Beijing has proposed a security law in Hong Kong that is causing chaos and protest in the independent Chinese city. The law follows months of violent anti-government protests that Beijing warned they would not tolerate.

Things will only get worse here.” Hong Kong leaders are not as worried, with Maria Tam, a Hong Kong law advisor to Chinese government, saying “I’m not worried about anybody being arrested by a police officer from the mainland and then taken back to China for investigation or punishment. It is not, not, not going to happen.”
