HONG KONG (Reuters) – China’s top legislature will discuss on Friday the possible extension to Hong Kong of an anti-sanctions law, local media TVB News quoted National People’s Congress Standing Committee delegate Tam Yiu-chung as saying.

Earlier, the city’s leader Carrie Lam said she did not have an explicit timetable for the implementation in Hong Kong of a mainland Chinese law that retaliates against foreign sanctions.
