“The vague national security law causes considerable uncertainty about acceptable behaviour for international companies. The pressure on the courts that has accompanied enforcement has likely reduced confidence in the rule of law, which has historically been the city's distinguishing characteristic to attract international business. International firms also face pressure to support Beijing's policies while at the same time these companies face pressure in democracies where they operate to not support such repressive policies, at the risk of market exclusion.”

“The Hong Kong government must stop endlessly expanding its definition of 'endangering national security' as a means of locking up people who express views it doesn't like.”

“It's hard to guarantee that other people incited by him won't become another Ma Chun-man. Whether he used violence, whether he defied the law enforcers, whether his ideas got others' recognition - all these are not important.”

“This decision, made with a heavy heart, has been driven by Hong Kong's national security law, which has made it effectively impossible for human rights organizations in Hong Kong to work freely and without fear of serious reprisals from the government. Hong Kong has long been an ideal regional base for international civil society organizations, but the recent targeting of local human rights and trade union groups signals an intensification of the authorities' campaign to rid the city of all dissenting voices. It is increasingly difficult for us to keep operating in such an unstable environment.”

“We will try to fight to the last moment. But honestly, it's a gamble. How cruelly will the Beijing government treat us? We know the history of journalists in the People's Republic of China.”

“Internationally, Xi [Xi Jinping] has been a successful risk-taker. He staged a takeover of the South China Sea and militarised reclaimed 'island' bases with no effective international response; he has prosecuted wholesale cyber intellectual property theft around the world with, until recently, most countries reluctant to even name China as the cause; he trashed Beijing's agreement with the UK over Hong Kong and is rolling out repressive rule over its 7.5 million people. The world responded with empty hand-wringing.”

“The new security arrangement has changed the rules of the game. Most importantly, it suspends the 'one country, two systems' experiment that was widely thought to expire in 2047. When Hong Kong no longer offers the same legal protections and civil liberties that were once integral parts of autonomy, the world has to review and revise bilateral linkages and relations. Coming to grips with this hostile international environment is crucial to recognizing the costs of violating the autonomous constitutional status. For Hong Kong to survive and thrive, its political elites must return to a rules-based governance structure, end widespread police and judiciary abuses, and communicate with pro-democracy opposition groups and the civic sector.”

“The fact that I am wanted under the National Security Law shows that I am exposed to severe political persecution and am unlikely to return to Hong Kong without risk. I hope that my case can help the Home Office understand more about the complicated situation in Hong Kong. To free more protesters from Beijing's authoritarian oppression, the Home Office could consider more comprehensive evidence.”
