Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Aug. 30 called for a vote on legislation on Hong Kong when Congress re-convenes.

“When the Senate returns, Majority Leader [Mitch] McConnell should quickly bring up for debate and a vote the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. This is bipartisan legislation that will send a clear message to President Xi,” Schumer said in a Twitter statement, speaking about the Chinese regime’s leader.
