New Zealand has suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong and made a number of other changes following China’s decision to pass a national security law for the territory, Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters said on Tuesday.
“If China in future shows adherence to the ‘one country, two systems’ framework then we could reconsider this decision.” Australia, Canada and the UK all suspended extradition treaties with Hong Kong earlier this month. US President Donald Trump has ended preferential economic treatment for Hong Kong.
Travel advice has been updated to alert New Zealanders to the risks presented by the new security law, he added.
