A negative assessment means Hong Kong’s coveted special trading status – which currently allows for visa-less travel for Americans going to Hong Kong; for goods to travel between the two entities without tariffs; and for the United States and Hong Kong to make trade deals independent of Beijing – could be withdrawn.
During those protests, those of us who have lived and worked in Hong Kong feared that the patience of mainland authorities would run out and their security services would arrive to put them down. While that never happened, there is little doubt that Beijing would not simply tolerate unchecked unrest on its doorstep – especially if there was a chance it could provoke protests in China proper.
