Carrie Lam said that while she could not travel to the United States herself, her government would continue to promote Hong Kong to US businesses.
HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she was not too bothered about U.S. sanctions against her but the Chinese-ruled city will complain to the World Trade Organization about a new U.S. requirement on Hong Kong-made products.
The legislation punishes anything China considers secession, subversion, terrorism or collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison and has drawn criticism from Western countries that worry the law will end the freedoms promised when the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
The U.S. government has also required goods made in the former British colony for export to the United States to be labelled as made in China after Sept. 25.
