US Bill On China’s Oppressive Law Against Hong Kong
- 16 Jul 2020
- US President Donald Trump has signed a bill to impose sanctions on Chinese officials implementing oppressive law against Hong Kong.
- The US law gives his administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and the entities involved in extinguishing Hong Kong's freedom.
- Mr Trump has also signed an order to end preferential treatment for Hong Kong.
- Hong Kong will now be treated the same as mainland China and there will be no preferential trade treatment Hong Kong has received for years.
- China had recently imposed a new security law to bring an end to Hong Kong's special status, agreed under a 1984 pact between China and the UK. The former British colony was returned to Chinese rule in 1997 with a law protecting freedoms of speech, assembly and the press until 2047.
