Received preferential treatment for Hong Kong under the US National Security Maintenance Act
In opposition to China's introduction of the National Security Act in Hong Kong, the Trump administration in the United States has announced measures to restrict the export of police equipment to Hong Kong, and is strongly restraining China.
On the 29th, US Secretary of State Pompeio announced that it will suspend some of the incentives previously granted to Hong Kong.
According to the Department of State, the export of defense technology and military-civilian technology to Hong Kong will be regulated on the level of mainland China. Among them, defense technology includes equipment such as firearms and ammunition used by Hong Kong police. The amount of exports for the past year is about 1.4 million dollars, which is 150 million yen in Japanese yen.
In a statement, Secretary Pompei said, "These technologies cannot be handed over to the PLA, which underpins the dictatorship of the Communist Party of China. China treats Hong Kong as a "one country, one system," and the United States does so. I have to do it."
Regarding the Hong Kong National Security Act, the United States has already announced restrictions on visa issuance to Chinese officials, and has halted some of the preferential treatment for Hong Kong, further strengthening China.
