Trump says Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China so he will end its trade privileges
Trump says the US will start to remove Hong Kong's trade privileges with the US, but gives no details on specific measures or a timetable.
Government expels four opposition members from the Legislative Council
The four: Dennis Kwok, Kwok Ka-ki, Kenneth Leung and Alvin Yeung. All had been barred from running for re-election in the now-postponed Legislative Council elections previously due to be held in September. The expulsions immediately followed the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress passing a resolution requiring that lawmakers who promoted or supported Hong Kong independence or refused to admit China’s exercise of sovereignty over the city should be considered in breach of their oath of allegiance to the SAR and removed.
