Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) Certification Act
Introduced
Introduced in Senate on Jan 15, 2026
Bill Intelligence
The bill determines whether to extend privileges to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices in the US, leading to potential termination if not justified. It outlines criteria for entering agreements with the Offices and instructs against promoting Hong Kong's autonomy or the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The US policy is to refrain from assisting in such promotions and to engage in seeking the release of political prisoners, free press, and fair elections. Congressional disapproval can impact the determination, and the bill emphasizes the US's stance towards supporting Hong Kong's autonomy and human rights.
