An international group of think tanks from 39 countries has signed a letter on July 3 supporting the people of Hong Kong, and condemning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for imposing a draconian security law on the city.

The letter stated: “the law is intended to allow mainland authorities to crush freedom in Hong Kong and extend absolute CPC [Communist Party of China] rule.”
