China curtails Hong Kong’s legal cooperation with Washington after US axes bilateral agreements
China has ended a judicial assistance treaty between Hong Kong and the United States, following Washington’s decision to terminate three bilateral agreements with the semi-autonomous city.
Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is ending some of its legal cooperation with Washington.
“We urge the US side to correct its erroneous decision and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs,” ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said, as cited by state media.
