00:00I am directing my administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions
00:06that give Hong Kong different and special treatment.
00:09My announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with Hong Kong
00:14from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions.
00:23The Chinese government's move against Hong Kong is the latest in a series of measures
00:28that are diminishing the city's long-standing and very proud status.
00:33This is a tragedy for the people of Hong Kong, the people of China, and indeed the people of the
00:40world.
00:41They broke their word to the world on ensuring the autonomy of Hong Kong.
00:46The United States wants an open and constructive relationship with China,
00:51but achieving that relationship requires us to vigorously defend our national interests.
00:57The Chinese government has continually violated its promises to us and so many other nations.
01:05Today, I will issue a proclamation to better secure our nation's vital university research
01:11and to suspend the entry of certain foreign nationals from China
01:16who we have identified as potential security risks.
