have you made HAL yet?

And Xinjiang muslims are China's Jewish population?

This is now and that was then. The Nazis were defeated. The threat of the CCP is very much here, now.

and stock up on tools made in China before the prices start to go up. — Punshhh

Why bother? Start the boycott today

This is good, let's keep fucking over the CCP in any way possible: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53320715

'Microsoft and Zoom have said they will not process data requests made by the Hong Kong authorities while they take stock of a new security law.

They follow Facebook, Google, Twitter and the chat app Telegram, which had already announced similar "pauses" in compliance over the past two days.'

I'm afraid I can't answer that, Shawn. Maybe this dude can:

Yet we are conscious, and rocks are not. — Banno

The aboriginals would disagree with you there.

the guy was a jerk, but I don't want to mention any spoilers so I won't allude as to why.

At least people in the US are allowed to disagree. Not so in CCP-controlled China, Tibet, Hong Kong and now seemingly the UK:

A weird idea I'll admit but I think it would be cool if humanity developed a sort of interstellar seed and made earth into some sort of giant dandelion ball shedding seeds on the cosmic winds. — Benj96

Cosmic dandelion pollen would cause cosmic allergies.

Let's wait and see what happens in November I guess..

"The [Hong Kong national security] Law’s provisions on its scope have drawn a lot of attention. Article 38 states, “This Law shall apply to offences under this Law committed against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region from outside the Region by a person who is not a permanent resident of the Region.” I know of no reason not to think it means what it appears to say: it is asserting extraterritorial jurisdiction over every person on the planet."

CCP's Gestapo are in charge of HK now

It's good the UK is offering a special visa regime I suppose but that's not really going to solve the problem. — Benkei

More aggressive deterrents are necessary. How much more ground will democracy lose? The CCP won't stop here.

time for a new thread about CCP imperialism

It's all over: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-hongkong-security/china-passes-controversial-hong-kong-security-law-idUSKBN241061

"Hong Kong is one of many developing conflicts between Beijing and Washington, on top of trade issues, the South China Sea and the coronavirus pandemic.

Britain has said the security law would violate China's international obligations and its handover agreement, which promised Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy for 50 years under a "one country, two systems" formula.

Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said on Tuesday that if China had passed the security law for Hong Kong, it was "regrettable".

The European Parliament earlier in June passed a resolution saying the European Union should take China to the International Court of Justice in The Hague if Beijing imposed the law."

How much more CCP imperialism should we take?

That's why I added a qualification to the word objection. — Banno

You didn't qualify it, you added more information
