"Safeguarding National Security Bill", also known as Article 23 of the Basic Law of Hong Kong, was passed in March to no public opposition. I read through the whole bill and discussed how it may be used to transgress human rights and common sense in Hong Kong. I also discuss the history of recent protests in Hong Kong, and how they paved the way for Beijing to get its way and increase its control over its people

Chapters 
(00:00) Introduction to Article 23
(03:15) Background: protests and new legislation 2019 - 2021
(13:07) Going through Article 23
(16:00) Part 2: Treason
(18:45) Part 3: Sedition
(22:55) Part 4: Espionage
(26:55) Part 5: Sabotage
(27:27) Part 6: External Interference 
(31:15) Part 7: Enforcement
(36:08) Foreign commentary
