Biden authorizes extension of stay of immigrants from Hong Kong to the United States

This was announced by the White House.

The document prescribes to postpone the expulsion of some Hong Kong residents from the United States and provide them with temporary asylum.

“These actions demonstrate President Biden's strong support for the people of Hong Kong in the face of continued repression by the PRC and make it clear that we will not be left out when China breaks its promises to Hong Kong and the international community,” the statement said.

In July, Biden extended sanctions against China.

He accused the PRC government of "not complying with its obligations given as to how it approaches Hong Kong."

China called on the United States and Japan to stop interfering in the country's internal affairs and the situation in Hong Kong and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

In late July, the Hong Kong Supreme Court found the first defendant in a national security law case that was passed following massive protests that began in the summer of 2019.
