Hong Kong is fast-tracking new security legislation that would impose life sentences for crimes such as treason and give police expanded powers amid increased pressure from Chinese leaders. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/09/asia-pacific/crime-legal/hong-kong-fast-track-security-laws/ #asiapacific #crimelegal #hongkong #china #xijinping #johnlee

Magazine

World Without US

@worldwithoutus@kbin.social

World news, outside the US.

Original rationale: unless moderated, internal US news and politics often dominates world news in English, because of its demographic position.

This magazine/community is to post news and articles from around the globe, but posts must have a mainly non-US component or focus.

Submissions related in some way to the Alan Weisman book The World Without Us, which is about what would happen if humans suddenly disappeared from the planet, are also welcome. :)

Rules

Welcome!

Friendly and civil.
Global news welcome, whether big or small.
No internal US news, topics or politics.
Editorials and features welcome. Please add (Op Ed) or (Explainer) to articles that meet those descriptions.
Please only edit titles for clarity, not to add opinion.
Body text (if any) should be from the article.
