Legislation To Recognize Hong Kong as a separate, Independent Country is Introduced in the US Congress on 22-May 2020. Congressman Rep Scott Perry who is serving Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District (PA-10) introduced legislation to stand with the people of Hong Kong and support their fight for freedom and democracy.

Introducing the Legislation, Rep Scott Perry said, “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.”

Checking on the US Congress website congress.gov and searching for H.R. 6947 we can see the Legislation listed as H.R.6947 – To authorize the President to recognize the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China as a separate, independent country, and for other purposes. The latest action on the Bill as “House – 05/19/2020 Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.”

During a meeting of the National People’s Congress in Beijing this week, the CCP proposed an expansive national security law for Hong Kong – to ban subversion of CCP power, secession, foreign influence, and terrorism. The law is the latest attack on Hong Kong’s independence by Mainland China, and a further erosion of Hong Kong’s freedoms and autonomy. Last year, Hong Kong experienced six months of mass protest over a bill that would’ve allowed for the arrest and extradition of Hong Kong residents and foreign visitors to Mainland China.

“An attack on Hong Kong’s freedoms is an attack on democracy and independence across the world. The United States cannot tolerate a further erosion of Hong Kong’s rights, and we’ll continue to lead the international community in condemning China’s actions,” said Perry.

Perry is a senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and serves on the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and Nonproliferation. The Hong Kong Freedom Act awaits consideration by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Points to Ponder

China has interfered in internal affairs of many nations for its gains including attempts to topple different nationalist government, helping opposition parties and anti-nationals to create chaos in other countries, bribing the government officers, pocketing journalists. On the other hand, Imperialist Communist China has invaded Tibet, oppressed Uighur Muslims, Tibetans, Residents of Hong Kong. Will the atrocities of the Fascist Communist CCP end?

Will the Democrats help the republicans and unanimously pass this legislation? Or will the Democrats be bought by China for funds to be used in 2020 US elections?

How far China can interfere in the US elections to defeat US President Donald Trump so that all the legislation against China can be defeated by the Chinese Loyalists in the US Congress.
