some of the arrests were made because hong kongers possessed items that called for hong kong's independence. that's right. people arrested simply for holding a sign, arrested for holding a flag. among them was a 15-year-old girl. 15-year-old girl. her crime -- she held a flag that said hong kong independence. another was a 19-year-old young man. his crime was that he had a pro-democracy sticker on his phone. imagine. imagine the nerve of wanting to have self-determination and expressing that with a sticker on your phone. so he was arrested. his parents attempted tovisi their son in jail and bring him dinner, and the police refused their visit. it's not at all clear if this young man will be able to get out even on bail. so the chinese communist party has very rapidly started enforcing this new law, and i think it's because they realize what's at stake. they know that hong kong -- the people of hong kong fervently believe in the importance of an open and free society. they believe in and they want the ability to practice liberal values, and they want a system of transparent, accountable gov

also on the front of the financial times, up to 200,000 hong kongers possibly coming to the uk afteron the territory. yes, this is a forecast as to how many people do foreign 0ffice think might come here. a lot of mps are looking at the situation in hong kong and saying we should offer the possibility for people to come because of the violence. at the same time as saying we will offer the space for hong kongers, we are putting in stringent immigration rules so it is somewhat of a contradiction. absolutely right, ifyou we should be taking more people in terms of political asylum but there seems to be a special case for hong kong when the humanitarian aspect of what is happening in many countries across the world. aspect of what is happening in many countries across the worldlj aspect of what is happening in many countries across the world. i think, asi countries across the world. i think, as i point out, britain does not have a good record at getting these predictions correct but hong kongers known for their entrepreneurial pizzazz, there is quite a lot of excitement it seems about a

uk would be a force for good. —— i guess it is seen force for good. —— i guess it is seen that hong kongerss looking to come to the uk after brexit unveiled by the government today. as she said, hong kong has famously high level of education across the board and many hung congress have good technical digital skills and future technologies. and borisjohnson skills and future technologies. and boris johnson wants skills and future technologies. and borisjohnson wants the uk to increasingly pivot towards this fourth industrial revolution. —— hong kongers have good technical skills. technology of the future. echo one fits in very well with that narrative. the daily telegraph maxwell and extreme flight risk allegedly according to the prosecution, ghislaine maxwell, to manhattanjudge. prosecution, ghislaine maxwell, to manhattan judge. a lot of fascinating detail about who she was guarded by and what measures she has alleged to have taken to avoid detection in the last few months since jeffrey epstein died. very quickly i want to say this because there's a lot of care workers in this country that

now hong kongers are fleeing hong kong out of fear for their safety and we should support their right to do so, though the right we really want to support is the right of all hong kongers to the level of autonomy promised in the one country, two systems agreement. we have witnesses in the last 24 hours, nothing short of terrifying events in hong kong. we need to reject this chinese violation of china's own international commitments and the commitments they have made to their own people. the peoples of hong kong expected china to honor the commitment under the two systems part of the agreement, but over the past few years, beijing has chipped away at hong kong's freedoms. in 2014 when officials in beijing curtailed voting rights for the people of hong kong, a new generation of democracy activists under the banner of the umbrella movement came to the forefront. year after year, injustice after injustice, a broadening coalition of hong kongers from all walks of life have taken to the streets to protest their rights. now, chinese president xi jinping has launched an unprecedented attack a

this bill would designate hong kongers as priority two refugees. streamlining the refugee admission pros. it also sets up an asylum path for those in hong kong who are in immediate danger from the ccp. frontline activists, journalists harmed while covering the protests, first aid responders at the protest, anyone who provided legal service to those arrested for the protests, and anyone arrested during the protests since june 9th, 2019. the legislation also instructs the secretary of state to work with like-minded ally countries to accept refugees from hong kong. this bill addressed the immediate humanitarian crisis. the u.s. must act fast. this legislation is needed and it's needed immediately. i would also like to note that more legislation is in process and i would like to point out the good work of others on this committee, representative malinowski and others, and note that we have a lot of work to do. i hope the house will act quickly on this legislation. my question to the witnesses is, as i have listened to the propaganda regarding this bill,

last week, the uk offered several million hong kongers a path to british citizenship in direct reactionor to britain said this. the uk government keeps making irresponsible remarks on hong kong affairs through its so—called six monthly report on hong kong, make unwarranted accusations against the national security law for hong kong as they are and even talks about changing the arrangement of british national overseas passport holders in hong kong. this move constitutes gross interference in china's internal affairs, openly trampling on the basic norm governing international relations. and this is the uk foreign secretary‘s response to that. the real issue here is one of trust and whether china can be trusted to live up to its international obligations and responsibilities and thatis obligations and responsibilities and that is a measure that we are telegraphing, along with many of our allies and indeed many international partners around the world to beijing particularly in relation to what we have seen in hong kong. hong kong isn‘t the only issue that might impact uk—china relations. th

they've been quite small afterjuly ist, and most hong kongers appear to be getting on with their dailyrrying about this new law too much. well, the poll data doesn't show that fact. in fact, a majority of hong kong people are really concerned or worrying that the law will kill hong kong's one country, two systems. and also, for the past few months, the police has not been granted any permit to our rallies. they've literally banned all the application for rallies, even though... but maybe a lot of hong kongers were fed up with the constant disruption, the clashes on the streets, the fact that the public transport system and the airport, too, had been closed down last year. maybe they were fed up with all of that. maybe they'd like a bit of stability. well, if we look at the poll data, the support towards the movement is still majority and, most importantly, all the peaceful rallies are being rejected and none of the police officers have been under any form of investigation because of their misbehaviour for the past few years, and we all could see that. that is the case — if we are livin

understand that agreement, the communist party of china made a pledge, not just to hong kongers and the british, but to the watching world and they said that it would guarantee -- they would guarantee a certain level of autonomy and freedom to the hong kong community, that hong kong could not be forced to live under the kind of despotism that the mainland chinese are forced to experience. the communist party announced to the world in signing that declaration that hong kongers would be retaining a lot of freedom. well, since that handover in 2007 and especially since 2003, the people of hong kong have been holding pro-democrats protests and celebrations every year on the july 1 holiday. and annually on july 1 they have reminded the world of what the pledge was of the communist party in that agreement of july 1997. yesterday, though, protesting and keys manning basic human rights and freedoms from hong kong became a crime. under the new national security law, to speak out, to exercise your freedom of assembly, your freedom of speech, freedom of the press issues is considered an act of sec

now, we have seen, over many months, hong kongers express their deep discontent and fury with the notionecurity law, which makes it plain that in cases defined as serious by beijing, they can be taken to the mainland for trial, and those defendants can face anything from ten years to life imprisonment. some people believe that the death penalty could be inflicted upon defendants who are found guilty in mainland courts. again, it is a simple question, mr tong, which you appear unable to answer. how does that fit... i resent that. ..with ‘0ne country, two systems‘? i resent that, i‘m sorry. you just haven‘t been listening to what i am saying. i am saying that under this law, the only time when the office can come into play and bring cases against people in hong kong would be within a very narrow compass as defined in the law, and even then, when it take on the case, it is... who defines this narrow compass, mr tong? i haven‘t finished. who defines it? i have not finished! no! i‘m sorry. you are not answering any of my questions. no, you‘re not allowing me to finish the question! you are no

the point james was just making about the potential offer to 3 million hong kongers, that would be the since opening eu expansion. there is no doubt in my mind the opposition to free movement within the eu was the pivotal issue that led to brexit in the 2016 referendum. now, as you say, potentially huge numbers could be coming from hong kong. it's interesting, borisjohnson was asked about this yesterday in an interview and was asked specifically where would they live, what with the do? and was asked specifically where would they live, what would they do? he couldn't answer. all he could say was that the numbers aren't as vast, potentially, as those that could have come from the eu. interestingly, he was sort of linking it with free movement in a different way. i don't think they clearly thought it through in terms of the practicalities, but i think at this point it is symbolism. as others have suggested, there is very limited leveraged for the uk government. there isn't much for the us government, there is less for the uk government. what can they do? this is an example of something th
