,wicker1 ,mrs4 ,loeffler1 ,mr4          
,sullivan1 ,mr4 ,rubio1 ,mr4 ,inhofe1   
and ,mr4 ,daines7 submitted the         
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign          
,relations  ,,resolution  ,expressing   
the sense of the ,senate that the ,hong 
,kong national security law proposed by 
the ,government of the ,people's        
,republic of ,china would violate the   
obligations of that government under the
 #aihd ,sino-,british ,joint            
,declaration and the ,hong ,kong ,basic 
,law and calling upon all free nations  
of the world to stand with the people of
 ,hong ,kong4  ,whereas the ,government 
of the ,people's ,republic of ,china has
 proposed a new national security law   
for ,hong ,kong that would ban          

secession1 subversion of state power1   
and foreign interference1 as defined by 
the ,government of the ,people's        
,republic of ,china2 ,whereas1 if the   
new national security law is passed1 the
 ,government of the ,people's ,republic 
of ,china is expected to use this law to
 justify and facilitate an expanded     
crackdown against peaceful protests and 
other forms of nonviolent protest by the
 people of ,hong ,kong2 ,whereas this   
proposed law constitutes a significant  
escalation in the campaign by the       
,government of the ,people's ,republic  
of ,china and its proxies in ,hong ,kong
 to erase the basic liberties and human 
rights promised to the people of ,hong  
,kong under the #aihd ,sino-,british    
,joint ,declaration and the ,hong ,kong 
,basic ,law2 ,whereas the announcement  
by the ,government of the ,people's     
,republic of ,china of its intent to    
pass this new national security law     
reflects that government's fundamental  
opposition not only to the basic rights 

and liberties of free persons championed
 by the people of ,hong ,kong and the   
,united ,states1 but also to upholding  
its obligations under international law2
 and ,whereas the efforts by the        
,government of the ,people's ,republic  
of ,china to silence peaceful protestors
 in ,hong ,kong are part and parcel of a
 broader hegemonic vision that would see
 the ,government of the ,people's       
,republic of ,china impose its will upon
 all free people of ,asia and beyond3   
,now1 therefore1 be it ,that it is the  
sense of the ,senate that-- 7#a7 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-- 7,a7 the #aihd       
,sino-,british ,joint ,declaration1     
which guarantees for #ej years the      
protection of the basic rights and      
freedoms of the people of ,hong ,kong1  
including those of speech1 press1       
assembly1 association1 travel1 movement1

 correspondence1 and strike2 and  7,b7  
the ,hong ,kong ,basic ,law1 which      
reserves the authority for enacting laws
 prohibiting treason1 secession1        
sedition1 subversion1 and foreign       
interference to the ,government of the  
,hong ,kong ,special ,administrative    
,region2 and  7#b7 the ,united ,states  
,government should use all diplomatic   
means available1 including targeted     
sanctions1 to-- 7,a7 dissuade the       
,government of the ,people's ,republic  
of ,china from passing the proposed     
,hong ,kong national security law2  7,b7
 compel the ,government of the ,people's
 ,republic of ,china to rescind the     
proposed ,hong ,kong national security  
law1 if it is passed2 and  7,c7 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 #aihd      
,sino-,british ,joint ,declaration and  

the ,hong ,kong ,basic ,law4
