Every tool in the economic and diplomatic tool box should be used to hold China accountable if they proceed down the path of destroying #HongKong as we know it.
bbc.com/news/world-asi…
President Trump: It is imperative that we put China on notice as to the consequences they would face if they try to end the “one country, two systems” arrangement of autonomy in Hong Kong.
This would be the most flagrant violation yet of the international norms and the rule of law by the Chinese Communist Party.
It is time to pass my legislation imposing sanctions on China for refusing to cooperate with the international community regarding the origins of #COVID19, failing to close their wet markets, and for their efforts to destroy Hong Kong.

Just watched the Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, Melvin Carter, eloquently describe the situation our country is faced with after the murder of Mr. George #Floyd.
Righteous indignation against police brutality but wholesale condemnation of rioting and destruction of communities by force of violence.
I am confident those responsible for Mr. Floyd’s murder will be brought to justice through the Rule of Law.

However, it is now time to bring the Rule of Law to bear on the rioters and agitators who are destroying communities and corrupting the tragedy of Mr. Floyd’s murder.

I very much appreciate President @realDonaldTrump’s scathing indictment of the Chinese Communist Party’s historic abuses of Hong Kong’s human rights and democracy and their systemic disregard of the rules of free and fair trade.
President Trump spoke forcefully on behalf of the people of Hong Kong who are becoming victims of the Chinese Communist Party’s complete disdain for the rule of law.
It is my hope that Congress, in working with the President, will come up with a series of sanctions that will be strong enough to change Chinese behavior and restore the rule of law in Hong Kong.

I have just spoken with @SenFeinstein, Ranking Member on @senjudiciary, about the horrific death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis.
Both of us are appalled at what we saw and believe it is important to have a hearing as soon as possible as to how to combat this outrage.
The Committee intends to call a wide variety of witnesses on the topics of better policing, addressing racial discrimination regarding the use of force, as well as building stronger bonds between communities and police.
