PRESS STATEMENT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese government continues to undermine the democratic institutions of Hong Kong, denying Hong Kong residents the rights that the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) itself has guaranteed.  The Hong Kong Legislative Council (LegCo) passage on May 27 of new measures that alter the composition of the LegCo and Election Commission severely constrains people in Hong Kong from meaningfully participating in their own governance and having their voices heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decreasing Hong Kong\u202fresidents\u2019\u202felectoral representation will\u202fnot\u202ffoster long-term political and social stability for Hong Kong.\u202f This legislation defies the Basic Law\u2019s clear acknowledgment that\u202fthe ultimate objective is the\u202felection\u202fof all members of the\u202fLegCo\u202fby\u202funiversal suffrage.\u202f We once again call on the PRC and the Hong Kong authorities to allow the voices\u202fof\u202fall\u202fHong Kongers to be heard.\u202f\u202fWe also call on these authorities to release and drop charges against all individuals charged under the National Security Law and other laws merely for standing for election or for expressing dissenting views.\u202f The United States stands united with our allies and partners in speaking out for the\u202fhuman\u202frights and\u202ffundamental\u202ffreedoms\u202fguaranteed to the\u202fpeople in Hong Kong\u202fby the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law.
