The Next Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit will be held in San Francisco in November. In recent months, many groups and organizations have urged the U.S. government to prohibit the sanctioned Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu from entering the United States.
The Hong Kong Democracy Council, Hong Kong Watch, and scores of overseas Hongkonger groups, as well as Uyghur and Tibetan organizations, a total of more than 50, jointly signed an open letter on June 30, calling on the U.S. government to make a prompt and clear statement that Lee is not allowed to attend the APEC summit.
