Perry Introduces Legislation Supporting Hong Kong’s Democracy and Freedom f t # Washington, May 22, 2020 Congressman Scott Perry (PA-10) introduced legislation to stand with the people of Hong Kong and support their fight for freedom and democracy. “This week, the people of Hong Kong experienced the greatest attack on their freedoms and autonomy since 1997, with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) introduction of a far-reaching national security law – which is nothing more than another attempt to oppress the citizens of Hong Kong in order to preserve CCP’s power in Beijing. China’s actions are wholly unacceptable, and violate the very foundation of the Sino-British Declaration and the “one party, two systems” principle. The CCP is breaking its own legal agreement, and my legislation, the Hong Kong Freedom Act, will authorize the United States government to respond. America will continue to support the people of Hong Kong and their quest for absolute freedom and democracy,” said Perry. H.R. 6947 – the Hong Kong Freedom Act - authorizes the President of the United States to recognize Hong Kong as a separate, independent country. |

No need to be emotional, we're here to discuss things in a civilized manner. Whether the bill eventually passes or fails, Beijing leaders will deal with it. and a friendly remind, no swear word is allowed in this forum.
I got $BABA 06/05 220c in huge risk if this Bill passes. Hope Xi and Trump sort this mess up asap. Thank god hongkong exchange ended in green today.
Look at this headline from the right wing paper the Express (with its own pathetic slogan, "the sword is mightier with the pen").
All bravado for It's own populace consumption (It make them feel good that they are helping the trodden mentality) at the same time stick a knife in the big bad China narratives!
BUT, if we look through the attention grabbing headline. Can you imagine Britain doing this? From the right wingers who hates everything foreign?
The last time they have to let a large group of " foreigners" in was the 1970s when Uganda kicked out all British (proper, none of this BNO rubbish) passport holders. And Britain was "forced and shamed" under obligation to assist and bring all British passport holders "home". They were heated debates in Parliament, and protest on the street led by leading political figures from the Conservative party that the British should not be obliged to take these "foreigners" (Never mind the fact they are FULL British passport holders)!
So imagine the uproar and political backlash, especially after Brexit already having stirred up of hatred of anything foreign. Coupled with the facts these Hong Kongers are BNO and not fully British. Meaning Britain is not under any obligation (unlike last time with Uganda) to take any of these Hong Kongers in!
Britain ready to welcome Hong Kong refugees
BORIS JOHNSON has a secret plan to allow hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens to come to Britain if China clamps down further on the former British colony.
