China has accused Australia of "gross interference" after prime minister Scott Morrison granted a range of visa holders from Hong Kong a five-year extension and suspended an extradition treaty with the city, The Guardian reports. Australia would allow Hongkongers, fearing persecution under the new national security law, to stay in the country for longer and then offer them a pathway to permanent residency.
