Last update date: 2020-08-14 07:01US President Donald Trump believed on August 13 that the arrest and investigation of the head of a Hong Kong media agency was a terrible, and emphasized that Hong Kong can no longer compete with the United States.
When Trump held a regular briefing at the White House, the media asked about the arrest of the head of the Hong Kong media and the search of his agency. He thought this was a bad thing, saying that Hong Kong was granted the United States for its free status. Give economic and trade incentives. However, after the implementation of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, Washington decided to abolish these special treatments, making it unable to compete with the United States and at the same time bringing benefits to its own economy.
He pointed out that freedom is a great thing, so he hates to see the current situation in Hong Kong, and criticized China for still calling itself a developing country, describing the situation as unacceptable.
The founder of Apple Daily, Li Zhiying, and several senior executives were arrested a few days ago, and the company building was also searched.
Before Trump was asked about the Hong Kong issue, he once talked about Hong Kong in Fox Business. He said that the issue of Hong Kong is very complicated. He described the United States as giving Hong Kong huge amounts of money in the form of incentives in the past. "Freedom" and accomplishment, and now the United States has taken back everything and discounts. He said those discounts are worth billions of dollars. "In business terms, Hong Kong is already owned by China, so why should I give these to China? "
He said that Hong Kong can never succeed without these preferential treatments. He also said that the reason Hong Kong will never succeed is that China boycotts thousands of geniuses there and allows China to govern.
Trump later said, "So what is it for the United States? That is, we will make more money." He described that business will flow to American exchanges. He also believes that the Hong Kong market will fall to prison and no one will do business. .
