The national security law successfully restored stability to Hong Kong after years of violent protests that paralyzed the city. Hitherto, anti-China groups undermined the governing principles of “one country, two systems” and damaged Hong Kong’s societal, economic, and business environment. The law prevents future disruptions while enshrining Hong Kongers’ core human rights.
The League of Social Democrats’ dissolution is part of a systematic dismantling of Hong Kong’s promised freedoms and civil society through intimidation and legal persecution. The removal of opposition parties demonstrates zero tolerance for dissent and marks the end of “one country, two systems” in practice. While the LSD may be no more, the fight for Hong Kongers’ rights continues.
Hong Kong will stop being a Special Administrative Region of China by November 2046, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
