NEW: It’s done. Beijing has pushed through on controversial #HongKong national security law. Hong Kong politicians earlier quoted saying this might happen late summer. The new legislation takes effect July 1, the 23rd anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China. @CBSNews is here.
#BREAKING: China’s parliament have unanimously passed to impose the new national security law that is believed to further muzzles freedoms among Hong Kong people. So far, no clause has been revealed to the public. #HongKongProstests
Today, we are ending exports of U.S. defense and dual-use tech to Hong Kong. We can’t risk these items falling into the hands of the People’s Liberation Army, whose purpose is to uphold the dictatorship of the CCP by any means necessary. https://t.co/sxez4hUpjm
#Breaking: The Chinese Communist Party has just unanimously passed the National Security Law for Hong Kong.
"One country two systems" is officially dead. Now, the basic law can be overruled in the name of national security.
Welcome to #HongKong.
US Senate approves bill to sanction Hong Kong officials: https://t.co/7YSR21OOyf"China imperialism will not go unchallenged," said US senator Josh Hawley. @HawleyMo#hongkong#china
The United States condemns the use of forced population controls against Uyghur and other minority women and calls on the CCP to cease its campaign of repression. History will judge how we act today.
Here's what to know about #BoycottMulan. Liu Yifei, the lead actress and an american citizen, expressed support for the Hong Kong police on social media. https://t.co/SFQu1WWx9H
Madness.
Four days after 50 UN Special Procedures and after the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and 8 former Special Rapporteurs call out human rights crisis in #HongKong, she speaks at the UN Human Rights Council?

The CCP must be held accountable for their hostile actions towards #HongKong. I am proud to be an original co-sponsor of @SenToomey & @ChrisVanHollen's Hong Kong Autonomy Act, which passed the Senate this week.
@SpeakerPelosi must bring this to the floor next week.
China's continued attacks on Hong Kong's autonomy are unacceptable. The Senate is not standing idly by while Beijing tramples on #Hongkonger's freedom. The #bipartisan consensus we saw yesterday sends a powerful signal to #China: the U.S. is watching.

The Chairs support statement by 50+ @UN independent experts calling for an urgent @UNHumanRights session to evaluate #Chinese govt’s persistent human rights violations & to discuss establishment of UN mechanisms to monitor #HongKong, #Xinjiang, & #Tibet. https://t.co/PHe8Jl7smc
LR @RepMcCaul: "I’m glad to see the Administration begin imposing consequences for the #ChineseCommunistParty's violation of international law and for their destruction of 'one country, two systems.' I look forward to more actions to drive home that the #CCP must change course."
