Is the US – China Trade Deal In Jeopardy Because Of Hong Kong? China Orders Suspension In Agriculture Purchases
June 1, 2020
Chinese government officials Monday reportedly ordered some state-run firms to stop buying U.S. agriculture products following the U.S. decision to end Hong Kong’s special trade status as Beijing sought to stamp out pro-democracy demonstrations in the former British colony.
At the same time, China accused the U.S. of hypocrisy in light of the nationwide protest violence that are sweeping America in the wake of the death of a black Minneapolis man at the hands of a white police officer.
