This resolution condemns the People's Republic of China's (PRC) and Hong Kong government's actions that have systematically undermined Hong Kong's autonomy, democracy, and rule of law, violating the "one country, two systems" principle. It highlights the impact of the 2020 Hong Kong national security law and the 2024 Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (Article 23) , which have been used to suppress fundamental rights, replace the legislature, and implement exit bans. These laws have led to the arrest of nearly 300 people, including the sentencing of the "Hong Kong 47" and the ongoing persecution of pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai , whose trial raises concerns about due process and judicial independence. The resolution expresses alarm over the PRC's transnational repression and the erosion of Hong Kong's credibility as an international business center due to the seizure of independent media like Apple Daily. The Senate urges all democratic governments to hold the Chinese Communist Party and Hong Kong authorities accountable for these abuses. It calls for the immediate release of all defendants charged under these security laws and encourages the United States Government to use all appropriate tools, including those authorized by the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, to respond to the PRC's actions. Furthermore, it suggests adjusting voting procedures at multilateral institutions to reflect the diminished distinction between Hong Kong and mainland China.
