US declares Hong Kong no longer enjoying autonomy
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells Congress that Hong Kong no longer enjoys the autonomy promised by Beijing, stripping the financial hub of special trading rights.
“No reasonable person can assert today that Hong Kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from China, given facts on the ground,” Pompeo says in a statement, hours before Beijing is expected to impose a controversial new security law.
