Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists living overseas, accusing them of subversion and involvement in the unofficial 'Hong Kong Parliament.' The move has sparked strong condemnation from the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and other Western countries, who view the bounties as a form of transnational repression and a threat to international legal norms and sovereignty. Critics argue that Hong Kong's actions are an attempt to silence dissent and intimidate activists abroad, undermining freedom of expression and democratic values. The Hong Kong and Chinese governments have defended the measures, insisting they are lawful and necessary for national security, while dismissing foreign criticism as interference. The controversy highlights escalating tensions between China and Western nations over human rights and the reach of national security laws beyond borders.
