WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed four pieces of legislation taking a hard line on China, three related to pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong and one commending Canada in its dispute over the extradition of a Chinese telecom executive.
One of the measures, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, would require the U.S. secretary of state to certify every year that Hong Kong retained its autonomy in order to keep receiving the special treatment that has allowed it to be a major financial center. “China must take effective measures to firmly safeguard its sovereignty, security, and development interests,” ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement.
The Hong Kong government expressed regret over the passage of the legislation and reiterated that foreign legislatures should not interfere in the city’s internal affairs. The United States has accused Huawei of stealing American intellectual property and violating Iran sanctions. Many Republican and Democratic members of Congress say they view the company as a security threat.Hong Kong has been rocked by at times violent protests over concerns Beijing is tightening its grip on the former British colony and eroding its democratic system.

Yes, about time. They’ve 🇭🇰 been 🇭🇰waiting on the 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 to say something, anything supportive.
Here come all the Chinese trolls with their “ how dare you criticize our horrific human rights record and oppression of peoples” nonsense.
Can you imagine their reaction had China passed a series of measures lending support to Californian demonstrators protesting against the US gov on environmental laws as just one example. There would be absolute condemnation.
Habrá que prestar apoyo a los demócratas de EEUU para que se acaben estas injerencias sobre otros países........y que la ONU no condena, porque aún no es democrática.
The U.S. House will not be bending backwards for Xi.

I wonder how Congress. would react if China were the meddle in America's internal affairs.
Great 👍
people in Iraq，Afghan and Libya, what will they say about American so called human rights. Isn't it ridiculous? Do these congressmen and women ever get shamed？
😄 hardline over Cn? China hasn't done a thing. The rioters are destroying HK. Police are trying to restore order against violent terrorists.
This is China's internal affairs, why does the us interfere?
RIDICULOUS
US couldn't extradite Edward Snowden who took refuge in HK. Have US remedied it with an Extradition Bill?
Clear the way to crush these traitor.

SpeakerPelosi thank you for your leadership in forcing China to address its Hong Kong human rights issues. It was long overdue. People over Profits! cnn msnbc foxnews
the US supports the riot fuck it.
In other words, democrats condemned actions like nba's prochina stance
Trump will veto the bill if China helps his campaign.
Fuck the United States. Does Hong Kong have anything to do with the United States? Start a war everywhere. I think it's best to do another 911.
The US have no right to interfere in China's internal affairs.
The USA should always side with those seeking freedom and democracy.
US HOUSE对自己的总统都搞不定，还给别人划红线

Hong Kong's wealth distribution is not fair and there is no freedom! You should learn from them! Gather the poor and occupy New York Airport! Make America great again! The people of Hong Kong are with you! Let's fight together.
Trump will bow to China's demands and veto the bill. Unless China helps his campaign.
Our core values: freedom of speech/ press/ assembly should be protected. We also need to work hard to prevent NBA incident to happen in USA again. CCP is affecting American in many ways! Ban Huawei and other China tech pls! Censorship America HongKong
Hey TulsiGabbard! Did you NOT want the US to be the World Police? Nothing to say on this? Then again, you had nothing to say on the HK Protests either, when actual Dems have.
