"China's tightening grip around Hong Kong to strangle democracy is a desperate act of a brutal authoritarian regime. For months now, the people of Hong Kong have taken to the streets to stand up for their democratic rights. The American people must continue to stand with them."
"Arresting dissenters is not a sign of strength--only weakness & fear. The Chinese Communist Party has broken its promise to the people of Hong Kong & has shown it does not respect fundamental human rights.

"When the Senate returns, @SenateMajLdr McConnell should quickly bring up for debate & vote on the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act. This is bipartisan legislation that will send a clear message to President Xi."
