The Bill was passed overwhelmingly by 413 to three on Sept 10.
HONG KONG - The US House of Representatives has passed a Bill that could lead to the closure of Hong Kong’s economic and trade offices in the US, drawing condemnation from the government in the Chinese-ruled city.
The legislation must pass the US Senate before it can be sent to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. Hong Kong has 14 HKETOs overseas, including in Britain, Germany, Australia and Canada. In May, Britain arrested and charged three men, including a manager of HKETOs in the UK, on suspicion of assisting Hong Kong’s foreign intelligence service.
