#rulebylaw — Public Fediverse posts

Today was the 50th day of the #HK47 trial. Still on 2nd prosecution witness. The 47 are being tried for participating in a pro-democracy primary, now considered “subversive” under the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw. #RuleByLaw used to kill #democracy. https://bit.ly/3n1UBx2 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1650824156835921921#m

CCP: “ 'Beijing' would never require companies to illegally gather data and intelligence from overseas“

Well d'oh. The CCP *is* the 'law' in the PRC dictatorship.

The United Front Work Department's global operations are entirely legal by virtue of them being "by the CCP, for the CCP".

To CCP everything is "legal' and nothing external and foreign from UN Charter and other intl. treaties down is ever actually binding beyond appearances and temporary convenience.

Being a non-Partystate-affiliated lawyer in a stalinist #dictatorship where *all* "law" is harnessed to perpetuate the one-party rule is not exactly a dream job for intelligent people.

You will still find some intrepid lawyers in #Chinese state facilities. Just not working on legal issues, but rather facing them. In indefinite detention.
