'Sooner or later, the rest of the world will have to do what the protesters are doing—confront Beijing,' McConnell wrote in the Wall Street Journal.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wrote a blistering op-ed calling out China for various human rights violations and a crackdown on Hong Kong. He said the US could revisit the 1992 Hong Kong Policy Act, which gave the city special access to the US market and poured billions into Beijing's pockets. The act allows the US to trade with Hong Kong on better, more favorable terms than it affords the Chinese mainland.

But B.I., why is Mitch disobeying his master Trump! Trump said he didn't give a DAM about Hong Kong. Trump said he just wants to steal more products to China!

senatemajldr what the heck. The US is clamoring for you to make some practical headway or even just the slightest concession on gun control and you’re writing about Hong Kong? Important yes, but get your head in the game and align with more immiediate US priorities. Focus!
