European Union governments are poised to approve a “coordinated package” of measures to support Hong Kong in the face of China’s new national-security legislation for the financial hub.
Member-country envoys meeting on Friday in Brussels plan to endorse a framework of possible EU and national actions that range from curbing the export of equipment and technologies used for law enforcement to increasing scholarships for Hong Kong students, according to a draft document dated July 23 and seen by Bloomberg News.
