People will observe how they use these laws first.
I don't think it's permanent damage unless they use it in a way that scares people off.
Thailand has some really undemocratic laws like lese majestic
If yr in yr out people come and go from HK without incident...things will return to normal.
But if they go and catch someone for being a spy for posting he does not like Xi on the Internet...then it's downhill all the way.

HK must not keep on thinking about their past but move on forward to a new era.
Tourism alone will not be sufficient to upgrade their economy.
They should reinvent the approach of economy growth with new industry and technology.

Foreign tourists likely will reach 2019 figure if they can continue first 7 months growth.
As Mainland tourists unlikely to go back because they feel despised.

Yes yes, they want to continue to be a colony of Britain. But why? It's not as though they have any more rights under the British. It's simply because years of brainwashing led them to believe that the angmohs are better, and that even being dogs is something to be proud of.

Hard truth for the HKies...But many would argue HKG is a mere shadow of its old self now........

Were journalists, politicians, online critics arrested when HK were under the British? If HK is more free now, why are foreigners and HKers leaving HK? Were HKers forced to study British security law before 1997?

HK is as dead as Beijing right now. There is no turning back for HK. Nothing can be done until the CCP collapses.

When HK is back to China rule, the journalists etc were free to express their views until such a point in time where they are instigating riots. And you think that this is right?
The HKers brought it upon themselves for their freedom to be taken away since they've been proven that they don't deserve to have it.

The west and China can both blast their proppaganda in HK.

There is a kind of stupidity to argue to take away everyone's freedom because some people did some stupid things.
Itbjs kore an excuse used by authoritarian govts to curtail the freedom of the citizens.
The CCP itself made grave errors such as cultural revolution and great leap forward( backwards) ...what the teen did is nothing but mischief.. the CCP caused real suffering and should rightly subject itself to not just the power of the people but proportionate punishment for what it has done.
The CCP is only good at going after others and does not subject itself to scrutiny.

That's a fact of life. When some people did not toe the line, they spoil things for everyone. Isn't that what's happening in other countries too? And for what the teen did, why dun you try to do the same in Spore and see what will happen to you?
And trust me, the CCP knows that the cultural revolution is wrong. They have even published openly that it is damaging.

What freedom are you talking about,
burn the flag?
burn people with opp view?
Storm state building , destroy state properties?
All these if done in other countries will land in jail. No?
So far only the ringleaders are punished, not fair?

What about 721 at Yuen Long station when CCP supporters beat up random passengers and pregnant women? 831 when popo randomly beat up passengers without making arrests? 2019 did not deter foreigners from continue doing business in HK.
What about 8964 Tiananmen square massacre when tanks and soldiers rolled in to massacre unarmed peaceful protesters? Are you ok with it? Is this the democracy China is preaching to the world?

Which part of the articles were they publishing which instigate the riots? Is publishing real news also instigating riots? Do western countries ban news media?
