The Australian government is considering providing refuge for Hong Kong residents in response to rising tensions in the city following a new oppressive national security law imposed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

During an interview in Canberra on July 2, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he is “very concerned” about the endangerment of Hongkongers following protests against the oppressive new law.
