'The only way to counter this global suppression is by hitting (China) where it really hurts,' said Hong Kong singer and activist Denise Ho.

WASHINGTON - Hong Kong singer and activist Denise Ho wants U.S. lawmakers and companies to criticize Beijing's actions in Hong Kong, to help change the Chinese Communist Party's behavior.

Ho will testify with Joshua Wong, secretary-general of Hong Kong's Demosisto party and leader of the"Umbrella Movement," and other activists in Congress on Tuesday at an event hosted by the Congressional-Executive Commission on China .
