They can do what they, and every other government, has been doing anyway.
Nothing, really. It's just legalising what they were already doing.
If anything it might make things better in the long run, since legal spying is more transparent and easier to keep an eye on than illegal spying.

Where is left to VPN to? Japan? Somewhere in the 3rd world?
is there any way to protect yourself from this? or at least thwart it?

Sorry I didn't think of that, I know VPNs in Hong Kong don't censor.
