Message Subject US revokes Hong Kong's special status on trade
Poster Handle thinking...
Post Content
Okay from the US POV, this makes sense:

While it was just a formality at this point, after the US revealed several weeks ago that it would strip Hong Kong of its special trade now that China's is set to impose its new security law as soon as tomorrow, moments ago US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, issued a statement advising China that Hong Kong’s special status is officially revoked.

"With the Chinese Communist Party’s imposition of new security measures on Hong Kong, the risk that sensitive U.S. technology will be diverted to the People’s Liberation Army or Ministry of State Security has increased, all while undermining the territory’s autonomy. Those are risks the U.S. refuses to accept and have resulted in the revocation of Hong Kong’s special status."

Sadly, this is shutting the lid on Hong Kong's aspirations for freedom and autonomy.
