China Retaliates Against U.S. For Support Of Hong Kong Protests

China has suspended US warship and aircraft visits to Hong Kong and plans to sanction US-based NGOs aiding protesters. This decision follows the signing of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act by President Trump, which mandates an annual review of Hong Kong's status as a US trading partner and imposes penalties on those undermining its autonomy. China's Foreign Ministry accused the US of supporting violent criminals. The ongoing protests in Hong Kong have escalated in violence, affecting the city's retail and tourism sectors, and leading to a projected budget deficit for the first time in 15 years.
