    The NSL is so broad it could be anything.

    Saying Taiwan or the South China Sea is not part of China is now illegal in HK as well.

    Is GeoExpat "in public" per the guidelines given to the police?

    Is any posting on GeoExpat something that could constitute incitement to secession or subversion, the latter potentially defined as "interfering in, disrupting, or undermining the performance of duties" by the government per the text of the law? (The latter of these the central government claims was already illegal under HK law.)

    Is posting on GeoExpat following the request or "direct or indirect instructions" of countries, organizations, or individuals outside China or asking them to "provoke by unlawful means hatred" of the government, or to impose sanctions?

    Probably the latter - asking for the imposition of sanctions - is the one that seems mostly likely to violate the NSL if posted here.

    The law literally says "with a view to committing secession or undermining national unification" and "or any other part of the People's Republic of China"

    You're right; I missed it. Edited.

    A totally bottomless pit. When you wrestle with the devil, there can be only one winner.
    And it will never be you, or me.
