		</div><p>Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese has criticised authorities in Hong Kong over their pursuit of two pro-democracy activists who live in Australia.</p>
<p>Hong Kong’s chief executive John Lee said on Tuesday that eight pro-democracy activists who live in the the UK, Australia, United States and Canada will be pursued for life for alleged national security offenses.</p>
<p>He dismissed criticism that the move to have them arrested was a dangerous precedent.</p>
<p>Mr Albanese said his government was concerned and disappointed by the issuing of arrest warrants for Australian citizen Kevin Yam and permanent resident Ted Hui.</p>
<p>He told Australia Broadcasting Corp on Wednesday: “I am of course disappointed. I’ve said we’ll co-operate with China where we can. But we will disagree where we must. And we do disagree with China with these actions.”</p>
<p>Mr Albanese said he disagreed with China on the detention of Cheng Lei who is awaiting a verdict after standing trial in March last year on national security charges.</p>
<p>He said the Australian journalist was being held “without proper process.”</p>
<p>“We continue to advocate for the interests of Australia,” said Mr Albanese. “We’ll continue to do so. We will disagree where we must. We will engage in our national interest.</p>
<p>“This decision overnight is an example of where Australia and China do have different approaches to these issues. And we’ll stand up for our values.”</p>
