China says it has suspended Hong Kong's extradition treaties with Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom

BEIJING -- China announced the suspension Tuesday of Hong Kong's extradition treaties with Canada, Australia and Britain in a tit-for-tat move following similar decisions by those countries over a controversial new security law.

The United States has decided to rescind Hong Kong's special trading privileges while Washington's "Five Eyes" intelligence partners have suspended their extradition treaties with the city, with New Zealand on Tuesday joining Canada, Britain and Australia.China has accused the countries of interfering in its internal affairs and defended the security law as crucial to restore order in Hong Kong following a wave of pro-democracy protests marred by violence.

"China has decided to suspend extradition treaties between Hong Kong and Canada, Australia and U.K., as well as criminal justice cooperation agreements." London and Canberra have also angered Beijing by offering pathways to citizenship or residency to Hong Kongers looking to leave because of the new law.

Focus on the Crime Minister in Canada. Perhaps you could research why so many 'reporters' in media are connected through family lines back to parliament?

Thanks for an update.

Stupid China

Of you watch the movie ' Cell ', then you will get a good idea of why China is pushing for their 5G networks, until then, Bell Canada needs to stop their 5G networking in accordance to health and safety of its customers, they have neglected every aspect of it.

We need to cut all political and economic ties to communist China

Huawei: trust us with your 5G and sensitive data/facilities/securities. We are independent of the CCP and don't answer to them. Also Huawei: we don't know why the CCP detained two Canadian 'Michaels' in retaliation for Canada detaining Huaweis Meng W.

China’s utter hypocrisy is stunning! We should stop tiptoeing around them. It may cause issues, but start by banning all foreign ownership by them, and bar their students from attending university here. Put Meng in JAIL to await extradition, just like they did to our citizens!

Is history has proven time and time again, extreme leftist views lead to communism and then to totalitarian regimes that destroy the fabric of the nation. Ultimately people want freedom, or at least the feeling of freedom. CPP will eventually collapse. New regime to follow

The more you tighten your grip, the more people will slip through your fingers. China is trying to control Hong Kong. They can BARELY control China they resort to the most absurd and transparent censorship Because they fear the truth more than anything else CCP_is_terrorist
