The White House on Friday condemned the postponement of the legislative elections in Hong Kong because of the epidemic crisis, saying that this decision weakens the "democratic path."
"We condemn the decision of the Hong Kong government to postpone the legislative elections by one year," said spokeswoman Kylie McKinney.
And the White House considered that this decision "is the last in a long list of pledges that Beijing, which promised to self-rule (in Hong Kong) and respect for the freedoms of the people, did not honor."
