About 20% of the Americans in Hong Kong have left for various reasons over the past two years, the U.S. consul general in the semi-autonomous Chinese city says.
HONG KONG --
Among those concerns was an interpretation last month by the standing committee of National People's Congress, China's legislature, that could “further undermine the independence of Hong Kong’s judiciary system by expanding the Hong Kong executive branch’s authority to make decisions affecting cases without judicial oversight," May said.
Lai was arrested in 2020 during a crackdown on the city’s pro-democracy movement that led Beijing to impose a sweeping National Security Law on the city. He is fighting collusion charges and faces up to life in prison if convicted. Hong Kong's reputation as a free global financial center could be further harmed if more of the “best and brightest" leave the city, he said, referring to the decision by many Hong Kong citizens to move abroad after 2020.
May “recklessly trampled on the basic principle of not interfering with a place’s domestic affairs under international law and international relations,” it said in a statement posted online.
