jun20 The European Parliament went even further by adopting a resolution calling for the European Union to bring China to the International Court of Justice, accusing China of violating the Joint Declaration. Argumentos chineses:  Therefore, after the execution of all paragraphs of the Joint Declaration, the UK has no sovereignty, jurisdiction or "right of supervision" over Hong Kong any more . The UK alleges that China's decision to enact a national security law for Hong Kong is in conflict with the Joint Declaration; however, it fails to explain persuasively why such a decision violates China's obligation under the instrument, nor is it able to elaborate which obligation or obligations is/are breached by the decision in question.  herefore, the U.S. does not, and should not, have the right to monitor the implementation of the Joint Declaration to which it is not a party .     the Joint Declaration is NOT relevant to the national security law in Hong Kong.

11/6 (candidato indepente Junius) O polémico deputado de Hong Kong, que no ano passado foi filmado a apertar a mão a elementos de um grupo que agrediu manifestantes numa estação de metro e que, meses depois, foi esfaqueado, segue a teoria de que os manifestantes de Hong Kong estão a ser manipulados por Washington e Taipé. Refere-se aos protestos pró-democracia como “motins” e cita os Eagles, para sugerir aos manifestantes que saiam de Hong Kong: “Pode-se fazer o ‘check-in’ e o ‘check-out’ quando se quiser, é como o Hotel California”. Ainda que seja manifestamente um deputado pró-Pequim, diz acreditar na democracia, mas acha que os manifestantes estão a “ridicularizar o sistema” e a prejudicar os avanços democráticos da região.  É deputado no LegCo desde 2016.
