It is a sad day for media freedom in Hong Kong. People in Hong Kong have the right to freedom of the press. The U.S. remains unwavering in our support for the people of Hong Kong and all those who stand up for basic freedoms.

China promised the world it would respect Hong Kong’s democratic traditions for 50 years. This week, Apple Daily, Hong Kong’s leading pro-democracy newspaper, was shuttered due to Communist oppression. China cannot be trusted—period.

The Chinese Communist Party has now successfully eliminated one of Hong Kong’s top pro-democracy newspapers in their endless pursuit of silencing dissent. There’s nothing more terrifying to an authoritarian regime than independent thought and a free press.

Without the hard working talented people of Hong Kong it will become an empty subservient shell worshipping the Xi Jinping one party state.

China’s blatant suppression of free speech in Hong Kong brings shame to its pledge to respect the city’s autonomy. China needs to understand that such fear of free speech harms its international image. washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…

Using state power to snuff out a free press is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. Treasury should use the #HongKong Autonomy Act to sanction the Chinese communist leaders responsible for this affront to democracy.

#AppleDaily was a shining symbol of liberty. With its forced closure, #HongKong has descended into the dark ages. Not even a scrap of freedom remains. A CCP-controlled city with no rule of law or protections for basic rights can’t be an international financial hub.
