EU preparing measures against China over Hong Kong security law, diplomat says

While European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last month warned of “very negative consequences” for Beijing, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell detailed lighter measures after a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers in Brussels.

“This will comprise measures both at the European Union level and also measures falling on the member states national competencies in a coordinated approach,” Borrell said. Borrell was referring to any equipment or software that could be used for suppressing protests aimed at preserving Hong Kong’s autonomy granted under terms of its handover back to China by Britain in 1997.

Borrell said EU governments could announce national steps separately, but the 27-nation bloc viewed its response as a package to be defined and made reality “in the coming days”.Finland said it supported the idea of suspending extradition treaties with Hong Kong since the new security law meant detainees could be transferred to mainland China - where courts are controlled by the ruling Communist Party.

Has China ever meddled into any country's internal affairs? Why is the west always 'right' and blames the other side as wrong. This has to stop or we may be looking at a serious confrontation sometime in the future. That 'wrong' side think they 2 are right and r getting ready.

China will ignore but when commerce trade and duties reduce via Hong Kong will see When a few million leave to UK on approved passport to citizenship it will be an impact

Good!

She NEEDS Europe and America. Without them she's in big trouble. “China is becoming a very unreliable and dangerous business partner“. About time these political and business executives fools wake up. Life and freedom is cheap in China under the CPP (Chinese Communist Party). China might take more people hostage.
