China's government has condemned the mass resignation of most of Hong Kong's opposition as a "farce" and an "open challenge" to its authority.

On Wednesday, 15 opposition members announced their resignation in solidarity with four fellow lawmakers who had been dismissed.

Beijing said the four were deemed a threat to national security.

China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office on Thursday condemned the mass resignation as "an open challenge" against the Chinese government's authority and the Basic Law, Hong Kong's mini constitution.

It also said the move showed their "stance of stubborn resistance" against the central government.

"If these lawmakers hope to make use of their resignation to provoke radical opposition and beg for foreign interference, they have miscalculated," a spokesperson said.

Only in China would "fuck it, I'm done" be seen as "stubborn resistance".

By quitting, they are denying China the ability to remove them from their positions in the future. >_>

Isn't the opposition party a bunch of CCP cronies anyways meant to present the illusion that there's an actual opposition party.

Only at the top levels. The main reason China has been tightening their grip is because actual pro democracy parties have been making sweeping gains. They were on track to have a supermajority in the next election before these new security laws.
