U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday rebuked China for its proposed national security legislation on Hong Kong, calling it arbitrary and ...

Pompeo's statement went further than Thursday's State Department warning and underscored how rapidly the world has responded to Beijing's plans after Hong Kong's mass pro-democracy protests last year.

Robert O’Brien, Trump’s national security adviser, told Fox News on Thursday Washington has “lots of tools to express our displeasure.” Neither he nor Pompeo detailed actions Washington might take. "There are privileges that Hong Kong accrues because it's considered a free system. We’d have to look over whether those concessions could continue to be made,” he said.

"If China moves forward and takes strong action under this new national security law ... America will respond, and I think other countries in the world will respond, including the United Kingdom and many other of our allies and friends." Former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump's likely challenger in November's election, on Friday assailed Trump for what he characterised as his silence on human rights issues. If the State Department decertifies the territory, it ultimately falls to Trump to decide which of Hong Kong's privileges to deny.
