The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution on April 19 condemning the communist Chinese regime’s continued trampling of freedoms in Hong Kong.
The resolution, passed by a vote of 418-1, was intended to “send a strong bipartisan message demanding that the Chinese and Hong Kong governments respect the will of the Hong Kong people,” Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said on the House floor on April 19.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the ranking member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, emphasized the bipartisan nature of this issue.
“[The] Chinese Communist Party’s relentless oppression of the people of Hong Kong is not a Republican or Democrat issue,” McCaul said on the House floor. “We are united as Americans in standing with Hongkongers.”
