President Trump put China and President Xi on notice over Hong Kong at his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
“We’re carefully monitoring the situation in Hong Kong” and “The world fully expects that the Chinese government will honor its binding treaty”:
Trump raises Hong Kong, says expects China to honor one country, two systems and terms of 1997 handover. "We are all counting on President Xi to be a great leader."
