Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, a lead sponsor, said in the Senate the legislation would send a clear message to Beijing that there would be consequences if it acts to undermine Hong Kong’s autonomy

“This could be our last opportunity to stay Beijing’s hand before it destroys what is left of freedom in the city,” said Republican Senator Josh Hawley, another sponsor.

The delay underscored how complicated it can be to pass legislation pushing back on China, as the administration pursues a trade deal with Beijing and the two powerful countries grapple for international influence and clash over human rights.

Tks US to pass HongKongAutonomyAct to sanction relevant ppl & org who support CCP brutally breach binding treaty. CCP steps up oppression & interferes judicial Independence of HK. Police brutality is still unaccountable. US leads this freedom fight.

As if US could actually do better than HK. I can’t breath.

nationalsecuritylaw deprived freedom and human rights of local and foreigners in Hong Kong. It’s timely action towards China undermining Hong Kong autonomy completely! China is waiting for retaliation on western countries by this law!

It’s a great news. Hong Kong is in dire need of international counter measures to the CCP, national security law signifies the end of Hong Kong, the end of 1 country 2 systems. Please help Hong Kong to fight against the authoritarian regime, to protect freedom.

Thank you very much the United States for your help and support to Hong Kong people💪 Human rights and freedom are the most precious🍻
