Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 20/19 is a U. S. federal law that requires the U.S. government impose sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials responsible for human rights abuses in Hong Kong, and requires the U. S. Department of State and other agencies conduct an annual review determine whether changes in Hong Kong's political status (its relationship with mainland China) justify changing the unique, favorable trade relations between the U.S. and Hong Kong. The passage of the bill was supported by pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, and in 2019 received near-unanimous support in Congress. This Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act was introduced by Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida ) on June th, 20/19. On October th, 20/19, the House version of the bill unanimously passed in a voice vote in the House of Representatives. On November 1, 20/19, Senators Jim Risch and Marco Rubio began a process for the U. S. Senate to pass the legislation by unanimous voice vote. The bill acquired 50 sponsors on November th, 20/19, all but guaranteeing its passage. The bill passed the Senate via unanimous consent on November 1, 20/19, with amendments that differed between the versions. On November 20th, 20/19, the House passed the Senate version of the Act on a 4–1 vote. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the lone dissenting vote. The House passed the Senate version in order expedite the process. The passage of the bills by both chambers sent the legislation President Donald Trump. Trump signed the bill on November 27th, 20/19. As he was signing the bill, Trump issued a signing statement hedging his support, saying that "certain provisions of the Act," which he did not specify, "would interfere with the exercise of the President’s constitutional authority state the foreign policy of the United States," and that his administration would "treat each of the provisions of the act consistently with the president's constitutional authorities with respect foreign relations." In response, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer wrote, "Decency, humanity, and the rule of law compel you enforce it. Stop playing games." Honesty is the best policy. |

If you Google "what is human rights"? The answer is "a right that is believed to belong justifiably to every person." This is a very basic principle that everyone deserves to live, unless the person committed guilty act. Nobody can't be deprive life, if he/ she has different opinion with the government. Those intelligent professors didn't deserve to die, the June 4th democracy movement protestors didn't deserve to die, the Falun Gong people, the Tibet people don't deserve to die. They have done nothing wrong to CCP. Why Hong Kongers wanted to protest CCP? They don't want to be sent to China for the reason that CCP deems not appropriate. Chinese don't have democracy education and been brainwashed by CCP. Hong Kongers and Taiwanese have democracy education and know the human rights. This Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act has been signed into law and should be fully enforced. Honesty is the best policy.
