Canada Suspends Extradition Treaty with Hong Kong and Bans Exporting "Sensitive Goods" As Responses to National Security Law
//Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne says Canada is suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong as part of a package of responses to the new security law China has imposed on the territory.
"This process demonstrated disregard for Hong Kong's basic law and the high degree of autonomy promised for Hong Kong under the 'one country, two systems' framework," Champagne said.
"Hong Kong's role as a global hub was built on that foundation. Without it, Canada is forced to reassess existing agreements."
In a statement, Champagne says Canada will also treat sensitive goods being exported to Hong Kong as if they were being sent to mainland China.
That means outright banning some military-related goods from being traded there.//
