[Nikki 🇺🇸 🌸 @nikki_miumiu]

The most terrible thing in this video is, the students of #PolyU are using their bodies to resist, throwing back the canisters in the tear gas rain.
Their president is absent and stay quiet, #HongKong gov’t officials do nothing but let the police kill ‘em

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

China’s communist agenda is not wanted. Freedom will ring in Hong Kong. #香港 #FreeHongKong

Are PLA deployed in Hong Kong?

They don't have any authority to act in Hong Kong unless Article 14 of the Basic Law is invoked.

This is an unconstitutional move and another blatant disregard for the rule of law.

Art 14 of Basic Law shows PLA has no power to "voluntarily" help to clear roadblocks set by protesters. It'll not violate the BL only if HK Gov takes the initiative to ask PLA to do so.

If so, it'll be a grave precedent that HK Gov may invite PLA to deal with internal problems.

The Hong Kong protests began in June with one main objective — for the government to withdraw a controversial bill that would have allowed extradition of fugitives to mainland China.

Here's what you need to know about the demonstrations. https://t.co/Vft14vYDMh

Hong Kong’s white-collar workers join the ranks of protesters — Driven by anger at the authorities’ response to massive protests, and guilt that the burden of defending democracy has fallen on the city’s youth, a white-collar rebellion is rippling out

China thinks it can defeat Hong Kong’s protesters. It can’t, @keithrichburg writes in @PostOutlook https://t.co/hBQn6YezgW

Driven by anger at the authorities' response to massive protests - and guilt that the burden of defending democracy has fallen on the city's youth - a white collar rebellion is rippling out across Hong Kong

“This is one of those moments where Britain actually has a responsibility… to defend an agreement between two nations,” says @TomTugendhat on the Hong Kong protests.

He adds “there is no foreign interference”. This is just about protecting the joint declaration

[BREAKING] People's Liberation Army was deployed to clear roadblocks outside HKBU. It's the first time PLA directly involves in HK political event. We must stay cautious that it may be China's salami tactics that China starts using PLA to intervene in HK affairs more directly.

[Uffe Elbæk @uffeelbaek]

This is really breaking (bad) news when it comes to the conflict in Hong Kong. Is this the first step to direct military involvement from China?

Secretary Pompeo: No US response ruled out in Hong Kong https://t.co/OSQFwTeF67

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Beijing’s soldiers in Hong Kong made a rare appearance on the city’s streets to clear protesters’ roadblocks, raising questions about the army’s future role there https://t.co/lxESgEF3wj

Excellent analysis of Hong Kong & its low-level, urban war of attrition by @keithrichburg , a man who knows a thing or two about people power movements in Asia

[Leung Kai Chi 梁啟智 @LeungKaiChiHK]

This is the first poll we have since "Siege of #CUHK". The result is similar to other polls in the last couple of months. Over 80% saying its the gov fault; and around 40% saying it's the protesters' fault. #StandwithHK

[Hong Kong Democracy Council @hkdc_us]

Great news today! @SenatorIsakson from Georgia, @SenSasse from Nebraska, and @SenatorLankford from Oklahoma have co-sponsored #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct

We now have 43 senators from 30 states (co)sponsoring the bill to #StandWithHongKong!

[Secretary Pompeo @SecPompeo]

The hunger for human freedom always prevails, as it did with the fall of the Berlin Wall & the end of apartheid in South Africa. This same hunger is unfolding today in places like Iran, Venezuela, & Hong Kong. Those who long for freedom will triumph.

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

Our #HongKong democracy bill is currently being run through the Senate “hotline”,an expedited process to pass a bill by unanimous consent.

If we can clear it on both sides of the aisle the bill could pass as early as this upcoming week.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

I applaud the Administration for keeping all options open to stand with #HongKong. We must remain vigilant to fight Communist China’s human rights abuses.

In Congress, I continue to urge my colleagues to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act as quickly as possible.

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Thank you @SenatorRisch and @MarcoRubio for your commitment to pass the #HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct in the Senate. It sends a strong message that America stands with the people of Hong Kong.
