That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
the Hong Kong national security law proposed by the Government of the People’s Republic of China would violate the legal obligations of that Government under—
the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which guarantees for 50 years the protection of the basic rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong, including those of speech, press, assembly, association, travel, movement, correspondence, and strike; and
the Hong Kong Basic Law, which reserves the authority for enacting laws prohibiting treason, secession, sedition, subversion, and foreign interference to the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; and
the United States Government should use all diplomatic means available, including targeted sanctions, to—
dissuade the Government of the People’s Republic of China from passing the proposed Hong Kong national security law;
compel the Government of the People’s Republic of China to rescind the proposed Hong Kong national security law, if it is passed; and
rally all free nations to stand with the people of Hong Kong against increasingly severe violations by the Government of the People’s Republic of China of the rights and liberties guaranteed to them under the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Hong Kong Basic Law.
