#BREAKING: Fire services director, Li Kin-yat, addresses paramedics & ambulance officers in a letter that says they are no longer required to wear a name badge when on duty. It prompts worries that police would sneak into the protests in disguise of a paramedic. #HongKongProtests
President Xi:
The Hong Kong Freedom and Democracy Act represents what America really thinks about your polices towards Hong Kong
Not what President Trump says or fails to say
This legislation shows what America thinks about the Chinese Communist party’s treatment of Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s autonomy is under attack.
Recent bipartisan passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act sends a clear statement that Congress stands with #HongKongers committed to preserving the independence that's made #HongKong the prosperous city it is today.
Proud to sign the enrollment of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which I cosponsored. This sends a message that Congress stands with the people of Hong Kong. https://t.co/ApM9YIsZSn
Using brute force, China is imposing political pressure, surveillance, and total control upon the people of Hong Kong. The United States does not condone and will not allow China to continue this behavior.
The people of Hong Kong have faced unspeakable violence while fighting for democracy & against oppression. I fully support the Hong Kong protesters and am proud that the #HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct passed overwhelmingly in the House.

This underscores the urgent need for a forensic medical investigation into the "dangerous & patently unlawful" use of tear gas by #HongKongPolice says @P4HR via @HongKongFP https://t.co/mN2eL9lhe2
NEW Correspondence "International humanitarian norms are violated in Hong Kong"
Personal experience from a medical practitioner providing emergency care to injured protesters engaged in violent confrontation with police at Hong Kong Polytechnic University https://t.co/hSUBL5fh6a
With one voice, Republicans & Democrats in Congress have made clear we won't stand by as Hong Kong suppresses the human rights of its own citizens. @realdonaldtrump needs to sign this legislation into law, & he should do so proudly and in public to send a clear message to China.
I'm glad to see Democrats & Republicans come together to pass a bipartisan bill affirming that the U.S. stands in solidarity with the people of Hong Kong and supports their demands for democratic government and autonomy.

The actions of police at #PolyU are disturbing. The Chinese and Hong Kong government need to deescalate. We’ve had enough bloodshed. #StandWithHongKong
The Chinese and #HongKong governments must immediately deescalate the situation and exercise restraint at #PolyU. More violence & bloodshed will only make things worse.
The world is watching. #StandWithHongKong#DemocracyForHK
Sunday morning and the teargassing starts again. Police firing from both sides, right outside the Polytechnic University.
Seems the wind is in the students’ favor though.

Thank you @marcorubio@SenatorRisch for pushing for critical action on the #HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct, which I'm proud to cosponsor. They need our help in their fight for democracy. We should be holding those seeking to infringe on #HongKong accountable, including China.
