Judges in Hong Kong are already complaining that they are being exposed to political pressure by Beijing and that the judicial system in China does not comply with even the most basic standards of judicial fairness.

The pretext for this is that a Hong Kong resident is recently accused of murdering his girl friend in Taiwan. However this law would expose Taiwan citizens to extradition claims when visiting Hong Kong, so even they are against the law even though it would allow them to extradite the alleged murderer.
