Also it's that such laws are not meant to be allowed until 2047 after the end of One Country Two Systems, again a new development for HK.

Haven’t been inside it yet, but will go one day..Q. wrote: Rule 36 guarantees freedom of religion. I think we all know how much freedom of religion and free speech they have. Laws don't mean a thing if they don't apply to everyone.

According to China's own constitution, rule 35 guarantees right to freedom of speech, publishing, gathering and protesting. Rule 36 guarantees freedom of religion. I think we all know how much freedom of religion and free speech they have. Laws don't mean a thing if they don't apply to everyone.
第三十五条 中华人民共和国公民有言论、出版、集会、结社、游行、示威的自由。
第三十六条 中华人民共和国公民有宗教信仰自由。
