China suspends review of request for US warships visiting HK

Beijing has suspended review of requests by US military ships and aircraft to visit Hong Kong in response to a Hong Kong-related legislation passed by the US lawmakers, which Beijing said was blatant interference by Washington DC.

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular press briefing that a number of US-based nongovernmental organizations, including the National Endowment for Democracy and Human Rights Watch, will be subjected to sanctions from China.
