Heard on the Street: Rapidly deteriorating relations between China and the West raise the prospect that international businesses or their employees could become targets

Hong Kong’s national-security law came into force Wednesday, sparking the largest protest so far this year in the city. The business reaction, by and large, has been quiet: International firms may not like the law, but it isn’t directed at them.

Why would any Western enterprise employee put themselves at risk of possible arrest by working in Hong Kong today? Doing business in Hong Kong is now untenable for thoughtful people and investors. It's time to withdraw from China, as it retreats once again from the world.

WSJ typically spreading propaganda. Still thinks people are ignorant and can keep blabbing BS. Well better change your HK publishing style.

what firm or org could commit that shit? whose freedom was obliterated under this law?

I dare you to go to Canberra, violently smash the place up while calling for an end to the 5 Eyes and threatening to tear down that ugly US Eagle statue in Russell. See how gently your right to protest is treated then...

Laugh. Wall Street and US have millions of people moving in China every year. Will they be worried? Do not use your own opinions to write

Great article. Wishing the best to the people of Hong Kong and their battle for basic rights.

If this would have happened 6 months from now I'm sure Joe Biden would have done something to help Hong Kong.

You mean international intelligence businesses and their spying employees?

judyabbey1984 But America need RMB, lifes doesn't matter.

And why do we continue to do business with these dictators who do not let their own people have a voice? Oh i know because we let them have all of the supply chain in their country because it was cheap...
