Thinking back on the arrests and charges that have been made under the #NSL so far in #HongKong, I can't help but to have a feeling that #Beijing and the #HK government is trying to set up one example under each offenses according to the law.
We have the six exiled and overseas #HongKongers who were wanted, including a foreign national, which seems to be showing the extraterritoriality of the #NSL.
We have the four young students who were arrested for inciting secession, which is one of the main offenses under the #NSL.
Then during yesterday's mass-arrest, some of the arrestees were charged for "collusion with foreign power" while others were charged with "inciting secession." I may be wrong, but this first wave of arrests and charges seems to be "proving" the actual effect of the law.
With that being said, the overall boundaries and jurisdiction of the #NSL remain vague and broad, and there are still many unknown questions that need to be addressed.
