The bill was proposed by Republican Senator Pat Toomey and Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen.

Van Hollen pointed out in a statement that Beijing ’s actions are a complete violation of the "Sino-British Joint Declaration," a bill that will endeavour to punish Chinese officials who deprived Hong Kong of self-government.

Tumi said that "the CCP wants to eliminate Hong Kong's autonomy and people's rights." He also described Beijing's increasing interference, which may be daunting to other countries fighting for freedom in the shadow of China.

The US State Department issued a statement on the same day urging Beijing to make a commitment to Hong Kong ’s autonomy and freedom, and warned against implementing the National Security Law in Hong Kong. President Trump pointed out that once China implements the National Security Law in Hong Kong, the United States will react strongly.

The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the National People's Congress opened in Beijing on May 22. According to the agenda of the National People's Congress, the fifth item is "A review of the motion of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to consider the" Decision of the National People's Congress on Establishing and Perfecting the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanism for the Maintenance of National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Draft) " , That is, "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law".
