President Joe Biden offers "safe haven" to Hong Kong residents in the United States

President Joe Biden on Thursday offered temporary "safe haven" to Hong Kong residents in the United States, allowing potentially thousands of people to extend their stay in the country after Beijing's crackdown on democracy in the Chinese territory. "Offering safe haven for Hong Kong residents who have been deprived of their guaranteed freedoms in Hong Kong furthers United States interests in the region. The United States will not waver in our support of people in Hong Kong," Biden said.
