In Hong Kong, China Tries to Drown Out Security Law’s Critics

Markets fall as U.S.-China tensions rise
Investors were bracing for President Trump to unveil measures aimed at China.

Any sharp move by the administration risks inviting retaliation from Beijing, worsening tensions between the world’s two biggest single economies.

Hong Kong crisis: China pledges to 'support' territory's police as US warned not to interfere
China’s public security ministry has pledged to “guide and support” the Hong Kong police force after parliament in Beijing approved a decision to impose a new national security law on the semi-autonomous territory.
The move came as the Hong Kong government warned Washington to stay out of internal affairs and said withdrawing its special US status, which has underpinned the city as a global financial hub, could be a “double-edged sword”.

Etats-Unis : des soldats de la garde nationale déployés à Minneapolis après une troisième nuit de violences
La mort de George Floyd, un Afro-américain de 46 ans, lors de son arrestation violente par des policiers, a provoqué colère et appels à ce que justice soit faite.
Cinq cents soldats de la garde nationale étaient à pied d’œuvre vendredi matin pour rétablir le calme à Minneapolis, selon un communiqué militaire. Ces hommes de la garde nationale de l’Etat du Minnesota « offriront un soutien aux autorités civiles, aussi longtemps qu’on le leur demandera, afin d’assurer la sécurité des personnes et des biens », précise le texte.
Au Nigéria, escalade inquiétante des violences dans le nord-ouest
Dans l’Etat de Sokoto, 74 corps dans cinq villages attaqués ont été retrouvés, dans une région où quelque 8 000 personnes ont été assassinées depuis 2011.
Ces groupes n’agissaient jusqu’à présent sous aucune influence idéologique, mais l’ICG et divers observateurs en sécurité s’inquiètent que le nord-ouest du Nigeria puisse devenir une « passerelle » entre les différents mouvements djihadistes du Sahel et de la région du lac Tchad, à l’est du Nigeria, où sévit Boko Haram.
Un « dur nouvelle génération » à la présidence du Parlement iranien

Allan Kaval
En Iran, les conservateurs sont bien de retour. L’ancien maire de Téhéran, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, 58 ans, est devenu, jeudi 28 mai, président du nouveau Parlement réuni la veille pour la première fois depuis les élections législatives de février. Sans surprise, il a pris la tête de l’écrasante majorité conservatrice alors sortie des urnes. Autoritaire, affairiste, pragmatique, M. Ghalibaf est un homme de son temps. Baptisé en politique à l’âge de 18 ans dans les champs de bataille désolés de la guerre Iran-Irak, au début de laquelle il s’était porté volontaire, il a atteint en quatre décennies de carrière les sphères les plus élevées de la nomenclature islamique.

Donald Trump: Twitter hides tweet for 'glorifying violence
"...These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!" Trump wrote, in reference to protests and unrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Twitter’s move also comes amid an escalating feud between Trump and online platforms — flagging the tweet just hours after Trump signed an executive order that could weaken legal protection for social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

The US Department of Justice revealed on Thursday that it had issued a criminal indictment order against 28 North Korean and five Chinese citizens for processing at least $2.5 billion in illegal payments to North Korea to avoid US sanctions

UN peacekeepers: Numbers are going down
World powers are becoming increasingly reluctant to commit their forces to UN peacekeeping missions. As a result, others are stepping into the breach.
Nearly 90,000 soldiers and police officers are currently taking part in UN peacekeeping deployments. That is a drop of around twenty thousand since 2015.
"Some members of the UN Security Council have the feeling that UN missions are too expensive and achieve too little," says Jaïr van der Lijn, a senior researcher at SIPRI, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, "which is why they want to reduce the budget for peacekeeping missions, with the Trump administration leading the way.”

US threat to deny student visas reminiscent of McCarthy era: FM
US President Donald Trump's threat to slap sanction on Chinese students in the US is brazen political persecution and racist, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson who wondered if McCarthyism is making a comeback in the US.
Zhao's remarks were made after US media reported Thursday the White House plans to cancel visas for thousands of Chinese graduate students affiliated with Chinese universities with ties to the People's Liberation Army.
Zhao pointed out that the plan exposes the deep-rooted "Cold War" and zero-sum mentality that permeates the thinking of some Americans.

HK prepares for possible US countermeasures in response to national security law
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to make announcement on Friday concerning his new policies toward China, a counterstrike in response to the top Chinese legislator's passage of a draft decision to formulate and enact a national security law for the Hong Kong SAR. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that Hong Kong has lost "its autonomy" and no longer enjoys special treatment, which signaled that Washington is likely to impose punitive measures on trade and finance, ending the special trade ties between the US and the Chinese city which has been widely regarded as a major battleground for US-China tensions
The "one country, two systems" principle has also ensured advantages which won't be altered due to the new national security law, including free capital flows and a foreign exchange mechanism, the finance secretary added.
The national security law for Hong Kong will effectively prevent, stop and punish any act occurring in the city intended to split the country, subvert state power, or organize and carry out terrorist activities and other behaviors that seriously endanger national security, as well as activities of foreign and external forces to interfere in the affairs of the SAR, according to the top legislator.

Japan should not stand with US like Australia: experts
The Japanese government should not follow the US, like Australia has done, if the Asian country still wants to reap the dividends of the Chinese market, Bai Ming, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, told the Global Times.
In April, Japan appropriated $2.2 billion to help its manufacturers shift production out of China, as it sought to reduce dependence on Chinese supply chains. Bai noted that this is exactly what the US is trying to do.

Tal como había adelantado Página/12, el fiscal Jorge Di Lello abrió la investigación por presuntas maniobras de espionaje ilegal perpetradas desde el corazón de la AFI macrista. La denuncia había sido presentada de manera digital el pasado martes por parte de la intervención de la Agencia Federal de Inteligencia, a cargo de Cristina Caamaño, quien asegura que fueron pinchados los mails de casi cien personas sin que mediara ninguna orden judicial. El titular de la Fiscalía Federal 1 decidió requerir al juez Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi la pesquisa e imputó a Mauricio Macri, Gustavo Arribas, y otros ex y actuales integrantes de la central de inteligencia.

“Lawfare” en Bolivia
En Bolivia existe un Estado de “No Derecho”. Se concreta por intermedio de la irracionalidad en la detentación del poder y conlleva la supresión de derechos y libertades fundamentales. En estos momentos se cumplen más de seis meses, casi 200 días, en los que siete ex autoridades del Gobierno del Presidente Evo Morales se encuentran asiladas en la residencia de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, en La Paz. La dictadura gobernante no ha otorgado salvoconductos para que puedan trasladarse hacia México.
El ex Ministro de la Presidencia, Juan Ramón Quintana Taborga (foto); el ex Ministro de Defensa, Javier Zavaleta López; el ex Ministro de Gobierno, Hugo Moldis Mercado; el ex Ministro de Justicia, Héctor Arce Zaconeta; la ex Ministra de Culturas, Vilma Alanoca Mamani; el ex Gobernador del Departamento de Oruro, Víctor Hugo Vasquez y el ex Director de Agencia de Tecnologías de Información, Nicolás Laguna, permanecen día y noche al interior de esta residencia custodiada por un contingente de 40 policías y más de 5 vehículos por turno. Asimismo, a unos 500 metros de la residencia, el desgobierno boliviano ha instalado una vigilia de personas civiles hostiles, que vigilan día y noche que ningún asilado salga de la residencia. Esta vigilia no se ha replegado ni por la cuarentena total establecida a causa de la covid-19 hace casi dos meses.
