Pompeo declares Hong Kong ‘no longer autonomous’ from China

Al Jazeera  

Announcement sets the stage for the US to potentially withdraw preferential trade, financial status given to Hong Kong. “Beijing’s disastrous decision is only the latest in a series of actions that fundamentally undermine Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms and China’s own promises to the Hong Kong people,” Pompeo said on Wednesday. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said the US was working on a strong response to China’s planned national security legislation for Hong Kong and it would be announced before the end of the week. Trump’s economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, has said Washington would welcome back any US companies from Hong Kong or China’s mainland. The US Chamber of Commerce business lobby urged Beijing to de-escalate the situation, saying it would be “a serious mistake” to jeopardise Hong Kong’s special status.
