	* After doing some research, it's clear this law was set up to crack down on the anti extradition protests that have been happening since June 2019. Each of the articles inside is tailored to control the mass rally. The Beijing government has long planned to enact this law, probably since the umbrella movements in 2014 but they did not have the popular votes in HK legislative council.		* After doing some research, it's clear this law was set up to crack down on the anti extradition protests that have been happening since June 2019.

	* When we talk about the hopes that folks have in the short term and long term, they know that it is impossible to push back the NSL, but they're hoping for more international support , even though they don’t know exactly what it looks like.		* When we talk about the hopes that folks have in the short term and long term, they know that it is impossible to push back the NSL, but they're hoping for more international support , even though they don’t know exactly what it looks like.

	* When asked about how the NSL affects international relationships, we agreed on the fact that Hong Kong used to be the important international center in Asia. However, under HKNSL, international operations has to be careful if the funding will go through the banks in HK, the document will go through any internal branch in HK, or the web service (ex. VPN) will go through the server in HK.		* When asked about '''how the NSL affects international relationships''', we agreed on the fact that Hong Kong used to be the important international center in Asia.

	* With this international effects, we see the firsts actions like RTHK taking down an interview with Nathan Law (one of the hardcore activist and young politician) or [https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/15/vpn-rethink-hong-kong-servers VPN providers removing their servers from Hong Kong], since, according to that HK National Security Law, all the data in HK server belong to Beijing.		* With this international effects, we see the firsts actions like RTHK taking down an interview with Nathan Law (one of the hardcore activist and young politician) or [https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/15/vpn-rethink-hong-kong-servers VPN providers removing their servers from Hong Kong], since, according to that HK National Security Law, all the data in HK server belong to Beijing.

	* When we talk about the ways folks and organizations can help, the first idea suggested was lobbying other governments to withdraw or suspend the extradition treaty or mutual legal assistance treaties with Hong Kong and China. It's also some kind of pressure for the Beijing government: USA / Canada / AU / UK / New Zealand stopped MLATs with China after this National Security Law. So China can't ask those countries to transfer the people back to China when China says they are guilty.		* When we talk about the '''ways folks and organizations can help''', the first idea suggested was lobbying other governments to withdraw or suspend the extradition treaty or mutual legal assistance treaties with Hong Kong and China.

	* Another idea mentioned was lobbying the tech giants to not compromise their data to China government requests, as of now, most of them are saying that they will temporarily suspend all data requests, but that is not enough.		* Another idea mentioned was lobbying the tech giants to not compromise their data to China government requests, as of now, most of them are saying that they will temporarily suspend all data requests, but that is not enough.
