"The people of Hong Kong are demonstrating for the freedoms and autonomy that have made their city a global success. Beijing should pause before threatening a key engine of its growth and provoking the international community."

"The world is awakening to China's abusive practices, from domestic oppression to pursuit of hegemony abroad. China's trading partners, including the U.S, should make it clear that any crackdown in Hong Kong would have real and painful costs."

"I wrote the Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992, which extended special privileges to Hong Kong because of its unique status. Beijing must know the Senate will reconsider those privileges if Hong Kong's autonomy is eroded."
