The United States withdrew Hong Kong's special status from the same day and further restricted the export of defence equipment to Hong Kong.
U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo said China's decision Communist Party deprive freedom in Hong Kong forced Trump government to reassess its policies in the area. He said that the decision to withdraw special status was not a "happy" decision, but it was a direct consequence of Beijing's violation of the Sino-British Joint Statement endorsed by the common country.
Suspension of export licence exemption
American business minister Ross announced that they are lifting Hong Kong's special status and suspending preferential treatment, including export license exemptions. He added that the United States was evaluating other measures to further eliminate special treatment in Hong Kong.
"The Chinese Communist Party's intention to implement new national security measures in Hong Kong not only undermines the autonomy of the region, but also increases the risk that sensitive U.S. technology will be transferred to China Liberation Army or to the National Security Agency ," Rose said in a statement. These risks were rejected by the United States, which decided to remove Hong Kong's special status. "
Stop exporting defence equipment to Hong Kong
At the same time, Pompeo announced that the United States to stop the export of defense equipment to Hong Kong, also plans to restrict the export of dual-use technology to Hong Kong. America announced that it would give hong kong the same draconian treatment as china mainland for dual-use technology.
"We can no longer tell whether the control equipment is exported to Hong Kong or China mainland ."" he said ." We can not risk the weapons falling into the Chinese Liberation Army. The main purpose of Liberation Army is to maintain China's Communist Party dictatorship by whatever means. "
According to the State Council's records, last year the State Council approved the export of $2.4 million worth of prevention and control equipment to the Hong Kong ruling authorities, and finally delivered about $1.4 million worth of goods. The direct effect of the export ban will therefore not be too significant.
