The full U.S. Senate and House of Representatives may soon vote on measures to support Hong Kong’s autonomy and basic law after two bipartisan bills for a Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act were passed by congressional committees on Sept. 25.
Bill H.R. 3289, which Hong Kong protesters have been petitioning the U.S. Congress to pass as a means of safeguarding their basic rights, was unanimously passed by the House Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations committees.
