#Germany to Suspend Extradition Agreement with Hong Kong; #WhiteHouse Condemns Disqualifications and Election Delay

Germany Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said after Carrie Lam postponed a Sept. 6 election to the Chinese-ruled city’s legislature by a year:

“The Hong Kong government’s decision to disqualify a dozen opposition candidates for the election and postpone the elections to the legislature is another infringement on the rights of the citizens of Hong Kong.

We have repeatedly made our expectation clear that China lives up to its legal responsibilities under international law”.

White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany condemns Hong Kong's decision to delay election:

"This action undermines the democratic processes and freedoms that have underpinned Hong Kong’s prosperity.

This is only the most recent in a growing list of broken promises by Beijing, which promised autonomy and freedoms to the Hong Kong people until 2047 in the Sino-British joint declaration.”

Biden Says that Huawei is a “Distrustful Supplier” and Equipment Poses a National Security Threat

The spokesperson of the White House, Jen Psaki, indicated on Wednesday (27th January) that the Biden government would prevent the US telecommunications network from using equipment from “distrust-worthy suppliers”, such as the Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei.

Psaki stated the telecommunication equipment of a “distrust-worthy supplier” will be a national security threat to the US and other allies. The US will make sure that the telecommunication network is not using equipment from those suppliers, and they will work with the allies to secure their cybersecurity. “Invest in the expansion of telecommunications equipment production by the credible US and allied companies”.

Former Trump government allegations that Huawei can monitor users, steal intellectual property rights, and violate sanctions. Huawei denies wrongdoings. Apart from putting Huawei on the trade blacklist, Trump also took the lead on lobbying allies to reject Huawei equipment when building a 5G network. Before the end of the Trump administration, the government still noticed many suppliers of Huawei, including chip manufacturer Intel, will revoke their supply license to Huawei.

Will Japan Confront China? A Visit to Washington May Offer a Clue.

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is the first foreign leader to be invited to the Biden White House, where he is likely to be pressed to more fully address Beijing’s threat to stability in the region.

TOKYO — As he visits Washington this week, it would seem as if Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga of Japan could take a victory lap.

Mr. Suga is the first foreign leader to be invited to the White House by President Biden, who has vowed to reinvigorate alliances. Japan already had the distinction last month of being the first international destination for the new U.S. secretaries of state and defense. And Mr. Suga will not have to contend with threats of higher tariffs or the need for constant flattery that drove Mr. Biden’s mercurial predecessor.
