Several U.S. officials and Congress members criticized Beijing's move to impose a national security law in Hong Kong, with some — such as Republican Senator Marco Rubio — threatening sanctions on China.

said if China's "rubber stamp legislature moves forward on Thursday," the U.S. State Department "will have no option" but to certify that Hong Kong "is no longer autonomous" and "sanctions should follow."Approval of the law will also be a threat to the "one country, two systems" framework, Rubio suggested.

Hong Kong, a former British colony which returned to Chinese rule in 1997, is ruled under the "one country, two systems" policy. It gives the city self-governing power, a largely separate legal and economic framework from mainland China, and various freedoms including limited election rights.The "one country, two systems" framework underpins Hong Kong's status as a global financial and business center, especially as a middleman between China and the world.
