No final de reuniões (separadas) por videoconferência com o primeiro-ministro chinês, Li Keqiang, e com o Presidente, Xi Jinping, os presidentes do Conselho, Charles Michel, e do executivo comunitário, Ursula von der Leyen, afirmaram numa conferência de imprensa conjunta que um dos quatro grandes temas abordados foi Hong Kong e direitos humanos, asseverando que alertaram Pequim para as "consequência muito negativas" que terá uma efetiva implementação da lei no território de Hong Kong.
"Fomos muito claros nas nossas conversas de que a imposição por Pequim de uma lei de segurança nacional em Hong Kong não está conforme com a lei básica de Hong Kong, nem com os compromissos internacionais da China. Isso foi muito claro. A lei de segurança nacional coloca seriamente em risco o princípio de «um país, dois sistemas», e o elevado grau de autonomia de Hong Kong, que desejamos ver continuar em vigor", afirmou Von der Leyen. https://www.noticiasaominuto.com/mundo/1514023/ue-garante-ter-sido-muito-clara-em-cimeira-com-china-sobre-hong-kong

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday the United States would in future treat Hong Kong as a Chinese city rather than an autonomous one to the extent that China treats the territory as a Chinese city. Pompeo told the online Copenhagen Democracy Summit that elections due to take place in Hong Kong in September would "tell us everything that we need to know about the Chinese Communist Party's intentions with respect to freedom in Hong Kong." He also said the United States was working its way through a decision-making process over who would be held accountable over curbs to Hong Kong's freedoms. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/pompeo-says-way-u.s.-treats-hong-kong-depends-on-how-china-does-2020-06-19-0

(New York) – China’s proposed national security law for Hong Kong is a devastating assault on human rights and should be abandoned, more than 86 civil society organizations groups said today in a letter to Li Zhanshu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPCSC).
“China should abandon this effort to impose a national security law on Hong Kong immediately,” said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch. “No government should invoke national security as a justification for repression.” https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/06/17/china-scrap-national-security-law-save-hong-kong-freedoms

China has agreed at a high-level meeting with the United States to work together on improving a relationship that has hit rock bottom, but despite the “constructive” talks, both sides stuck to their guns over key disputes, with the Chinese doubling down on a national security law for Hong Kong.At their meeting in Hawaii, the first icebreaker since ties sank to a historic low over the Covid-19 pandemic and other political issues, state leader Yang Jiechi told US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Beijing was determined to push ahead with the legislation in Hong Kong, regardless of Washington’s stiff opposition.

Britain, the co-signer of the Joint Declaration for Hong Kong’s handover, is arguably most entitled to denounce Beijing’s violation, which would give mandates to the United States to act. But Beijing is convinced that Britain, not as powerful as it used to be, will not make such a move. Simon Chen

While U.S. politicians from left to right are vocal against China, their ultimate goal, Beijing believes, is to win votes in the November election. They would hence avoid hurting the interest groups they represent and go easy on actions aiming to punish China, such as denying Hong Kong’s status as a separate customs territory, sanctioning Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, or escalating the trade war. Even though the Trump administration is ramping up the rhetoric to sanction China, protecting Hong Kong’s autonomy is not one of the United States’ core interests" Simon Chen

Também o académico Ieong Meng U, da Universidade de Macau, concorda que a nova legislação tem consequências, desde logo por ser gatilho para mais distúrbios sociais, que surgiram assim que foi anunciada. “Além disso, é bem possível que o Ocidente passe a considerar que Hong Kong — e, provavelmente, Macau — deixou de ser diferente da China continental e de gozar de um alto grau de autonomia”, acrescenta. Mas há mais, sublinha este investigador de assuntos políticos da China, Macau e Hong Kong. “A decisão de avançar com a lei será vista pela comunidade internacional como mais um exemplo da conhecida por wolf warrior diplomacy [diplomacia agressiva] chinesa, que mostra que o país está disposto a tudo para defender o que é para si primordial, como a segurança nacional”, sublinha. https://leitor.expresso.pt/semanario/semanario2484/html/primeiro-caderno/internacional/hong-kong-nunca-mais-sera-a-mesma

O primeiro-ministro Boris Johnson anunciou que dará a três milhões de habitantes de Hong Kong a hipótese de começar uma nova vida no Reino Unido, caso a China siga em frente com os planos de impor uma nova lei de segurança à ex-colónia britânica, noticia a ‘Bloomberg’. A intervenção do primeiro-ministro marca uma escalada na pressão de Londres sobre Pequim contra as propostas de uma lei que atenta contra os direitos e liberdades do povo de Hong Kong. “Muitas pessoas em Hong Kong temem pelo seu modo de vida, o qual a China prometeu defender, mas que está ameaçado”, escreveu Johnson num artigo publicado no jornal The Times of London. “Se a China justificar os medos destas pessoas, o Reino Unido não poderá, em sã consciência, encolher os ombros e ir embora; em vez disso, honraremos as nossas obrigações e forneceremos uma alternativa”, afirma ainda https://executivedigest.sapo.pt/boris-johnson-desafia-china-com-oferta-de-residencia-a-3-milhoes-de-cidadaos-de-hong-kong/

Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Canadá e Austrália acusaram ontem a China de violar as suas obrigações internacionais após a adopção pelo parlamento chinês de uma controversa lei sobre a segurança em Hong Kong, numa resposta aos protestos de 2019. “A decisão da China de impor a nova lei sobre a segurança em Hong Kong entra em contradição directa com as obrigações internacionais segundo os princípios da declaração conjunta assinada pela China e o Reino Unido, legalmente vinculativa e registada junto da ONU”, declararam os chefes da diplomacia dos quatro países em comunicado comum, no qual exprimem “profunda inquietação”

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said he will no longer consider Hong Kong as autonomous to China, a move that will strip the SAR of its special trade status under US law. For years, Hong Kong has acted as a middleman for transactions between China and the rest of the world.

JUSTIÇA

mai23 Hong Kong’s government has passed a law that allows authorities to ban foreign lawyers from working on national security cases, completing a months-long effort to block a UK lawyer from defending media mogul and activist Jimmy Lai. The amendment, which was passed unanimously by the Legislative Council on Thursday, gives the chief executive the power to veto any foreign lawyer from working on cases brought under the 2020 National Security Law (NSL). Lai, the founder of now defunct Apple Daily newspaper and   a high profile pro-democracy figure , was first arrested in August 2020. He has since been charged with foreign collusion under the sweeping NSL, after calling for sanctions against Hong Kong and China over their crackdown on the pro-democracy movement. If convicted he could face life in prison. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/11/hong-kong-passes-law-to-limit-work-of-foreign-lawyers-amid-ongoing-jimmy-lai-case ab23 Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was sentenced Mo...

Resultados das eleições distritais convencem Pequim

 dez23 As primeiras eleições distritais de Hong Kong “só para patriotas” registaram a taxa de participação mais baixa desde a transferência de soberania. Politólogos dizem que a campanha das autoridades para incentivar o voto teve pouco impacto, e que a baixa participação “afeta a legitimidade” dos conselhos distritais. Pequim parabenizou a “realização bem-sucedida” das eleições, dizendo que foram “justas, imparciais, entusiasmadas e ordenadas” https://www.plataformamedia.com/2023/12/15/resultados-das-eleicoes-distritais-convencem-pequim/

resumo do que tem acontecido

jun23 The Hong Kong government, meanwhile, has recently been talking about ‘one country’ in terms of root and branch development. ‘Only with a deep root can leaves thrive’ goes the official slogan. That might be true, but biology also teaches us that it is the leaves that, through photosynthesis, produce the nutrients for the plant to grow. Will Beijing be willing to give Hong Kong the space to grow? Recent experience provides many reasons to be wary.
