6. Pompeo has a long-time interest in Hong Kong. I recalled that, as a Kansas Congressman, he'd been one of very few House co-sponsors of the landmark #HKHRDA, an updated version of which would pass four years later. Now he works tirelessly and unwaveringly to implement the law.

Great to be able to tweet again. Picking up from where I left off earlier: I urge our American friends who support #HongKong to call your Representatives and Senators in Congress to back the #HKSHA. We did it with the landmark #HKHRDA last year. Let's do it again now. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, I hope you find out what it is soon, and do indeed address the issue very strongly. The bipartisan #HKHRDA, which you signed into law last November, provides some important tools to respond. #HongKong needs the world now. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

It was amazing that @SenJeffMerkley showed us the pen @SpeakerPelosi used to sign the #HKHRDA and PROTECT #HONGKONG acts! It is HISTORY in front of us. So thrilled.

I appreciated @senatemajldr today for helping to pass the #HKHRDA, which the President signed into law before Thanksgiving. He told me he doesn’t think Xi knows how to handle all the unrest against him. I hope he can give the UIGHUR Act priority to show even more support. Thanks!

Even the #HKHRDA is signed and we enjoy the victory on the district council election, it’s still not time for celebration. More than 5000 HKers was arrested sand almost hundred of them were already locked up in prison. Stop police brutality and free-election is the only way out.

#Hkers plz rmb who @RepChrisSmith is. He was the original sponsor of the #HKHRDA in 2014❗️When no one cared HK, he alrdy helped push the act.
Five yrs later, after many attempts, the act is likely to be signed by the President at last. We need to thank him. #HKers admire you.

Speaker @SpeakerPelosi announced that the House will pass the Senate version of the #HKHRDA over the next hour and send it directly to Trump regardless of the strong opposition and reactions from China.

We should act promptly. It's not only for Hong Kong but also for the liberal world and the community that shares democratic values. Defending democracy, it is a very global fight. PASS THE ACT!
