Hong Kong imposes new measures on overseas-based activists
The organisation is not the city's official legislature and its influence is limited.
Three of the original 19 activists were already targeted by similar measures last year.
Secretary for Security Chris Tang banned providing funds or economic resources to the 16 activists, including Victor Ho, Keung Ka-wai, Australian academic Chongyi Feng and US citizen Gong Sasha, the Hong Kong government said in a statement.
Travel documents were cancelled for 12 of the 16 who hold Hong Kong passports.
The government also prohibited properties from being leased to the people on the list or forming joint ventures with them.
Anyone violating the orders risks a penalty of up to seven years in prison.
The 16 activists are hiding in the UK, the US, Canada, Germany, Australia, Thailand and Taiwan, among other regions, the government said, accusing them of continuing to engage in activities endangering national security.
The notice also accused them of intending to incite hatred against Beijing and Hong Kong through smear and slander.
'We therefore have taken such measures to make a significant impact,' the statement said.
Beijing imposed a national security law on the territory in 2020 that has effectively wiped out most public dissent following huge anti-government protests in 2019.
Many activists were arrested, silenced or forced into self-exile.
The measures announced Monday were issued under the powers granted by Hong Kong's homegrown national security law enacted last year.
The arrest warrants issued in July have drawn criticism from foreign governments, including the US, the UK and the European Union.
Police offered rewards of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars (£19,178) to one million Hong Kong dollars (£95,889) for information leading to their arrests.
In a July statement, US secretary of state Marco Rubio condemned the moves.
'The extraterritorial targeting of Hong Kongers who are exercising their fundamental freedoms is a form of transnational repression,' he said.
'We will not tolerate the Hong Kong government's attempts to apply its national security laws to silence or intimidate Americans or anyone on US soil.'
The Hong Kong office of the Chinese foreign ministry responded by opposing criticism from foreign politicians, insisting the actions were legitimate.
The governments in Beijing and Hong Kong said the security laws were necessary for the city's stability.

Chinese students at UK universities are being 'pressured to spy on classmates'
Chinese students at universities in the UK are being pressured to spy on their classmates, according to a new report. The UK-China Transparency (UKCT) think tank said results from a survey of academics in China studies said the system was subject to 'widespread CCP (Chinese Communist Party) influence, interference and harassment' in order to suppress discussion of issues sensitive to the Chinese government. The report claimed students had told their lecturers that they had been asked by Chinese officials to spy on their peers, while lecturers said they had instructed to not discuss certain topics in their classes The Chinese embassy in London has denied the allegations, describing the report as 'groundless and absurd', according to the BBC. It comes days after the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 was introduced. The law is designed to stop universities from censoring controversial or unpopular ideas. The law's regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), says freedom of speech and academic freedom are 'fundamental' to higher education. If UK universities fail to abide by the law they could be fined millions, said OfS. However, according the UKCT, some universities are reluctant to tackle CCP's interference due to universities' reliance on the revenue Chinese students bring in tuition fees. The report says some of those surveyed claim the Chinese government have denied UK visas to academics involved in sensitive research, while others allege family members in China have been harassed or threatened because of their relative's work in the UK. Among sensitive topics mentioned are politics and humanities, including the alleged ethnic cleaning in China's Xinjiang region and science and tech, including Covid-19. According to the report, some academics at UK universities have been intimidated by Chinese officials and scholars while on visits to the campuses. The universities allegedly include those involved with the Confucius Institute, a partnership programme funded by the Chinese government that offers cultural and language exchanges between China and countries across the world. More Trending The programme has previously been accused of spreading Chinese propaganda under the guise of teaching, with some universities around the world withdrawing from the initiative as a result. OfS chief executive Susan Lapworth previously said Confucius Institutes should be looked into under the new free speech laws due to concerns they don't meet the rules. A Chinese embassy spokesperson told the BBC it always adhered to its policy of not interfering with other countries' internal affairs. The Metro has contacted the Chinese embassy for comment.

EU to suspend US tariff countermeasures for 6 months
BRUSSELS, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The European Union will suspend its two packages of countermeasures to U.S. tariffs for six months following a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, a Commission spokesperson said on Monday. The EU-U.S. agreement leaves many questions open, including tariff rates on spirits, and Trump's executive order last week setting tariffs on most EU goods at 15% did not include carve-outs such as for cars and car parts. EU officials have said they expect more executive orders to follow soon. "The EU continues to work with the U.S. to finalise a Joint Statement, as agreed on 27 July," the spokesperson said in a statement. "With these objectives in mind, the Commission will take the necessary steps to suspend by 6 months the EU's countermeasures against the US, which were due to enter into force on 7 August." The retaliatory tariffs are in two parts: one in response to U.S. steel and aluminium duties, and the other to Trump's baseline and car tariffs.

Analysis: Kate Forbes Holyrood step down should worry us all
The Deputy First Minister now joins a growing list of senior female MSPs stepping down ahead of Holyrood 2026 which should make us worried for Scotland's future. This morning on the radio a report into widespread sexism and abuse in Scottish politics, first reported in The Herald, was discussed. Only two hours after talks about this over the airwaves, the Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes announced she will not seek re-election to the Scottish Parliament next year. These coinciding issues left me frustrated at the direction our politics is heading for. Engender's recent report, titled 'The Road to Success - Women's Candidate Journey and Way to Advance it', laid bare the enduring challenges faced by women pursuing political office in Scotland. It warned that without urgent cultural reform within parties, progress toward gender parity could stall—or, even worse, reverse. When I saw the DFM's post on X this morning, I could not help but be reminded of a stark warning highlighted in the report that experienced, talented and intelligent women will not stay in politics. Ms Forbes stepping down was a case in point. READ MORE: Major report reveals widespread sexism and abuse in politics Why are women in Scottish politics still facing hurdles? Holyrood 2026: Fears over female MSP representation Second only to the First Minister in government, the Deputy First Minister now joins 14 other female SNP MSP leaving her party next year. This includes an exodus of senior female figures such as former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, finance secretary Shona Robison, transport secretary Fiona Hyslop and veteran MSP Christine Grahame. Giving her reasons for leaving, Ms Forbes stated in her letter to John Swinney she does not want to miss any more precious time with her family - more than fair rationale from Ms Forbes but a sad truth that she had to choose between politics and time with her family. It is wrong to reduce a woman to being solely responsible for caring for children and every woman is, of course, unique. Yet, it is still a reality that women are often the primary care givers. The Engender report found evidence of widespread bias at all stages against those with caring responsibilities, and a lack of practical support from parties to help manage these. Talat Yaqoob, one of the main report researchers, told me: "Women should not have to pick one or the other. For politics to be representative of the people of Scotland, those who have caring responsibilities should be enabled and supported to fully take party. "I have concerns that, despite significant efforts, we will actually see a decrease in the number of women elected in 2026 for a number of reasons, particularly growing levels of hostility and abuse in our politics.' Other issues flagged in the report include the growing amount of online harassment, 'default male' models favoured by parties, lack of safety measures and everyday sexism and bullying in political parties. Ms Forbes has already opened up about such issues cropping up in her life and her colleagues'. At an event in June this year, the deputy First Minister said the destructive nature of social media "cannot be overstated" as she criticised actor Rupert Everett for making 'misogynistic' and 'abhorrent' comments after he described Nicola Sturgeon as a "witch". During campaigning, she also said people would "automatically" shake the hand of the male activist instead of hers, despite her being the candidate for the area. Asked about the impact of social media, Ms Forbes had this to say: "It's going to transform and totally change the kind of people that are in politics for a generation." So with the DFM ruling herself out of frontline politics for now, alongside many senior female colleagues, questions remain over which women, if any, will shape the politics of Scotland's future. To prevent us careening towards a future where we erase women from frontline politics, there needs to be a "culture and system overhaul", as Ms Yaqoob puts it, on how politics works and who it currently works for.
