President Donald Trump on Nov. 27 signed into law two human rights bills in support of protesters in Hong Kong, the White House said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Last week, both the Senate<\/a> and House<\/a> passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act (S.1838), which would require the United States to review annually Hong Kongs special trading relationship, and pave the way for sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials responsible for human rights violations in the city.<\/p>\n

Congress also passed legislation (S.2710) that would prohibit the export of control equipment to Hong Kong police, who have been accused of using violence and heavy-handed tactics to quell demonstrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI signed these bills out of respect for President Xi, China, and the people of Hong Kong,\u201d Trump said in a statement. \u201cThey are being enacted in the hope that Leaders and Representatives of China and Hong Kong will be able to amicably settle their differences leading to long term peace and prosperity for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, the U.S. Secretary of State is required to certify annually whether Hong Kong is \u201csufficiently autonomous\u201d to justify its special economic status granted under the United States\u2013Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992.<\/p>\n

The Policy Act has allowed the United States to deal with Hong Kong separately from the mainland in matters of trade, investment, and immigration since the city reverted to Chinese rule in 1997. For instance, the city isnt subject to the current U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Act reaffirms and amends the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992, specifies United States policy towards Hong Kong, and direct assessment of the political developments in Hong Kong,\u201d Trump said in another statement.<\/p>\n

Trump said that \u201ccertain provisions of the Act would interfere with the exercise of the Presidents constitutional authority to state the foreign policy of the United States,\u201d and that the U.S. administration will \u201ctreat each of the provisions of the Act consistently with the Presidents constitutional authorities with respect to foreign relations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hong Kong has seen renewed protests after a peaceful day on Nov. 24, when the citys pro-democracy camp scored a landslide victory<\/a> against the pro-Beijing establishment in local elections.<\/p>\n

Responses<\/h2>\n

Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), who introduced the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act in the House, applauded the president for signing the bill, saying that the enactment of the act \u201cmakes it abundantly clear that the Trump Administration, the United States Congress, and the American people stand in solidarity with the people of Hong Kong.\u201d<\/p>\n

He criticized the deteriorating human rights situations in China under the regime, including the \u201cpervasive use of torture,\u201d religious persecution, and \u201cgenocide\u201d against Uyghurs in the Muslim-practising region of Xinjiang.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always believed that every person in China deserves better than the brutality so many endure and the systematic violations of their universally recognized human rights,\u201d he said in a statement. He said that the new law would pave the way for \u201cstrong sanctions \u2026 for the crackdown and abuse of power.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cXi Jin[p]ing should understand that the US is not kidding about human rights. Beating, torturing, and jailing of democracy activists is wrong and this hRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
