U.S. President trump said he was ready to take action in response to China’s adoption of Hong Kong’s national security law. He will release details later this week, describing it as a strong and powerful measure. White House economic adviser kurdrow pointed out that what China has done to Hong Kong is very disturbing, thinking that China is making a big mistake.
Trump was asked about Hong Kong’s national security law when he met with reporters in the rose garden of the White House. He said he would release the details of the response measures later, but the notice would be a powerful measure.
A White House spokesman said earlier that Trump was dissatisfied with China’s actions and believed that once Hongkong’s national security law was implemented, Hongkong would be difficult to maintain its position as a financial center.
Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Washington is considering sanctions against Chinese officials, as well as against institutions that assist China in implementing its national security law in Hong Kong, including freezing assets and banning financial transactions, but there is no decision at present.
In an interview, White House economic adviser Andy Kudrow also said that what China has done to Hong Kong is very disturbing, believing that China is making a big mistake. He said if U.S. companies want to return to the United States from Hong Kong and China, Washington will welcome them, pay for their relocation, and provide tax relief.
After holding a video conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Michelle, President of the European Council, pointed out that he and Abe share common ideas about China and attach great importance to how China can maintain a high degree of autonomy of Hong Kong in accordance with the basic law and international commitments. Michelle also said that the EU supports Hong Kong’s autonomy based on the principle of one country, two systems.
