China says US terminates Hong Kong emergency order that stripped special trade status

The US has confirmed it will not extend the Hong Kong-related national emergency under Executive Order 13936 upon its expiration on July 14, bringing an end to the measure, China's commerce ministry said on Friday in a statement. 

The order, issued in July 2020 during US President Donald Trump's first term, stripped Hong Kong of its special trade status following Beijing's imposition of a national security law in the city.
