Biden offers temporary 'safe haven' to Hong Kong residents in U.S.
Citat:President Joe Biden on Thursday offered temporary "safe haven" to Hong Kong residents in the United States, allowing potentially thousands of people to extend their stay in the country in response to Beijing's (zabranjeno)down on democracy in the Chinese territory.
In a signed memo, Biden directed the Department of Homeland Security to implement a "deferral of removal" for up to 18 months for Hong Kong residents currently in the United States, citing "compelling foreign policy reasons".
"Over the last year, the PRC has continued its assault on Hong Kong's autonomy, undermining its remaining democratic processes and institutions, imposing limits on academic freedom, and (zabranjeno)ing down on freedom of the press," Biden said in the memo, using the acronym for the People's Republic of China.
"Offering safe haven for Hong Kong residents who have been deprived of their guaranteed freedoms in Hong Kong furthers United States interests in the region. The United States will not waver in our support of people in Hong Kong," Biden said.
