Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called out the Hong Kong government on Sept. 8 over its recent actions that curtailed the city’s basic freedoms.

“Democracy, respect for fundamental freedoms, and government accountability to the people are the best paths to stability in Hong Kong—not draconian efforts to limit free expression, delay elections, and restrict travel,” Pompeo wrote on his Twitter account.
