The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China passed the National Security Law of the Hong Kong District on June 30. Concerned about the incident in the American political arena, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized Beijing for refusing to take corresponding responsibility for breaching its commitment to the people of Hong Kong; some Republican senators threatened that Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party would have to bear serious consequences for undermining Hong Kong’s freedom .

The Chinese Communist Party's threats to restrict visas for US citizens is the latest example of Beijing's refusal to accept responsibility for breaking its commitment to the people of Hong Kong. We will not be deterred from taking action to respond.

After the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" was passed, Pompeo criticized on Twitter that China had earlier threatened to impose visa restrictions on US personnel, proving that "Beijing refused to take corresponding responsibility for breaching its commitment to Hong Kong people" and threatened Beijing's move. Will not deter us from responding with action."

Republican Senator Tom Cotton also issued a statement on Twitter: "Xi Jinping and his Communist villain must bear serious consequences for undermining Hong Kong's freedom." He urged the House of Representatives to pass the Hong Kong Autonomy Act as soon as possible, imposing sanctions on Chinese officials.

He also emphasized that China's harsh behavior cannot be ignored, and Washington should consider all methods to prevent Beijing from benefiting from Hong Kong's special financial and economic status.

Before the adoption of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law", Pompeo announced on the 29th that it would stop exporting regulated defense equipment to Hong Kong as soon as possible. For US military and civilian related technologies, the United States is about to request a license before exporting to Hong Kong.

Pompeo said in a statement: "The Communist Party of China decided to deprive Hong Kong of its freedom, forcing the Trump administration to reassess its policy toward Hong Kong, and the United States was forced to take action to protect national security. We can no longer tell whether the controlled goods are exported to Hong Kong or mainland China. We cannot risk letting these items fall into the hands of the PLA."
