No room to debate US revocation of HK status

The Legislative Council President Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen rejected a request today for an adjournment to debate the US decision to withdraw Hong Kong’s special trade status with Washington, saying there is no urgency as the bill has been already approved by President Donald Trump, RTHK reports.
This came as Civic Passion’s Cheng Chung Tai requested for a debate on the issue saying the US move has seriously affected the social, economic and livelihood interests of Hong Kong. 
But Leung said there was no urgency as Trump has already signed an executive order on this. He said lawmakers can follow up on the issue through different channels and there was no need to adjourn the debate in the Legislative Council.
He pointed out that this was the last meeting of the current Legco session and bills on the agenda must be dealt with at this meeting.
