“像我的許多同事一樣,我在本週末觀看了香港的照片,不禁被這個大都市的居民所感動。他們正在採取大膽的立場,以維護香港對中國的自治,並進而捍衛自己的自由。上週末,超過一百萬居民 - 大約十分之一的居民 - 走上街頭抗議一項法案草案,該法案將允許香港人被引渡到中國大陸。

“香港居民正確地將這一措施視為法治的另一個侵蝕,並加強了北京對其危險自治的控制。這些不僅是走上街頭的學生,律師或知識分子,而是香港多元化社會的廣泛領域。所有年齡組,所有職業,各行各業。所有人都致力於維護個人自由和司法獨立,使香港成為一個特殊和繁榮的城市。

“我贊助的1992年香港政策法案,近三十年來一直是美國致力於維護香港特殊地位和自由的承諾。該法律草案與“香港政策法”不一致,使香港成為另一個受北京一時興起的中國城市。


“正如副總統去年秋天所說,”有一段時間,北京方面傾向於更大的自由和對人權的尊重。但是近年來,中國已經朝著控制和壓迫自己人民的方向發生了急劇的轉變。“我感到遺憾的是,廣東到新疆的報導繼續證明他是正確的,因為北京對自己人民的控制越來越緊張,即使世界其他地方標誌著天安門廣場暴力30週年。在這項提案成為法律之前,我鼓勵政府保持參與並向香港當局表達我們的關注,中國共產黨進一步擴大對香港人的控制。

“Like many of my colleagues, I watched images from Hong Kong this weekend and could not help but be moved by the residents of that metropolis. They are mounting a bold stand to preserve Hong Kong’s autonomy from China and, by extension, defend their liberties. Over the weekend, more than a million residents — a staggering proportion of the population, about one in seven—took to the streets to protest a draft law that would allow the people of Hong Kong to be extradited to mainland China.

“Hong Kong residents rightly view this measure as another erosion of the rule of law and tightening of Beijing’s grip on their imperiled autonomy. These are not just students or lawyers or intellectuals who have taken to the streets, but a broad cross-section of Hong Kong’s diverse society. All age groups, all professions, all walks of life. All committed to preserving the personal freedoms and judicial independence that have made Hong Kong such a special and prosperous city.

“The Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992, which I sponsored, has for nearly three decades enshrined America’s commitment to preserving Hong Kong’s special status and its freedoms. This draft law is inconsistent with the Hong Kong Policy Act, and puts Hong Kong on the path of becoming just another Chinese city subject to Beijing’s whims.
