There is no law named "National Security Law" in the United States, he was just using it as a poor deflection, as you know. Once he linked a specific law, I elaborated. You can check it out if you actually care.
Well, one difference is that the Supreme Court basically killed the law as written because it conflicted with the 1st Amendment. Can you find anyone who has been prosecuted since the case I linked? Prosecutors aren’t going to use the law anymore because any judge all over the country will reject the argument. Look up how legal precedent works, I guess...
Do you think that will happen in Hong Kong? The Hong Kong law is also far broader and more vague.
Look, I don’t think I’ll be replying to you further. You’re not trying to actually learn anything, you’re extremely disingenuous, and you don’t raise any interesting points, or really any coherent argument at all. If you want to learn more about the difference between China’s legal system, or the neutered Hong Kong legal system, and the US, do it on your own. I’m not going to hold your hand anymore.
So there is a similar law in the US, even though it's not named "National Security Law". And you can be prosecuted under that law.
How different is it really, from the situation in HK and the national security law?
