5:20Now PlayingThe UK may suspend its extradition agreement with Hong Kong, in a further deterioration of relations with China.
It’s understood that may be among measures to be announced by the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab. It's in response to China’s new security law in Hong Kong, which could allow dissidents to be sent from the former British colony to mainland China.
