After the National People’s Congress passed the National Security Act on June 30, on July 1 (Wednesday), the US House of Representatives passed a bill to punish and enforce the National Security Law Chinese officials have banks that do business with each other, and will step up sanctions on relevant Chinese officials and the Hong Kong police.
Reuters reported that the House of Representatives unanimously agreed to pass the bill on Wednesday, reflecting Washington's concern that the Chinese Communist Party promulgated the National Security Law of the Hong Kong District as a measure to end Hong Kong's autonomy.
The US Senate passed a similar bill "Hong Kong Autonomy Act" last week. According to the provisions of the Congress, the bill passed by the House of Representatives must be passed to the Senate, and then sent to the White House for approval or veto by President Trump.
Earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attended a House Committee hearing on the situation in Hong Kong. She said that the Minato City National Security Law symbolized the principle of "one country, two systems" is dead.
She said that the purpose of the National Security Act in the port area is to threaten, intimidate and suppress Hong Kong people. They just peacefully demand their long-deserved freedom.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the Minzu District National Security Act is a blatant insult to all countries, and Washington will continue to implement President Trump’s instructions to end special treatment for Hong Kong.
Earlier, the United States had begun to reduce its special treatment for Hong Kong, halted defense exports and regulated the entry and exit of high-tech products into and out of Hong Kong. The Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States Congress have also proposed the "Hong Kong Haven Act" to provide asylum priority to Hong Kong people. The bill stipulates that eligible Hong Kong people can apply in Hong Kong or a third country, and are not subject to the quota of similar asylum applications.
The Hong Kong Haven Act includes:
1. Leaders of non-governmental organizations supporting anti-send middle-level protests against the CCP’s violation of Hong Kong’s autonomy;
2. Protest organizers;
3. First aid personnel;
4. Reporters who reported injuries to the protest;
5. Those who provide legal services to arrested demonstrators;
6. People prosecuted, detained or convicted for participating in protests
