The United States must use the tools provided by Congress to address the Chinese government\u2019s brazen disregard for its obligations to the people of Hong Kong. Our bipartisan bill is a concrete consequence for destroying Hong Kong\u2019s autonomy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince the dramatic events of 2019 and 2020, Beijing has made it increasingly and brutally clear that Hong Kong\u2019s autonomy is dead,\u201d <strong>said Sullivan.<\/strong> \u201cThat being the case, it makes zero sense for Hong Kong to have its own diplomatic posts in the U.S.&nbsp; There is a fundamental lack of reciprocity in US-China relations that I have been working for years to reverse. The China mainland and Hong Kong together having more official offices in the U.S. than we have in China is one of them. This bill will fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince the 2020 takeover of Hong Kong, the Chinese Communist Party has run a Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office acting as a second Chinese embassy to influence and gather intelligence in our nation\u2019s capital,\u201d <strong>said Curtis.<\/strong> \u201cGiven that Hong Kong is no longer independent of the Chinese Communist Party, this office should be shut down immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn recent years, we\u2019ve seen how Hong Kong officials in the United States have done the bidding of the People\u2019s Republic of China by promoting propaganda and opposing human rights\u2014all while they continuing to receive diplomatic privileges and immunities,\u201d <strong>dijo Kaine.<\/strong> \u201cThis bipartisan legislation would require the State Department to determine whether these privileges should be terminated. The PRC is openly violating the human rights of Hong Kongers, and has destroyed Hong Kong\u2019s autonomy. We should not permit the PRC to extend this campaign of oppression into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>China is not just silencing people inside Hong Kong. It is also engaging in transnational repression by going after their families overseas, including in cases like U.S.-based activist Anna Kwok, whose father is currently on trial in Hong Kong after she spoke out against Beijing\u2019s crackdown in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Merkley-led bipartisan bill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Requires the State Department to regularly decide whether Hong Kong\u2019s economic and trade offices should continue to receive diplomatic privileges;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires the HKETOs to terminate operations in the United States if the Secretary of State determines those privileges are no longer warranted;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gives Congress the power to block a positive certification and force the termination of HKETO operations through a joint resolution of disapproval; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restricts U.S. federal agencies from partnering with HKETOs unless the Secretary of State certifies they remain eligible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The House companion bill is led by U.S. Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ), the Republican Co-Chair of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, and Jim McGovern (D-MA), the House Democratic Ranking Member. Last Congress, the <em>HKETO Certification Act<\/em> overwhelmingly passed the U.S. House of Representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As past Chair of the CECC and a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Merkley has led the charge to highlight the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cecc.gov\/events\/hearings\/one-city-two-legal-systems-political-prisoners-and-the-erosion-of-the-rule-of-law-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cases of pro-democracy advocates<\/a>&nbsp;who have been targeted by the Chinese and Hong Kong governments\u2019 crackdown on free speech and democracy.
