Hong Kong reacts to NZ extradition treaty suspension

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 29 July 2020

New Zealand has decided to suspend its extradition treaty with Hong Kong.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced the decision yesterday in response to China passing a national security law at the end of June which criminalises forms of political protest in Hong Kong.

Corin Dann spoke to James Pomfret, Hong Kong correspondent for Reuters, and asked what effect the new law is having.
