Thank you America. Beijing will not care about rule of law and autonomy of HK. Pls continue to StandWithHongKong, bring CCP accountable. “That promise has been broken, but this is not the end. We will continue to make a home out of an imperfect place.”

law_harrod That’s interesting when he called for States in the US to crush freedom of speech protests at home 🤔

My mom and I were relieved when we heard that the President will soften the limitation on refugee immigration policy for HongKongers

Thank you USA and President Trump! Let’s hope that Hong Kong can be truly liberated in near future! standwithHK

Great 👍

Main Stream Media...barely mentioning this very important Bill. All they print and show is Democratic Party Propaganda. This Bill is a great move by President Trump!

Thanks US. This evil and dictatorial law, and CCP are destroying freedom, human right, economic and 1 country 2 systems of Hong Kong. And CCP can control all investment is HK. However, We will not give up. standwithhongkong HongKongPoliceTerriosm youcantstopus

This is really good news👍 Thank the United States for defending human rights and freedoms🙏

Thank you U.S. support freedom. The justice will stand with free world. Stop CCP threat and erodes us. StandWithHongKong NationalSecurityLaw ChinaMustFall

Encouraging

Another well done to Mr. Trump and the USA on this very important issue. Other democratic countries MUST UNITE in their efforts to distance themselves from China, in trade and diplomacy; encourage their businesses to find trade in other countries & ban China's politicians visits.

Now that CCP has mainlandized Hong Kong to be just another city of China, surely there is no reason to treat HK differently?

Glad to see that. HongKong is totally off and become the NewWestBerlin after the NationalSecurityLaw.. The CCP destroyed the SINO-BRITISH JOINT DECLARATION already. OneCountryTwoSystemIsDead. HongKongers, even all in HK will suffer in that law. StandWithHongKong

The irony.

BretBaier He hated to sign that. He supported the action not that long ago.

Fuck china. HongKong HongKongProtests StandwithHongKong china PoliceBrutality

Those gang members have multiple ID & fake passports for shifting their wealth..

Why we do not sanction officials who crack down on residents' right to free speech and peaceful assembly in the Philippines, Singapore, S Korea, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia?

Mix feeling: sad & happy! We stand with HongKong people!

Trump 老賊,enemy of Chinese people!

Thank you US!! No matter how oppressive NSL is, we would never give up to fight for freedom and democracy that we are born to have.

BretBaier Is there anything trump can stay out of? Doesn't look like it.

Yoshita_Singh Great news. Hope President Trump will take concrete actions instead of just signing it. Gud mrng Yoshita_Singh

Hong Kong index climbed today 😂

Looking forward to seeing some real sanctions against Carrie Lam & co!

Excellent. Thank you America for leading the step to sanction CCP officials who crack down on freedom & autonomy in Hong Kong. CCP must be held accountable for violating int'l treaty and human rights. StandWithHongKong

Like those sanctions would actually do any damage😂 I like how he makes a weak action out to be a tough one and how some of his supporters actually buy that🤣 Might be the same group of ppl who believe flat earth & COVID is non-existent.

Thank you America to stand up to China, for Hong Kong, for human rights and freedom.

Thank you for signing the bill It's an example showing how China suppress freedom in HongKong Hope you could StandWithHongKong by supporting that

That's great to end the special treatment to Hong Kong, CCP has use this to benefit for too long

Correct me if I'm wrong. Last month wasn't 45 involved with a photo op where he was holding a Bible where a group of peaceful protesters engaging in free speech had been forcibly removed. Maybe I just imagined it.

Never seen him having such quick and intensive political responses to BLM movement and coronavirus. He’s totally incompetent who only gets high on his China and business sht, a flunky of plutocracy.

Thank you America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Racist

Oh good now do your own admin

We HongKongers thank you for that! Sanctioning hk wil definitely hurt 🇨🇳 and I can’t wait to see this evil regime crumble.

Tu devrais le faire au Canada nos droits sont bafoués.

He needs to stick his nose .hete in America and clean his side of the street before putting his nose in foreign affairs..

A great news for Hongkongers. Thank you President Trump for standing up to CCP’s tyranny. CCP is the biggest triad to the world. They must bare the consequences for bullying Hong Kong. StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong

That’s funny he should have signed one for the peaceful protestors at the White House

Sign a sanction on US officials to protect US residents’ free speech then!

SamWong03297283 Great news! Sanction now!

Should be earlier.

Only President Trump Would Stand Up To The Chinese Communist Party. Great Job Mr President 👏

It is encouraging to see the US stand up to the authoritarian regime!! FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong

Great move SIR! Can’t lent China take any more advantages from HongKong while abusing it ! FreeHongKong StandWithHongKong

Good job! Trump 2020!

How awful! How dare Trump promote free speech! I have heard relentlessly that he is a dictator fascist! What’s wrong here?

Everyone is the comments is deranged. Congratulations journalists, your task is complete. You broke them all.

Weak. Fire them or resign!

NeoNazi!

BretBaier China sounds like the Democrat party.

Way to go! Now get rid of antifa and blm - both international racist terrorist organizations. Trump 2020 👍

Pompeo: 'The US won't 'stand idly by' as the Chinese carries out human rights abuses' 139K U.S. Covid dead as Trump & GOP 'stand idly by' watching us die & DEMAND we throw our kids in the GOP bonfire IS NOT human rights abuse? GOP HYPOCRITE KILLERS😡

Ted Cruz liked this.

Yeah he just announced that they will treat Hong Kong as a full part of China. Most likely to Tariffs us(Americans) for Hong Kong goods

Great, now please Mr. President promulgate laws to forbid cancel culture and no-platforming in the US, protect free speech and stop people from getting fired for voicing an opinion that is in disagreement with the leftist mob FirstTheyCame

BretBaier OMG what a racist

thank you !

Anything on Russia?

BretBaier He signed into “law” or an “executive order”?

Oh, the irony!

GREAT NEWS! ACT ON SANCTIONS

Correto

Every time realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr speaks I make money in stock market. You know why? Because it’s pro business ! We have confidence in someone who has our back. The left stabs you in back!

Trump is so weak on China.

Now do Americans who do the same.

Stand up to the evils of the Communist Party

Great news. Hope President Trump will take concrete actions instead of just signing it.

He’s not a man of conviction. He makes decisions based off of a few factors, but never based off of morals or ethics. That’s why he’s inconsistent. Just like that time he said, “MAGA loves black people”. He was so off base. No one showed up to the rally he was trying to pander.

realDonaldTrump

Can we get that in the U.S.?

How can he create a sanction when He’s doing the same thing in our country?

Ouch America has no sense of irony 🙈😂🤷🏾‍♀️

RUSSIAN BOUNTY ON US SOLDIERS yes Putin’s PUPPET?🤔🤔

Trump doing a campaign speech and not talking about what the crisis is in America. Why? He failed America and is so unfit. We have shortages in hospitals and 136,000 Americans dead. Surge in cases and many dying. Lose Trump with a no vote for this selfish idiot.

The irony is real but at least this is a step forward for Hong Kong. FreeHongKong HongKong

What a JOKE! Nothing for America’s Pandemic- what a clueless looser!

Trump turned this into a campaign appearance. Joe Biden ralled his afternoon today.

Great news

Wait, what❓🥴

How about allowing free.speech and peaceful assembly in the USA

Wait what? Isn't there an investigation against this President for the exact damn thing? Tear gas..for a photo..ring a bell

What a clown!

Oh the Irony 🙄🙄🙄

irony
