Trump pledged to ‘take action to revoke Hong Kong’s preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory’ and to impose sanctions on unspecified individuals

People watch a TV news show about the new national security legislation in Hong Kong, on May 28, 2020.China’s state media and the government of Hong Kong lashed out on Sunday at U.S. President Donald Trump’s vow to end Hong Kong’s special status if Beijing imposes new national security laws on the city, which is bracing for fresh protests.

The Global Times wrote, “China has already prepared for the worst. No matter how far the U.S. goes, China will keep its company.” A spokesman for the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong said this was part of a global program that “reinforces the U.S. government’s presence in Hong Kong” through reinvestment in other areas.

Demosisto, an advocacy group led by prominent young Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong, said the security law will be “the death of freedom in Hong Kong.”
