Friday’s Factors and Events

In the past week, however, the pressure from the United States has taken a more serious turn in response to a proposed Chinese security law that threatens the long-standing independence of Hong Kong. The law was formally approved Thursday by China’s People’s Congress, and it is expected to criminalize most forms of political protest under blanket bans on “sedition” and “subversion.”
