Nathan law, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you so much for having me again, stephen. Well, its a pleasure to have you back in the studio. We talked last soon after you fled from hong kong. Youve been living a life in exile for pretty much three years now. But your situation has changed recently because the chinese authorities or the hong kong authorities, i should say have put a bounty on your head of1 million hong kong dollars. What difference has that made . Well, its definitely a step up of the Intimidation Tactics that the chinese and Hong Kong Government has been using. For me, ive been wanted on several other charges, but putting a bounty on someone s head is completely new. Like, when i google and search on the list of bounties from the governments list, its actually quite strange because you saw people who are wanted under homicide or any other serious crimes, they were wanted with 300,000 hong kong dollars and we were, like, triple of their bounties. But the charges, of course, ar

they were wanted with 300,000 hong kong dollars and we were, like, triple of their bounties. but the charges, of course, are very serious. incitement to secession, collusion with foreign forces to endanger national security, and hong kong s chief executive, relatively new in office, john lee, has said that you and the others who are now on this bounty list will be pursued for life, like, he says, rats on the street. they re serious. well, this kind of harsh tone from john lee is kind of expected. and, for us, it s definitely fabricated charges. if you look at how the beijing government and hong kong government weaponised the idea of national security, people could break national security just because of they re chanting a slogan. and we just have to wonder, like, how fragile the national security is, for people just to chant a slogan to break it. it s definitely a weapon to persecute activists, no matter they re in hong kong or overseas,
