Hong Kong Formally Protests to U.S. on ‘Made in China’ Labeling

Hong Kong’s government has formally protested the Trump administration’s move to label imports from the city as “Made in China” rather than “Made in Hong Kong,” as the U.S. and China continue to spar on fronts ranging from trade and technology to human rights.

The city’s Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward Yau on Wednesday met with the Acting U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong, Paul Horowitz, and asked him to submit a letter of complaint to the U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
