What I wrote is not an allegation. It is a fact as there is currently no extradition from HK to Macau/mainland China/Taiwan.

The whole bill was brought forward because of a HK resident accused of murdering his girlfriend in Taiwan and who fled back to HK. You can say that this was a pretext to bring the bill forward but it still highlights a real issue.

The Taiwanese government is being cynical here.

It's also difficult to see how this bill would "subjugate" HK if passed.

I do agree that the HK courts would need to be very thorough in considering extradition requests from the mainland and that their independence should be preserved.

Or perhaps people are assuming that "one country, two systems" is a sham when it actually isn't.
