US terminates three bilateral agreements with Hong Kong August 20, 2020

ISLAMABAD- The United States has terminated three bilateral agreements with Hong Kong  following China’s imposition of a national security law. 

The ending of agreements follows US President Donald Trump’s order last month to end Hong Kong’s special status under the US laws.

Meanwhile, the government of Hong Kong, the semi-autonomous region of China has termed the US decision a disrespect for bilateralism and multilateralism saying that it will further trouble the China-US relationship, using Hong Kong as a pawn.
