The United States has rejected the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) ruling against labeling products from Hong Kong as coming from China.

Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law at the end of June 2020, the United States decided that all Hong Kong goods exported to its territories should no longer bear the “Made in Hong Kong” label but should be changed to “Made in China” instead.
