‘Hong Kong, the only enclave of freedom in China, is being eclipsed by tear gas, rubber bullets, live rounds, police brutality and torture; but still Hongkongers march on.’

@SarahChampionMP With unchecked power of the #HKPoliceTerrorists , HK is already a police state. The so called NSL just turns HK to an ordinary China city

The US has made it clear that we stand with #HongKongers. These sanctions are authorized under my amendment to the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act and reaffirm the US will not tolerate any human rights violations by the Chinese Communist Party.

We came together as a nation to say we #StandWithHongKong. Now we need to follow through. America must welcome citizens of Hong Kong fleeing China’s oppressive rule and continued human rights violations.
Spoke passionately this week in the Senate about using the Magnitsky Act in dealing with China over the situation in Hong Kong and the Muslim minority in China. #HongKong

NEW — The Senate has passed Senator Josh Hawley's resolution condemning #China proposed national security law that would violate treaty commitments and erase the basic liberties and human rights promised to #HongKong.
Senator Van Hollen & @SenateDems just demanded we pass a bill to force President Trump to take action against the Chinese Communist Party for violating Hong Kong's independence.
Proud to say it passed. I've been fighting for this. I won't stop fighting.

Important vote today in Senate. We passed the bill @SenToomey and I introduced to let the government of China know: We stand with the people of #HongKong and if Beijing continues to extinguish their democratic freedoms, it will pay a price.
I look forward to working with my #House colleagues in getting this legislation passed immediately to ensure the #CCP is held accountable for its actions. #China
Happy to see the Senate pass sanctions on those responsible for undermining #HongKong’s autonomy in conjunction with efforts I'm leading in the House w/ @repSherman. https://t.co/CMIn12MJmj
