This shows just antagonizing PR China (like Iran) is bipartisan. Nothing like selling weapons to stimulate the economy

Can't thank you enough, America! FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong

Three in one...

Thk for US Senate! NationalSecurityLaw will seriously violate the safety & freedom of HongKongers & 85,000 American. Mr Kovrig＆Mr Spavor'case will be repeated in HongKong. Then, CCP will use this to deal with disobedience from US. It’s time to stop the CCP’s further threats.

juicy73869081 The CCP fabricated lies, suppressed human rights, controlled religion, slaughtered, bribed, no credit, theft, infiltration, fake negotiations, signed false contracts, control and monopoly. The correct way to treat the CCP is to list the CCP as an extreme terrorist organization.

juicy73869081 National sovereignty is not the sovereignty of which organization or which party. The CCP is an organization. Therefore, CCP organizations cannot enjoy international sovereignty. The international community can impose various punishments on this CCP organization.

Who cares about HK?

As if the sanctions will do anything

Thank you all the Senators for StandWithHongKong. HongKong must become NewWestBerlin after NationalSecurityLaw. OneCountryTwoSystemsIsDead. Hope US can sanction those devils whose raping HongKongers. MagnitskyAct

The CCP has proven time & again that it can't be trusted & cares nothing for the rules of the intl order. Such as Sino-British Joint Declaration.

Freedom, human rights, and moral must be put over money. Please StandWithHongKong

Other countries should also follow the actions like this as well. Let’s us stop CCP’s aggression and infiltration!! antichinazi

Thank you Senator for StandWithHongKong and please come with action! boycottchina AntiChinazi chinamustfall

Thank you all Congress & Americans upholding the core values. StandWithHongKong Autonomy Bipartisan

RisingBlackSun_ Thank you for US (Mr. President, Congress & HK supporters). Hong Kong-related bills form a great toolbox for defending the democracy of HK as well as the world against China Communist Party.

As HongKongers, I am devastated to see CCPChina taking all liberties of HongKong away with the CCPSecurityLaw . It is great to see that firm actions are taken by the UnitedStates to sanction CCPChina.

Under this law,the freedom of HongKongers could totally be destroyed Until now,we still have not seen the draft of nationalsecuritylaw ,while China keep claiming that we should accept it

Tks US to pass HongKongAutonomyAct to sanction relevant ppl & org who support CCP brutally breach binding treaty. CCP steps up oppression & interferes judicial Independence of HK. Police brutality is still unaccountable. US leads this freedom fight.

People and companies shouldn't trade human rights and morals for money, it's time to let them realize this

Thank you, Senators. God bless America.

Making the right decision! Showing CCP that human rights and democracy should be and remain to be the core value of the world. HK ppl are not alone in FightForFreedom . All those supporting the CCPSecurityLaw MUST be held responsible! StandWithHongKong

hongkong is being erased by ccpchina in terms of HumanRights & FreedomOfSpeech ! National security law is another tool for hkpolicebrutality !

Some good news finally !

Thank you for standing with Hong Kongers. Hong Kongers appreciate the great effort and look foward to a sanction plan.

The Chinese Government is trying to erase one country two systems. Concrete sanction against China is necessary for maintaining freedom and human rights.

Now do the US under excessive police enforcement

It's heartening US takes care of world citizens rights even better than it's own. Thanks Trump.

A country warned by the World Human Rights Organization to make laws to protect the human rights of people in other countries. Isn't that silly?

TRUE: The bill, which aims to defend CIA of work in the Hong Kong and pressure China to preserve its special status, passed by unanimous consent.

We should critique ourselves first. We have treason, sedition and insurrection laws. Other countries aren’t entitled to them too?

Great

While black human rights are crushed in USA?

Have they got black people shooted and killed by the police in Hong Kong?

the world needs to sanction America for its corruption and police violence

They won’t pass a bill to protect human rights here in the US?

Because we don't have enough problems already....

Thank you US Senate for the HongKongAutonomyAct & StandWithHongKong SanctionCCP

Very grateful for the bipartisan effort in passing the Hong Kong Autonomy Act! I am sure that it will send a strong message to ccpChina that they will be punished for their clampdown on hkers’ democratic movement! standwithHK

This evil and dictatorial law, and CCP are destroying freedom, human right, economic and 1 country 2 systems of Hong Kong. However, We will not give up. standwithhongkong HongKongPoliceTerriosm youcantstopus

Call for global sanctions on China! HongKong HongKongProtests China StandWithHongKong protest PoliceBrutality

Sanctions are exclusive domain of US. No country except US can sanction another country.

StandWithHongKong

Great! Evil CCP should learn a lesson that they should keep their promises in international agreements!

Thank you Thank you and Thank you StandWithHongKong BoycottChina

Letting China continue to ramp up its repression in surrounding areas jeapodizes US’s strategic and trade partners like Japan, SE Asia, Taiwan. The authoritarian grip can easily span into the pacific

Economic success does not bring China any closer to democracy. It has empowered the communist party which is trying to change the rules how the world works. Stop it before it is too late.

wolcenisfinish Hope President Trump will sign the bill as soon as possible. Delay no more. The draconian NSL will be passed at the end of June. It will put all foreign investors in HK dangerous

Sanctioning those who act against universal human rights in HongKong and CCPChina officials shows America is upholding its core values, like freedom, democracy and human rights And it setting an example for the West to follow suit

A small step.

StandWithHongKong! The world should united to stand with freedom and democracy SanctionChina CCP_is_terrorist

This policy of the US actively sanctioning other nations is causing many nations to rebel against this system. Look for more countries to de-dollarize their economies. I have never seen sanctions policy abused like this before. This must have other nations very concerned.

This is a great bill that should be signed into a law ASAP. China is to be blamed for the Pandemic of the Coronavirus as well as the destruction of millions of job resulting from unfair trade treaties. Buy American and avoid Chinese goods. BoycottChina

China ain't go like this

...human rights？Like BLM ？

they must of forgot a little fact that HK is part of china.

The US needs Canada (who has 2 of their citizens unfairly jailed in China) and other allies to join in.

Phase 2 of the trade deal?
