President Trump accused of arresting the founder of "Apple Daily" Hong Kong for the first time August 14 11:32
U.S. President Trump showed a strong distrust of China for the first time by accusing the arrest of the founder of a newspaper known to China in a critical tone in Hong Kong, saying it was "terrible."
Police in Hong Kong arrested 10 people on the 10th this month, including the founder of the apple "Lingo Nippo", which was known for its critical tone in China, due to suspicion of violating the Hong Kong National Security Act. He has since been released on bail, but the investigation continues.
US President Trump accused Mr Rei of his arrest at a meeting yesterday, "It's terrible. I didn't want to see what happened in Hong Kong."
In addition, last month, he mentioned that he signed a presidential decree to abolish preferential treatment such as trade against Hong Kong as a countermeasure against China, and expressed recognition that it would be a big blow to China and Hong Kong.
In the United States, Secretary of State Pompeio accused Mr. Rei of accusing China of depriving Hong Kong of its liberty, but it was the first time that President Trump accused himself of showing a strong distrust of China.
