WASHINGTON: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday postponed a report on whether China is respecting the autonomy of restive Hong Kong as required under a new law that infuriated Beijing.
Pompeo, who did not announce a new date, said the delay was due to China’s plans to convene its top legislature on May 22 -- a time when Beijing is especially sensitive about preventing dissent. (AFP)
