This House resolution condemns Hong Kong's passage of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance on March 19, 2024, which the resolution argues violates China's 1984 commitment to preserve Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms under the "one country, two systems" framework. The resolution expresses concern that the new law will severely restrict freedom of speech and assembly while enabling authorities to punish political activists and journalists, following what it characterizes as a pattern of erosion of Hong Kong's democratic institutions since 2004. The resolution calls on the Hong Kong government to revise the legislation to align with international human rights standards and to release political prisoners convicted under previous national security laws. It also urges the U.S. President to use existing authorities under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act to impose targeted sanctions against officials implementing the law and to provide diplomatic support to Hong Kongers facing political threats. Additionally, the resolution encourages other countries to condemn the law and take similar measures against those responsible for undermining Hong Kong's freedoms.
