WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of US senators has told the Trump administration that they are concerned about whether US export controls are strong enough to prevent China from getting sensitive American technology through Hong Kong.

The document is signed by Senators Jim Risch and Bob Menendez, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Senators Mike Crapo and Sherrod Brown, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee. It is also signed by Republican Senators Cory Gardner, Marco Rubio, and Pat Toomey, and Democratic Senators Ed Markey, Ben Cardin and Jack Reed.

Members of Congress are adding objections to China's use of technology to suppress dissent as protests rock Hong Kong. "China is using these technologies not only to bolster its own industries, but also to advance its military capabilities and to infringe on the fundamental liberties of its citizens."
