House China Committee Pushes to Shut Down More Chinese Government Facilities in U.S.

The chairman of the House China committee has requested that the State Department move to shut down the three official Hong Kong trade outposts in the U.S. — which are essentially overlooked Chinese government facilities.

Mike Gallagher, at a ceremony on Capitol Hill today to mark the second anniversary of charges tied to mass arrests that swept up 47 Hong Kong pro-democracy figures, is also expected to declare that “Hong Kong is not a decided question,” NR has learned. The language indicates his committee’s intent to bring a renewed focus on the city’s plight, according to a preview of his remarks.
