Australia Suspends Extradition Treaty with Hong Kong

VOA News

   Australia is suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong in
   response to the new national security law imposed on the city by China.

   In announcing the move Thursday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said
   Canberra will extend temporary visas for an additional five years for
   the 10,000 Hong Kong citizens currently studying and working in
   Australia, and allow them to apply for permanent residency after that
   time.
