A bipartisan group of senators on Jan. 15 introduced a bill that would close Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices in the United States on the basis of the Chinese regime’s human rights abuses and its current control of Hong Kong.

There are three such offices in the United States, based in San Francisco, New York, and Washington. The offices referred an inquiry by The Epoch Times to the Hong Kong government, which did not respond by time of publication.
