On the anniversary of the Joint Declaration, I joined a bipartisan letter to @antonioguterres urging the @UN to raise the issue of China's egregious human rights record & violations of this agreement. #StandWithHongKong#StandwithUyghurs https://t.co/UgrrOnkjzC
Today, 35 years after the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, Sen. Hawley sent a letter to UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres, urging him to raise the issue of China’s human rights violations and its destruction of its documentary records. https://t.co/QDRz9GfMiG
#Breaking#HongKong: Education Bureau announced that 80 teachers were arrested since #HongKongProtests broke out in June. Those arrested - though yet convicted - should be suspended from their duties or even deregistered, Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung told in a presser.
#THREAD HK Education Minister said the authority will adopt harsher measures on teachers arrested and complained in protest-related incidents to “correct mistakes”.
Around 80 teachers were arrested in #HKProtests and 123 complaints on teachers were filed to the Buro.
Hong Kong police freeze the assets of an NGO set up to support legal fees of persecuted demonstrators. The US, Canada, the U.K. (and eventually the EU) should freeze the assets of the Hong Kong police generals who are persecuting demonstrators through the Global Magnitsky Act.

The @globaltimesnews, a propaganda outlet of the Chinese Communist Party, wrote an Op-Ed attacking me for standing up for freedom & democracy.
Yesterday I sent a Letter to the Editor in response. We haven’t heard back. Read it here: https://t.co/fv1k4kS9wY
Sec. Paulson is exactly right. Free enterprise can and will beat #China – as long as the government gets out of the way. In the Senate, I’m focused on reducing barriers to innovation, not building them up.
@MarshaBlackburn@hkdc_us@nathanlawkc@jeffreychngo Thank you Sen Blackburn. Really glad to hear you met the representatives from HK. We appreciate your efforts listening HKers' voice and standing strong with HK. We do need your support fighting against the tyranny.
#StandWithHK
Great to meet with @hkdc_us to receive an update on the ongoing situation in Hong Kong. @nathanlawkc and @jeffreychngo told me about the enthusiasm for American ideals and Democracy in Hong Kong. I stand strong with HK in their fight against Communist China. #StandwithHK#香港

"Beijing has responded to months of demonstrations in Hong Kong not by addressing people’s grievances that their freedoms are being eroded, but instead by claiming that foreign governments were behind the demonstrations." A convenient fiction. https://t.co/bkA5gvPyP1
