The Confederation of Trade Unions in HK have called for a general strike on Wednesday

  • in response to the new China National Security Law

The union group says (in brief):

  • Once the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law is implemented, it will inevitably threaten the freedoms and rights that Hong Kong people have always cherished.
  • to bypass local legislation
  • setting up law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong
  • betraying one country, two systems

The law comes before the National People's Congress on May 28. The NPC is basically a rubber stamp for draft laws.
