China’s national security law for Hong Kong has drawn worldwide attention. Hong Kong businessman Elmer Yuan expressed his concerns about the devastating impact of the new law and appealed to the United States for help.

Yuan wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo before the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4. He pleaded for help and protection from the United States to return the sovereignty of Hong Kong back to Britain. He also proposed that Hong Kong citizens hold a referendum within six months so they can choose their own future.
