Today, I reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, given facts on the ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong.
There is now zero evidence to claim that #HongKong's govt is in any way autonomous from the #ChineseCommunistParty.
This is a blatant attempt to silence liberty & free speech. Rest assured that the U.S. & others #StandWithHongKong

Chairman Xi and his Communist thugs once again show their disregard for Hong Kong’s promised autonomy and freedom. There must be consequences for Beijing’s tyrannical actions against the people of Hong Kong.

Concerning news that Beijing is again looking to introduce A23 legislation to amend Annex III of Hong Kong’s Basic Law, clamping down on political opposition & NGOs https://t.co/gmRDWPyJlE
Chinese govt must match power with responsibility. On Monday I wrote to @DominicRaab on HK
The police have just fired live rounds at protesters in Sai Wan Ho in #HongKong.
It's only 7:30am.
Today, citizens have planned a #GeneralStrike to protest the government's use of repressive police violence to clamp down on protests for justice and democracy.
