US: /CHINA/HONG KONG: Per CNBC: "Any counter measures that China lobs back in
retaliation for the U.S. decision to revoke Hong Kong's special status will not
likely hurt American investors, a pro-Beijing lawmaker in the city said...
Regina Ip, a member of Hong Kong's Executive Council and Legislative Council,
told CNBC that Beijing could take steps to retaliate if the U.S. freezes the
assets of Chinese officials, for instance. "If the U.S. freezes Hong Kong
assets, or Chinese assets, Beijing could take counter measures," she said.
"There are no specifics yet, although the Chinese (Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
have said that if the U.S. imposes sanctions on Hong Kong, there will be counter
measures."
