U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission

May 7, 2019

On April 3, 2019, the Hong Kong government formally introduced its extradition bill before Hong Kong’s legislature, the Legislative Council (LegCo). The bill proposes changes to the territory’s extradition laws to allow ad hoc extraditions to countries and jurisdictions with which Hong Kong does not have such agreements, including mainland China, Macau, and Taiwan. These changes would amend laws governing extradition agreements and mutual legal assistance in criminal matters in force since the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China. At that time, the laws explicitly prohibited extradition arrangements with mainland China due to fears over its legal system and lack of human rights protections.
