「愛國」團體到美領抗議 指針對經貿辦法案「廢紙一張」、美國是紙老虎
The US House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Certification Act without opposition, requiring the US president to revoke certain privileges and immunities of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. More than 10 members of the “patriotic” group Defend Hong Kong Campaign運動, known for its swift responses, protested outside the US Consulate General in Hong Kong today, saying that repeated US sanctions had been ineffective, the bill was effectively a piece of waste paper, and US power had declined significantly, making the country a paper tiger.

美國眾議院委員通過取消經貿辦特權 特區政府強烈譴責
The House Foreign Affairs Committee held a meeting on November 29, US time, and passed without objection the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Certification Act. The bill states that, in response to Hong Kong no longer enjoying a high degree of autonomy, the US President should revoke certain privileges and immunities of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. The SAR Government issued a press release this morning strongly condemning the US Congress for interfering in Hong Kong affairs, saying the move maliciously defamed the legitimate and lawful purpose of implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law.

德勤畢馬威要求高層訪港用「即棄電話」 金融時報：與港府近期試圖提升「國際金融中心」形象格格不入
The Hong Kong government has repeatedly stressed that Hong Kong is an international financial centre where information flows freely, but foreign businesses remain sceptical. The Financial Times reported today (28th) that Deloitte and KPMG, two of the Big Four accounting firms, have recently asked senior executives visiting Hong Kong not to use their usual work phones, but instead to use “burner phones”. A Beijing-based partner at a US law firm said it was necessary to act more cautiously after Hong Kong implemented the National Security Law. The report said the requirement was markedly at odds with the “international financial centre” image the Hong Kong government hopes to establish.
港府連番強調香港是國際金融中心、資訊自由流通，外資卻抱懷疑態度。《金融時報》今天（28日）報道，四大會計師事務所的德勤（Deloitte）和畢馬威（KPMG）近日要求高層到訪香港時，不要使用平日工作電話，並改用「即棄電話」（burner phones）。有美資律師事務所北京合伙人指，香港實施《國安法》後，有必要更謹慎行事。報道直指，有關規定與港府希望建立的「國際金融中心」形象大不相同。

葉劉淑儀到美領抗議 稱認同劉兆佳指無法「正常審判」可交內地處理
US bipartisan lawmakers in Congress recently proposed sanctions against 49 Hong Kong officials, judges and others. Lau Siu-kai, a consultant to the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, said that if Hong Kong were made unable to conduct normal trials of major national security cases, it could force the central authorities to act and invoke Article 55 of the Hong Kong National Security Law to transfer the relevant cases to the mainland for handling. Several political parties protested outside the US Consulate General in Hong Kong this morning. Regina Ip, chairwoman of the New People’s Party and convenor of the Executive Council, also attended. She said she agreed with Lau’s view and told reporters: “The provision is already there.”
美國國會跨黨派議員日前提案，要求制裁49名香港官員及法官等。全國港澳研究會顧問劉兆佳指，如令香港難以對重大國安案件作正常審判，不排除逼使中央出手，啟動《香港國安法》第55條，將相關案件交至內地處理。多個政黨今早到美國駐港總領事館外抗議，新民黨主席、行政會議召集人葉劉淑儀亦有到場，她表明認同劉兆佳說法，並對記者稱「條款已經喺度」。
