New Zealand Suspends Extradition Treaty with Hong Kong After China Passes National Security Law Veronica 07/28/20 (Tue) 03:46:43 22c727 No.263322

New Zealand has suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong and made a number of other changes in light of China's decision to pass a national security law for Hong Kong, Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters said on Tuesday (Jul 28).

"New Zealand can no longer trust that Hong Kong’s criminal justice system is sufficiently independent from China," Peters said in a statement.

"China's passage of its new national security legislation has eroded rule-of-law principles, undermined the 'one country, two systems' framework that underpins Hong Kong's unique status, and gone against commitments China made to the international community," Peters added.

"If China in future shows adherence to the ‘one country, two systems’ framework then we could reconsider this decision."
