Washington. El presidente estadounidense, Joe Biden, ofreció este jueves asilo temporal a aquellos ciudadanos de Hong Kong que se encuentran actualmente en Estados Unidos y teman regresar, alegando represión de China.

Biden afirmó que este amparo reconoce “la erosión significativa” de los derechos y libertades en la antigua colonia británica por parte del gobierno chino.
