WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States on Saturday condemned Hong Kong’s issuance of arrest warrants for activists based overseas, including some U.S.-based individuals.
“We will not tolerate the Hong Kong government’s attempts to apply its national security laws to silence or intimidate Americans or anyone on U.S. soil,” U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said in a statement, adding that “the Hong Kong government continues to erode the autonomy that Beijing itself promised to the people of Hong Kong following the 1997 handover.”
