How should democratic states response to the rising threat from China?
China passed the new National Security Law in Hong Kong on 1st July 2020.
Since then, any pro-democracy activists who are involved in international lobbying can be sent to China with the maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
This law can shape the future of the world. If authoritarian states like China are left unchecked, democracy will soon become a dream of the past. We have seen what China has done to Tibet, even Mainland China, and now Hong Kong. China’s expansionism and authoritarianism is a threat to democracies worldwide.
Right now, countries need to cooperate and stand up to China by all means. The ‘Wave of Freedom’ campaign urges the major democracies (the D-10) to coordinate responses and implement measures, economic sanctions, for example, to safeguard Hong Kong’s freedoms and democracy.
