US allows national emergency declaration on Hong Kong to expire, restoring preferential treatment.
The US allowed Executive Order 13936, which declared a national emergency concerning Hong Kong, to expire without renewal. The order, imposed in 2020 after Beijing enacted the national security law, had ended Hong Kong's preferential trade and export treatment. Hong Kong and China welcomed the move as a step toward normalizing ties.
