WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday called China’s proposed national security legislation on Hong Kong disastrous and said it could have an impact on the favorable economic treatment the territory receives from the United States.
“The United States strongly urges Beijing to reconsider its disastrous proposal, abide by its international obligations, and respect Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, democratic institutions, and civil liberties, which are key to preserving its special status under U.S. law.” The “Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act” approved by U.S. President Donald Trump last year requires the State Department to certify at least annually that Hong Kong retains enough autonomy to justify favorable trading terms that have helped it maintain its position as a world financial center.
“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.

The Chinese are not interested in listening to the dog barking there. Even the people of their own country are treated as political victims and help others in a pretense manner?
Mind your own business, Mr. Pompeo. You should worry about your own country.
china didn't kill all humans, they killed Humanity. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Why remind them about the coming disaster? They didn't warn us about the pandemic. Dumb Pompeo.
Americans condemn Donald Trump and his failure to act. FocusOnTheTrumpDeathToll100K
But you dont condemn Israel.
'U.S. condemns' not a strong language 4 a country that signed the Human Rights and Democracy Act, as well as the Protect Hong Kong Act -- both of which passed Congress with broad, bipartisan support. Some1 has to stop China & its the U.S.!
But nothing will be done. Just a lot of word salad, no action...dont want to piss off Xi.
No one cares☺️
Meanwhile he sends $8 billion worth of arms to the terrorist sponsoring Saudi Arabian regime to prosecute an illegal war on Yemen.
Condemns 🤣🤣🤣🤣 as if China cares
The same guy who undemocratically occupying Syria and Iraq now talking about democracy in Hong Kong
This security law is aim to obstruct human rights watch in HK. They don't want others to participate in HK internal affairs while the world are also stakeholders of HK. They also claims that this is terrorist activities in HK, while the world had seen, largest terrorist is CHINA
In the future, US has only two choices around HK: to be a friendly partner here, or to be far away. China will not give it a third one.
RIP One country two systems. Except this time it’s official.
What are you gonna do about it? When US been chasing and bombing weak countries, China has been building relationships all over the world. Now they have all the balls in their hand, including US
