There are a lot of people in Hong Kong. It'a s first world country and a UN treaty was attempted to be broken. It is shameful that the UN, EU, UK and US did not threaten to take China to the Hague.
The UK
has threatened to take further legal action should the bill be put forward. You didn't hear about it in the news(MSM news corporations have too much to risk in China now), but they did threaten to publically accuse China of breaking the 1984 agreement and take further legal action:

I'm not surprised the UN and EU stayed out of it, obviously it's the UK that needed to speak up more and put it's foot down and threaten to take China on legally. They did.

We cannot have top countries breaking UN Treaties. The argument is that they both should not, not that both should. If China wants to be looked upon and be seen kindly around the world she should not be engaging in such puny activities.
The United Kingdom has helped kill off the bill. You won't hear this though, because MSM media outlets don't want to portray "Beijing Caved to Westminster" in the media.
