U.S. Senate passes Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019


Here are highlights of the speeches delivered by selected senators, all addressing the crisis in Hong Kong and the threat of China to freedom and democracy:

Marco Rubio, R-Florida:
“I hope the people of Hong Kong know that they have served as an inspiration to the World.”

Bob Menendez, D-New Jersey:
"Time is of the essence...People are being shot. Universities are being burned...This is not the Hong Kong that anyone wants to see. The vibrancy of Hong Kong...should inspire all of us."

Rick Scott, R-Florida:
“It’s Hong Kong now, then it'll be Taiwan...Is this the next Tiananmen Square?

Josh Hawley, R-Missouri:
"To those trapped inside PolyU...what you are doing has moved this body. What you are doing is changing the world."

Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee:
"We are standing with them [people of Hong Kong] ...it's important to know that China has really earned its place as the world's most notorious human rights violator."

"We know what their [China] ambitions are... to dominate Hong Kong, to dominate Taiwan, to dominate the surrounding region... and eventually to dominate internationally…[and what’s happening in Hong Kong] serves as a reminder of the horrors, horrors of authoritarian rule."

Ted Cruz, R-Texas:
"The people in Hong Kong are engaged in an existential battle for liberty!”

Charles Schumer, D-New York:
"Xi, your suppression of freedom in Hong Kong or Northwest China will not stand!"

"History has shown that always fails, Xi ... the Chinese system will either change, or fail!"

May Glory to Hong Kong

"Many of them are very young people who are risking their very lives, taking to the streets, standing for democracy, standing for the promises that were made to them by Beijing many years ago and fighting for them now, putting everything on the line."

---U.S. Senator Josh Hawley spoke in the Senate before the passage of the Hong Kong Democracy and Human Rights Act on Nov 19 (Washington; HKT Nov20)

German Exchange Students Expressed Support for Hong Kong Protests: We cannot prioritize economic gain over humanitarian concern

On November 14 in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong police arrested many, among which two are exchange students from Germany.

One of them told a German Press that he had always been attentive to the happenings in Hong Kong. Right before the arrest, he was heading to a restaurant with the other German student. They put on face masks soon after the police discharged a huge amount of tear gas. The next minute they were surrounded and then arrested by the police, who intimidated them by wielding batons and accused them of hurling molotov cocktails.

Although the two reinterated that they were not protestors but exchange students from Germany, the police ignored their statement and had them interrogated for hours during detention. Police even cheered and celebrated for having arrested foreign students. The student interviewed bought his airticket to return to Germany once he was bailed.

He believed that it was fortunate for him to be born an European. Meanwhile, it is essential for Europe to shoulder responsibility for Hong Kong's situation. "We cannot prioritize economic gain over humanitarian concern."
