Won't stand idly whilst China swallows Hong Kong: US

Washington, Jul 1 (UNI) Taking a strong exception over China's enactment of national security legislation, the United States on Wednesday said that it will not stand idly by while China swallows Hong Kong into its authoritarian maw.
"The Chinese Communist Party’s decision to impose draconian national security legislation on Hong Kong destroys the territory’s autonomy and one of China’s greatest achievements", the State Department said in a statement.
The US charged Beijing of being in paranoia and fear of its own people’s aspirations which have led it to eviscerate the very foundation of the territory’s success, turning "One Country, Two Systems" into "One Country, One System."
