Comprehensive Hong Kong Bill with Portions of Curtis Legislation Sails Through Committee

Press Release

Today, Representatives John Curtis (R-UT), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the China Task Force, released the following statement after the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted unanimously in support of the Hong Kong People's Freedom and Choice Act, a comprehensive bill that includes language from Congressman Curtis's Hong Kong Safe Harbor Act. Since the passage of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, we have seen arbitrary detentions of activists and crackdowns on their free press. This bill addresses this humanitarian crisis and shows Hong Kongers that the United States has their backs in their struggle for basic freedoms and liberty," said Curtis. "I commend my colleague, Rep. Malinowski, for working to advance legislation to help those in need, which includes my language to give Hong Kongers expedited refugee status to come to the United States."
