Criminal delivery treaty with Hong Kong New Zealand also stopped July 28 12:51
Following the enactment of anti-government legislation in Hong Kong, the New Zealand government announced that it has suspended the criminal delivery treaty with Hong Kong.
New Zealand's Foreign Minister Peters issued a statement and suspended the criminal delivery treaty with Hong Kong in response to the enforcement of the "Hong Kong National Security Maintenance Law" in Hong Kong Revealed.
In this context, Foreign Minister Peters criticized the Hong Kong National Security Act, "contrary to the principle of rule of law and undermining the framework of the one-country-two system that supports Hong Kong's unique status."
He added, "I can no longer think that Hong Kong's criminal justice system is sufficiently independent of China," as to why it stopped the treaty.
In addition, Foreign Minister Peters has revealed that he will tighten export restrictions on munitions and products that can be diverted to the military field to be the same as those for China.
In addition, the New Zealand government updated its travel information to Hong Kong on the 28th, in which it was arrested and prosecuted for national security reasons in a wide range of activities that are open to interpretation regarding the National Security Maintenance Act of Hong Kong. There is a risk that it will increase.”
Britain, Australia, and Canada have also been criticized over the Hong Kong National Security Act, including the suspension of criminal delivery treaties, and there is a growing movement toward China.
