US suspends Hong Kong extradition treaty over new security law

In a statement Wednesday, the US State Department announced Washington would be suspending or eliminating three treaties with the former British colony, including"the surrender of fugitive offenders, the transfer of sentenced persons, and reciprocal tax exemptions on income."The US government accused Beijing of undermining"the high degree of autonomy that promised to the United Kingdom and the people of Hong Kong for 50 years under the UN-registered Sino-British Joint Declaration.

— Secretary Pompeo August 19, 2020 Since its handover from Britain to China in 1997, Hong Kong has enjoyed a special trade and security status with the United States, predicated on the financial hub's high degree of autonomy from Beijing.

Thank the US for taking these measures🙂🙏 The US has responded positively to this evil law👍

We said nationalsecuritylaw will only make Hong Kong more insecure. Now more criminals can stay and hide in Hong Kong. Genius move by CCP.

Criticizing the Hong Kong regime and CCP can be regarded as a serious crime that may lead to at least 3 years imprisonments, jo matter where are you from. That’s why the world is suspending the extradition agreement with Hong Kong.
