Biden Authorizes Temporary “Save Haven” To Hong Kong Residents In US
In the latest salvo in the US-China ratcheting tit-for-tat over Hong Kong and Taiwan’s political status, President Biden on Thursday signed a memorandum that authorizes the US government to give temporary safe haven to residents of Hong Kong currently on American soil.
“Today, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. signed a memorandum directing the deferral of removal of certain Hong Kong residents who are present in the United States, giving them a temporary safe haven,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki announced.

From the article:
“Essentially the new “safe haven” law is applicable to Hong Kong citizens or residents who fear oppression, arrest, or erosion of their rights if they return to the city, given the altered political situation which arose over the past two years since protests rocked the autonomous city.”
“China’s reach in Hong Kong is believed to have grown significantly over much of the past year, as the somewhat vague national security law’s scope has been ever-expanded, used particularly to target anti-mainland, pro-democracy activists and severely limit their speech, many of whom long ago fled the island or ended up in jail.”
Think anyone in the Biden Administration sees the irony of this???
