WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed into law congressional legislation backing protesters in Hong Kong in spite of angry objections from Beijing, with which he is seeking a deal to end a damaging trade war.
Fcuk Beijing’s objections!
President Trump not only makes Amercia great again, but possible help HongKong achieve the same too! StandwithHK HKprotests
Is this the first thing he does that is right? Too bad he’s created so much divise and hate back home.
badiucao The best Thanksgiving girt ever
Trump had no choice, Congress made him sign it. If he didn’t, they had enough votes to override the veto. He didn’t want to bc of the trade war with China.
Classic west imposing their ways of life...not that i dont support but lets call it what it is. Imagine if we had a territory wanting a communist regime and China interfering just saying
Glad to see that Beijing has been so frivolously upset and offended with the U.S.🇺🇸progressive movement to sanction the communist criminals and challenge their totalitarian governing and expansion.
One country two systems is dead RuleOfLawsoshk
Poor hk people you are just bullets of America
Thank you for giving HKers a great news while Carrie Lam's suppression on human rights escalates. Tonight, HKers gather peacefully in Tsim Sha Tsui to support innocent students in PolyU. They're imprisoned illegally by HK brutal police on campus. StandwithHK
It’s a strong message to CCP. CCP and Hong Kong government need to restrain the police and meet our demands for freedom and democracy.
Wonder what’s really behind the HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct .... let’s follow the money for a second. Oops— Dang it. Slavery? Really?!? really
Thank you for standing with HK
Trump acted wisely and has done the right thing, upholding our values, while at the same time strengthening our hand in trade negotiations by reminding China that it needs a new trade deal more than we do.
Peaceful protesters must be protected right? The US loves democracy right? How dare other countries behave like the US?
👏👏👏 what a wonderful and selfless act. What a short memory America has. Because the items that are banned for export were deployed against US citizens by thier own government during the Occupy protests. US police have been militarized since. Yay freedom. Yay America. Lies.
You ALWAYS have to throw in just AT LEAST a little nip don’t you ?!?! Y’all are like little ankle biters ...nip nip nip
When president trump did more than blizzard
Nice of Trump to support the remnants of British Colonialism in Hong Kong.
Great news for Hong Kong to soon become the second Ukraine and the poorest area in Asia...
God bless those protesters and may they win this war against oppression. Having said that? He’ll sign a piece of paper saying he backs them, but will deny them political asylum immigration in a heartbeat...so no, not applauding this.
We object to Beijing flooding our country with Fentanyl
Mi sembra il minimo sindacale.
Expectation: 'Stop being a tough guy Xi, quit it with the karate stuff, call me xoxo' Reality: Normal and reasonable statement coming from the President!?
Not sure how this helps Hong Kong but good!!! 👐👐👐👐
Thank you for StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom and plz take a look, how the police treated the first aider , they broke his hand
simonf8113 Our honor to have support from America, thanks for standing with us with conscience
Hong Kong is China, do never forget it.
The US supports terrorists that they created? Imagine my shock.
While the deadliest mass anti-government protests in Iraq remains silent to the rest of the world, why is it ok for the world to see innocent Iraqis die for the past 16 years? is it religious or is it oil related?
Well, there goes his China trade deal...again. The question is, is president trump doing to run out of bullets before he runs out of feet to shoot himself in?
Thank you America ! Thank you for support❣❣KEEP FIGHTING 💪 (Glory to HK MV) (MV with Eng subtitles) HongKongers hongkongprotests SOSHK 手足互科勞

Trump thanks 🙏 democracy save hk 😇
Not a fan of Trump, but he did well here.
That gives the perfect excuse to Beijing to proceed the same way against US interests in USA. US Police brutality is famous for shooting first and then asking to dead; mostly against black population. US is famous for destroying by cold blood murder the Indian Nation.
Another favor.
So when does the market start peddling phase 2 optimism
only to disrupt the relation between China and the US..nothing good for HK actually......American LIE to hongkonger.
Thank you！🙏
Thank you USA for the strong support. FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong

It is grateful that the bill is passed, yet HK people are still suffering from HKPoliceTerrorism and CCP . HK is now a city of tear gas and HKPoliceBrutality . Many were arrested, hurt, and dead which is why 5DemandsNotOneLess is vital

When are we going to have violent protests in America supported by the rest of the world
Good
One step closer to becoming a colony again. Old habits die hard.
These people want Democracy!

hhhkkk852 Thank you Americans for StandWithHongKong ! It's the best Thanksgiving gift to Hongkongers ever ! GODBLESSHONGKONG HKHRDA
How many times will China tolerate U.S. meddling before they decide to crack down hard is the question . By doing this they're giving protesters a green light to openly start a revolution in Hong Kong which the Chinese will not tolerate . This won't end well for anyone .
Good. Dog/cat killing, animal human abusing, polluting, technology stealing China CAN GO TO HELL! I wish we never traded w/ these evil globalist fascist communists.
Not sure he has that power ..I am confused by this move ..so how do we back protesters exactly are we sending troops or care packages 🤔
Where’s Trevornoah when you need him
Yeah!

Greattt news😭😭😭 Thank you for the support 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💛💛💛🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
I'm waiting for the Democrats and main stream media to manipulate and twist this into another anti-Trump, orange man bad thing. Seems every single thing Trump does, draws criticism from the loopy left, regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
Happy thanksgiving！！！
If US politicians determined to play HongKong card against China, surely it will pass. It just speeds up Hong Kong's decline.
How is this constitutional
The Act is only useful if the right ppl are sanctioned, if sanctions have teeth, and if StateDept’s review reports are fair. SenateForeign must continue to follow up to protect US investments and citizens here. Dun let any US citizen become another SimonCheng. StandwithHK
Good
Thank you America and Happy Thanksgiving to all Freedom Fighters! ❤️
No. This is can never end well.
Thank you, Mr. President!! letfreedomring
To destroy the Chinese Communist Party, we must walk with God! No one can stop this situation now! Thanks to the American people for their support of Hong Kong
Obama would’ve implemented “Strategic Patience”
What will he do when some foreign nation passes a similar law to support those in the US who oppose their oppressive federal government? 🤨
Power to the Hong Kongers, fuck the CCP!

lam_chau_bar Thank you Americans for making this happen! Democracy, freedom, justice and human rights should stay beyond money. If we lose these core values, why we are still calling us human?! We are just pigs if we allow such an evil party, CCP, to rule the world.
What a good news StandWithHongKong
Trump is a genius

I hope everybody can see clear to what exactly is going to happen next and if you don’t I’m about to tell you the Chinese government is going to bring a heavy hammer down on Hong Kong and This bill is the catalyst to that action
Holy shit he signed it! 👏👏👏 StandWithHongKong
Thank you America! Today is a win for human rights and democracy. We will keep on fighting.
Its just lip service, America can't write laws for Hong Kong

Badass!!
Cue the left calling the Hong Kong protestors terrorists or cultists or some other radical term.
4D Check Mate 🤣
Dear Reuters journalists , photographers and staff , Thanks a lot for reporting the news in this hard moments in Hong Kong. All the best👍👍
risky decision steps - position, business, friendship - next?
I ❤️ the idea, but can we really expect the Hong Kong/Chinese gov't 2 comply w/ this writ willingly? Y wouldn't they simply ignore it? R we 2 go 2 war to save these protesters? I'm not against this idea, but I worry about the response of the UN. Not that I care, normally, but....
bbb
M.
What this proves is McConnell and the GOP can apply pressure to call on Donald to pass legislation but Mitch and GOP DONT WANT TO. •Election security, blocked 12 times •Gun safety legislation, they are owned by the NRA You name it, they do not care bc not passing it helps them.
Thank you !!
Hell yeah...
Wow. He did one thing right.
I wonder if American protestors will get the same considerations.
iScapeSomeTimes how’s the left gonna twist this?
LMAO!!!
That’s actually great news! Now if only PeeOTUS would take his own advise and not incite violence at MAGAT rallies
Cue the Chinese kompromat on Trump
Fight for democracy is a global issue. 🇺🇸 willingness to support Hong Kongers shows that the free world can stand up for people fighting for democracy and human rights all over the world. May all people be liberated from oppression 🙏🏼

Thank you for making it happen! Have been waiting for today so long. Really wish from the bottom of my heart that the Act can really help Hong Kong relieve the ongoing humanitarian crisis and playing a role in our fight for freedom & democracy.
Great news! Without the work of Hong Kong people and advocates around the world, HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct would not be signed! Now it’s the time to fight for 5DemandsNot1Less!
Double standard.
don’t you support to the independent of Catalunya ?
TheTrumpPage1 THANK YOU TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Oh lord finally
He could not care less about HK protesters. He just wants to push Xi. If Xi moves on the deal, then he will do a 180 and condemn the protesters and compliment Xi's way of dealing with those ______(insert any trump insult).
Finally Trump did a right thing for the first time
Thank you America!! This means ao much to us! Thanks for supporting hongkong and set a good example to the world how to protect the universal values of freedom and democracy against Chinese aggression. StandWithHongKong
