If you have, you should make very sure that you don't ever go to Hong

Hong Kong, even just to make a connecting flight, could put you in jail
for years and even the rest of your life.

Newly enacted legislation which China insists applies to ANYONE who has
criticized the Chinese government - regardless of where the person lives
in the world or where the criticism was made - puts everyone at risk.
Even this post has the potential of putting me in a prison for life if
I ever set food in China.

Yes, there's the potential of that happening but unless you are
actively protesting the CCP it is unlikely they care enough to arrest
foreigners passing through the country. It's going to stir up more
trouble for no real benefit. This is more likely meant to give their
people in countries like Canada more authority (cover) to go after
Chinese citizens who live in Canada and are protesting the Chinese
government.
