US State Department notifies Hong Kong government of suspension of three bilateral agreements, reiterates ‘one country, one system’ view
【制裁香港】美國務院通知港府 中止與港三項雙邊協議 重申視香港為一國一制
Following Beijing’s imposition of the national security law on Hong Kong, the United States has announced further measures against Hong Kong. The US State Department said in its latest statement that it notified the Hong Kong government on 19 August that it would suspend three bilateral agreements with Hong Kong, including agreements on the extradition of fugitives and the transfer of sentenced persons, as well as an agreement providing reciprocal exemption from profits tax for shipping companies’ international shipping operations. The State Department said the move reflected the United States’ deep concern over Beijing’s implementation of the Hong Kong national security law, which it said undermined Hong Kong’s freedoms.
北京強行為香港訂立國安法，美國再有相應措施制裁香港；美國國務院最新的聲明指，已經在 8 月 19 日通知港府，中止和香港簽訂的三項雙邊協議，包括移交逃犯和已判刑囚犯，以及雙方互相豁免徵收船公司在國際海運業務利得稅的協議。美國國務院指，行動反映美國深切關注，北京推行破壞香港自由的《港區國安法》。
