In Hong Kong, our decision on whether or not to certify Hong Kong as having “a high degree of autonomy” from China is still pending.  We’re closely watching what’s going on there.
This week pro-democracy legislators were man-handled while trying to stop a procedural irregularity by pro-Beijing legislators.  Leading Hong Kong activists like Martin Lee and Jimmy Lai were hauled into court.  Actions like these make it more difficult to assess that Hong Kong remains highly autonomous from mainland China.
// 美國國務卿蓬佩奧表示,仍在評估香港是否仍然從中國擁有高度自治,華府正密切注意香港的情況。
蓬佩奧說,這個星期見到泛民主派議員,嘗試阻止建制派議員不符合程序的行為時,被粗暴對待,香港的著名活躍分子,好像李柱銘及黎智英被帶上法庭,這些行動令人更難評估香港是否仍然在中國大陸下,享有高度自治。//

Experts are calling it the African “Smack Track”: a circuitous route to smuggle heroin from Afghanistan to Europe, passing through east Africa. Two drug busts in November, netting 712kg of the stuff, closed a record year for heroin seizures off the coast of Kenya. The haul is less a sign of improved policing and more evidence of the growing importance of the route http://econ.st/1ua0mks
