US News: WASHINGTON: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has notified Congress that the Trump administration no longer regards Hong Kong as autonomous from mainland.

Asian shares and U.S. stock futures rose on Thursday as growing optimism about economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic trumped immediate concerns about a standoff between the United States and China over Hong Kong.

The legislation will be imposed unilaterally in a move critics say signals the end of Hong Kong's autonomy.

Assertive diplomacy with China would be more use than talk of extending nationality

The Trump administration is crafting a range of options to punish China over its tightening grip on Hong Kong, including targeted sanctions, new tariffs and further restrictions on Chinese companies, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the di…

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Congress on Wednesday that Hong Kong no longer qualifies for its special status under U.S. law, potentially dealing a crushing blow to its status as a major financial hub.

Hong Kong no longer has autonomy under China, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday, in a move that could have wide-ranging repercussions.

China’s effort to tighten grip on Hong Kong with tough laws may not help its cause

Hours before Beijing will hold a key vote on a controversial new security law on Hong Kong, Mr. Pompeo sent a notice to Congress that China was not living up to obligations from before it regained control of the territory from Britain in 1997.

No longer an unrivalled global superpower, it’s unclear the U.S. can still influence the course of events in Hong Kong. But President Donald Trump promises an announcement soon. And analysts say the U.S. still has tools at its disposal.

‘It is now clear that China is modeling Hong Kong after itself,’ said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

“Anti-riot police are everywhere. Cars are stopped by roadblocks for searching," one protester said. "The scale of [stop and search] has never been seen before.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared Wednesday that Hong Kong no longer has the autonomy and freedom that China's communist government promised that it would tolerate when Great Britain gave the territory back to Beijing back in 1997.

Stimulus measures are lifting markets in early trade on Wednesday. That's despite investors growing increasingly wary that the Hong Kong-Beijing crisis could escalate into an international standoff.

“The anger of Hong Kongers over this policy is bigger than their fear of coronavirus.”

Chinese plans to impose national security laws on Hong Kong could see mainland intelligence agencies set up bases there, raising fears of direct law enforcement and what the United States branded a "death knell" for the city's autonomy.

Beijing has proposed a new national security law that could have dramatic implications for Hong Kong. CBS News foreign correspondent Ramy Inocencio joins CBSN to talk about it.

Trudeau said Canada has long called for de-escalation of tensions between Beijing and the semi-autonomous territory.

Britain, Canada and Australia issued a joint statement on Friday expressing their concern at China's proposals for legislation on national security in Hong Kong.

China's rubber-stamp legislature is poised to enact new "national security" laws that could greatly diminish Hong Kong's semi-autonomy. CBS News' Ramy Inocencio reports.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett on Friday said Beijing's move to impose a new security law on Hong Kong after last year's pro-democracy unrest would harm the Chinese economy, and warned that Washington could take action in response to the move.

Global equity markets edged lower on Friday as Beijing moved to impose a new security law on Hong Kong after last year's pro-democracy unrest, further straining U.S.-China ties that cast a pall over recovery prospects and sent oil prices tumbling.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the law would be a “death knell” for Hong Kong’s special freedoms.
