The U.S. administration should sanction Chinese officials who suppress basic freedoms in Hong Kong to warn the Chinese regime that it cannot continue to undermine the city’s autonomy with impunity, a prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist told U.S senators on Sept. 26.
“If you are eroding Hong Kong autonomy, you cannot be rewarded [for] ... doing so,” Nathan Law, founding chairman of Hong Kong’s Demosisto party, said at a Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee hearing.
