Chinese authorities have been leveling threats against the United States in the past few days, in the face of possible U.S. sanctions against China after Beijing passed a national security law for Hong Kong.
On May 28, China’s rubber-stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), passed a draft resolution of the law, which will pave the way for Chinese security agencies to operate in the city. Beijing’s endorsement of the resolution drew immediate criticism and outcry from many local pro-democracy lawmakers.
