[quote:thinking...:MV80NDQxMzUwXzgwODQ4ODMyX0UyNTQ0OUY0] From last week: On Friday, President Donald Trump instructed his administration to “revoke Hong Kong’s preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory from the rest of China.” The decree came days after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reported that Hong Kong could no longer be said to have “a high degree of autonomy” from Beijing because of the Chinese Communist Party’s move to implement a national security law on Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s special economic privileges were set out in the U.S.'s Hong Kong Policy Act 1992—a bill designed to ensure the economy of the former British colony continued as normal after its return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. https://fortune.com/2020/06/03/us-hong-kong-special-trade-status-revoke/ This is a stab in the back to HK and any ideas it has about freedom.
