虚伪或懒惰

NOT SURE if it’s hypocrisy or just laziness. But so many people criticize Hong Kong’s anti-subversion law despite the fact that most places have similar ones—and some countries have much more sweeping legislation. One of the things I love about America’s open society (I have several American siblings) is that it is generally better at self-criticism than our uptight Asian societies, so it’s easy to find open discussions among experts. Hong Kong’s law focuses mainly on seditious collusion, while civil liberties specialists in the US say their nation’s panoply of more than 20 national security laws, many of which come from Republican roots, is gratuitous overkill.  
General conclusion: Having a security law may not be the end of the world after all
