China National Security Law

What comes next?

The EU body overwhelmingly adopted a resolution citing the deterioration of Hong Kong’s freedoms since the imposition by Beijing of a sweeping national security law in 2020.

The investigation is part of an ongoing crackdown on foreign businesses that provide sensitive economic data.

From black jails to residential surveillance, Beijing has been trying to normalize enforced disappearances for a decade.
