forces".
The draft bill expands on the Beijing-imposed national security law, which already criminalises secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces. Here are some of the new offences it covers.

• Theft of state secrets and espionage: The bill has a broad definition of "state secrets". It includes "major policy decisions", "economic or social development" and Hong Kong's "external affairs", among other things. The wording in this section of the bill is almost identical to China's state secrets law, which Beijing is looking to broaden.
• Sabotage endangering national security: This is a new offence that targets people who endanger national security either intentionally or by "being reckless". It also wants to criminalise computer-related acts that harm national security. Doxxing - the malicious act of publishing people's personal information online - of police officers was cited in the consultation paper as a possible example of such an offence.
• External interference: This new offence will deal with acts of collaborating with "external forces" to influence or interfere with national and local authorities. Examples include receiving financial support or direction from these "external forces", which could include foreign governments, political organisations or individuals.
• Insurrection: This will deal with acts such as assisting an armed force - or the organisation to which the force belongs - in an armed conflict against China. Authorities have repeatedly cited unrest due to the months-long pro-democracy protests in 2019 as grounds for legislating this new offence.
• Treason: In addition to treason, which includes offences such as levying war against China, the new bill seeks to criminalise unauthorised military drilling and "misprision of treason", committed by someone who has knowledge of treason but does not report it.

Those found guilty of treason, insurrection, inciting a member of the Chinese army to mutiny, or colluding with an external force to damage or weaken public infrastructure could be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Once passed, Article 23 will be enshrined in a document called the Basic Law, Hong Kong's mini constitution which sets out the structure of governance for the territory.

50 years no change …

五大诉求，缺一不可（英语：Five demands, not one less) are the reason for the change

I remember the days of passionate hkers... that's why I believe wuhan virus is to stop the protest

And this happen not because of the proposed law called the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance amendment bill aka extradition bill?

 

[enigmastar]

Lol who will trust the chinese. Its 50yrs many change.

The actual meaning of the five major demands is no different from seeking independence.
Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also agrees with this view. He believes that the meaning of the “five major demands” is to humiliate and overthrow the SAR government.

Without CCP trying to meddle with the 50 years promise using the extradition bill the protestors wouldn’t have any excuse to come to this desperate extend.

 

[XiaoDangDan]

With that can say 88 to Hong Kong and their stock market

 

[Shion]

not yet 2047 but already full control

 

[hound297]

not yet 2047 but already full control

All because of 1 man's ego and bid to secure power. Throw all the predecessor's plans into the drain.

 

[PaboJames]

don't really understand the concern. We also have our own internal security act, why they cannot have their own
