Closer to its goal of eradicating coronavirus. Hong kongs government says it will work with beijing to introduce a new National Security law soon as possible Chinese Premier League announced the bill at the annual National Peoples congress now expecting more details later but its believed the bands addition secession and subversion of the Central Government in the semi autonomous region territory news of the plan has already been met with protests in hong kong and leading prodemocracy figures are calling it the end of the one country 2 systems principle lets go straight over to adrian brown in hong kong so what does reaction look like now adrian. Well sadly this has been a very dark day for those people here in this city state who were d already worried about hong kongs autonomy and where it was going are china has said that it wants to enact this new law because its worried about the growing threats from subversion also foreign interference and also separatism and it says this is a law that actually should have been passed by hong kongs government more than 2 decades ago after the handover and its finally love patience for the Hong Kong Government and it said if you cant do that job then basically were going to have to do it for you know this is all really a direct response of the worsening protests in hong kong during the past few months in particular one incident which happened outside chinas de Facto Embassy here in hong kong its Central Liaison Office when the chinese flag was was desecrated and Chinese CommunistParty Symbols damage that infuriated chinas leaders and what will happen now in future is of people who are found guilty of acts like that could face very long prison terms indeed just a few weeks ago in fact a man was found guilty of of desecrating Hong Kong ChinasNational Flag and he received a sentence of just 20 days in jail and china wants that sentence to be of course much longer in the future as to what will happen with the protests and weve seen small skirmishes today in hong kong in the streets and also in hong kongs Legislative Assembly but of course of the moment we still have social distancing restrictions in force here in hong kong until june the 4th so chinas announcement is in fact very convenient for hong kongs government because of course people are able to gather in groups of no more than 8 and that will remain in force as i say for at least another 2 weeks the question now is what happens when those social distancing rules are lifted and when those rules will be lifted or of good stuff there from a drone brown thanks for that.
