Calls for Safe Heavens to Hong Kongers due to the National Security Law

—Where is a “safe heaven”? Under the new circumstances, people in Hong Kong are facing inprisonment due to the raising concerns over the protests. So, countries such as UK, Australia and Taiwan are giving visas extensions, offering permanent residency. For example, UK offered citizenship to whom born in Hong Kong before 1997 when the country handed back to Chinese rule. The new visa rule includes 350,000 UK passport holders, and 2.6 million others eligible, will be able to come to the UK for five years. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-53246899 Here in Australia, PM Scott Morrison announced the action to grant a five-year extension to about 10,000 temporary visa holders already in Australia. The tension between China and Australia continues to rise since the trading issue came up during the pandemic. The Chinese embassy said that the meddling in Hong Kong affairs will lead to “nothing but lifting a rock only to hit its feet”. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jul/10/australias-hong-kong-intervention-was-hardly-strident-but-that-didnt-matter-to-china Taiwan is likely an option for Hong Kongers who speaks fluent Mandarin. According to the government-backed Central News Agency in Taipei, more than 5,000 people received Taiwan residence permits in 2019. https://www.voanews.com/east-asia-pacific/why-hong-kongers-who-fear-china-wont-flood-nearby-democratic-taiwan Taiwan opened an office last Wednesday at Taipei which is designed to process the Hong Kong Humanitarian Aid Project. Since the beginning of the protest, President Tsai showed an encouragement towards the protest and she pledged a support last May after the proposal of the law by Beijing. —What is Japanese government saying on that?

Abe stated that the law has “the one country two system withdrawing,” he said.
