In a show of support for protesters in Hong Kong, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers on June 13 reintroduced legislation that would require the United States to review whether special trading privileges currently afforded to Hong Kong should continue.
The legislation, introduced by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), James Risch (R-Idaho), and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), would require the U.S. secretary of state to issue an annual certification of whether Hong Kong is sufficiently autonomous to justify special treatment under the U.S.–Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992.
