Hong Kong Protest Leaders Urge U.S. To Put Pressure On China

The video discusses the ongoing protests in Hong Kong, initially triggered by an extradition bill allowing China to extradite suspects from Hong Kong. Although the bill was withdrawn, protests expanded to address police brutality and leadership issues. Activists urged US Congress to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which would require annual assessments of Hong Kong's human rights status. If Hong Kong fails to meet standards, the US could revoke its special trade status, impose sanctions, and make visa applications difficult. Protest leader Joshua Wong emphasized the need to preserve Hong Kong's socio-political identity.
