Washington: The United States said Monday it was ending the export of sensitive defence items to Hong Kong, no longer treating the financial hub separately from China.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the decision hours after China in turn restricted visas to some Americans for Hong Kong amid a row over a security law that Beijing is pushing for the semi-autonomous territory.
