HONG KONG - The United States warned in a report on Friday that increased meddling from China in Hong Kong had adversely impacted the city, straining international business confidence in the Asian financial hub.
The city is now also seeking to amend laws to allow individuals to be extradited to mainland China, despite grave human rights concerns towards Beijing. In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Hong Kong matters were an internal affair for China and foreign governments had no right to interfere.
The areas of special treatment for Hong Kong are fairly broad and now include visas, law enforcement including extraditions, and investment. The continuation of the U.S. Congress enacted policy is predicated upon China and Hong Kong maintaining a so-called “one country, two systems” arrangement.
