Hong Kong activists urge EU not to ratify China deal
By EUobserver
Hong Kong democracy activists have asked the EU not to ratify its planned new investment deal with China, at a time when Beijing is tearing up international obligations to the people of Hong Kong, The Guardian writes. The activists have written to EU Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, asking the EU to refuse to sign the treaty until China's national security laws are repealed.
