Chinese media lashes out at possible moves by the US to impose sanctions and end Hong Kong's special status in response to Beijing's national security laws
The China Daily said Trump's pledge to"take action to revoke Hong Kong's preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory", and to impose sanctions on individuals, would hurt the US, and unite Hong Kong with mainland China.
The state-backed China Daily said US President Donald Trump's pledge to "take action to revoke Hong Kong's preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory", and to impose sanctions on unspecified individuals, would hurt the United States, and unite Hong Kong with mainland China. In a sign of diplomatic manoeuvring, the US government said it would put one of its prime Hong Kong properties up for sale - a luxury residential complex worth up to $645.09 million .
Protesters, however, have said they are railing against China's deep encroachment on Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms despite Beijing's promise to grant the city a high degree of autonomy under a so-called "one-country, two systems" formula since it reverted from British to Chinese rule in 1997.
