Meanwhile, the United States officially denied special treatment for Hong Kong. It is a retaliation against the Hong Kong Security Law, but the US-China conflict is intensifying again as it says it will review further measures.

US Secretary of State Wilbur Ross made a statement today (30th) and declared that it would deprive Hong Kong of special treatment.

Ross says the US Department of Commerce's rules, which favor Hong Kong, such as exceptions to export permits, have been suspended, and further measures are under way to eliminate special treatment for Hong Kong.

At a similar time, US Secretary of State Pompeo also issued a statement stating that it would cease exporting defense supplies to Hong Kong and exporting dual-use technologies for civil and military use.

Pompeo says he cannot risk passing US defense supplies into the hands of the People's Liberation Army, which aims to maintain the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party.

The Chinese Communist Party's decision to deprive Hong Kong of liberty has led to a reevaluation of US policy toward Hong Kong, Pompeio said.

The United States has guaranteed Hong Kong's mainland and other special status in Hong Kong through customs, investment and visa issuance through the Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992.

Earlier, President Trump predicted that if China enforced the Hong Kong Security Law, it would begin the process of removing the special status granted to Hong Kong.
