Canada is suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong as part of a package of responses to the new security law China has imposed on the region, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday. 

Canada will also treat sensitive goods being exported to Hong Kong as if they were being sent to mainland China. 

"Effective immediately, Canada will not permit the export of sensitive military items to Hong Kong," Trudeau said in a news conference. 

China imposed strict new controls on Hong Kong this week, meant to give Beijing more power to police anti-government protests and other activities it considers the work of hostile foreign powers. 

Trudeau suggested the new law is a threat to the "one country, two systems" philosophy that was supposed to last 50 years after Britain returned Hong Kong to China in 1997.

seems like canada is getting the rough end of the stick standing up to China over that arrest over the Huawai daughter.
