HONG KONG (Xinhua): The Hong Kong government on Thursday (June 18) expressed its disappointment with a US Department of Justice committee which recommended denying the Pacific Light Cable network connecting to Hong Kong.

A spokesman of the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau of the government said the recommendation not only hindered the telecommunications development between Hong Kong and the United States, but also harmed the interests of US investors and entities.
