U.S. suspends export of sensitive tech to Hong Kong as China passes new national security law

Both the Commerce and State Departments also said further restrictions are being evaluated. The U.S. government’s announcements were made a few hours before news broke that China had passed a new national security law that will give it greater control over Hong Kong.
