China’s anti-sanctions law puts Hong Kong on edge – Asia Times

Will Beijing extend its new Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law to Hong Kong? Commentators are buzzing about the potential impact the law s implementation in the special administrative region would have on its financial and business hub status.

Tian Feilong, an associate professor at Beihang University s Law School in Beijing and a director of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macau Studies, told NowTV that Hong Kong should help implement the law by putting it into Annex III of the Basic Law or setting up a relevant law domestically.

Tian spoke as European and American companies said they were shocked and facing irreconcilable compliance issues because of the quick rollout of the law.

Tian said the law was aimed at putting pressure on China-based Western companies, which would pass the pressure on to their own countries. He said foreign countries would then become more cautious before imposing any sanctions on China in the future.

Sounds like Tian is a loyal CCP member with ambitions. Sadly, I do not wish him well but instead am hoping that Hong Kong somehow finds its way toward freedom.
