U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is calling on America’s ambassador to the United Nations to introduce to a resolution condemning China’s role in the current protests in Hong Kong.

“For five months, Beijing and its proxy chief executive in Hong Kong have been attempting to alter the city’s status and restrict its citizens’ freedoms, in apparent violation of Hong Kong’s Basic Law and the 1984 Joint Declaration,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Ambassador Kelly Craft, according to the senator’s office.
