The PRC bill to protect national security completely undermines the autonomy of Hong Kong, said the head of US State Department. Washington hoped that Hong Kong would "set an example for an authoritarian China." Hong Kong is no longer autonomous in relation to China, US State Secretary Michael Pompeo said on Wednesday, May 27. The head of State Department made such a statement and sent a notice to Congress in the light of the bill on national security protection in Hong Kong submitted by the PRC. According to Pompeo, "Beijing’s destructive decision is the latest in a series of actions that completely undermines Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms along with China’s own promises to the people of this administrative region as part of the Joint Sino-British declaration on the transfer of Hong Kong. The United States "once hoped that the free and prosperous Hong Kong would set an example for authoritarian China," the US State Secretary said. However, the PRC is now building this area “according to its own model,” he added. "The United States supports the people of Hong Kong," Pompeo summed up, emphasizing that the area together with its "dynamic, entrepreneurial and free people developed for decades as a bastion of freedom." In November 2019, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law to support democracy and protect human rights in Hong Kong. It obliges the United States State Department reporting to Congress at least once a year on whether Hong Kong has sufficient autonomy degree to maintain favorable trading conditions with the United States. The document also provides for the possibility of sanctions against individuals who violate human rights. Beijing considers the international criticism to be an interference in internal affairs On May 21, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang introduced a bill to protect national security in Hong Kong. Among other things, the document says that it is possible to send Chinese state security forces to this PRC ‘s special administrative region. Opponents of the bill fear Beijing’s consolidation of power and the end of the principle of "one country - two systems." Hong Kong held protests that police dispersed. The United States condemned China's new bill. The EU expressed concern over China’s plans and suggested holding consultations with all interested parties. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in response called the international criticism of the controversial law an "interference in internal affairs." Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong) has been a part of China since 1997. Until 2047, Hong Kong is guaranteed broad special rights, including freedoms for the press, assemblies and expression.
