In October 2019 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a series of bills supporting protesters in Hong Kong who have a called for democratic reforms in the City. In March 2019 a series of protests began in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR) after the government there introduced the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill.

Regardless, this is an internal complication of China.
@8F2D7C74yrs4Y
This shouldn’t be the US problem, It’s not our country.
@8DYW9CSLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, Hong Kong is it's own independent city state and should operate entirely independent of China
@8DYKZSB4yrs4Y
This is nothing of the United States concern. This is a battle between two countries unrelated to the united states
No we should punish Chinese communist party for this action
@8DXYWHSRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should be the decision of China's government. Not the US
@8DWR48RProgressive4yrs4Y
How is this our problem?
@8DWLG6F4yrs4Y
How is that our business?
@8DVC9BM4yrs4Y
Hong Kong is a part of China. It reverted to China July 1, 1997 so what is the point of this issue?
@8DV9RGW4yrs4Y
The US shouldn't get involved in foreign affairs
@8DT8Y834yrs4Y
No, but it's not our place to police them
@8DSYJW94yrs4Y
Hong Kong is not a U.S. territory and thus my opinion on the topic matters not.
@8DSM5L64yrs4Y
No. Hong Kong should be free of Chinese control.
No. And Hong Kong should be returned to independence.
@8DR9CW34yrs4Y
Now that China is in charge of Hong Kong, it is their right to do as it wishes within Hong Kong.
@8DR7L3W4yrs4Y
This is China's business not ours, bt we shouldn't support China in any way
@8DR2DW44yrs4Y
No, but only for crimes that did not serve the greater good and ability to protest.
@8DQRWTK4yrs4Y
Perhaps for certain violent crimes i.e. murder, but not for political speech.
@8DQKHVG4yrs4Y
@8DQBD964yrs4Y
There are times when we need to mind our own business!
@8DPN7W34yrs4Y
Not our country, not our issue.
@8DMWWTGLibertarian4yrs4Y
The US should not be dictating the terms of operations of a sovereign foreign nation.
It really relevant to the US...between China & Hong Kong
@8DKXW354yrs4Y
Yes, but only with evidence that the person committed the crime.
@8DKBYQG4yrs4Y
It's not our job as a country to determine the foreign policy of other countries.
@8DJ4TB84yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the fugitive is subject to a fair trial
@8DHZCT54yrs4Y
Hong Kong is now part of China giving them the right to do what they see fit in their country. We should still protest any inhumane treatment and possibly use economic means to encourage change.
@8DH56ZG4yrs4Y
Stay out of foreign affairs as much as possible
@8DG938H4yrs4Y
The US should not interfere with China
@8DG7TYGProgressive4yrs4Y
I can´t make a decision.
@8DFYHRX4yrs4Y
No, and Hong Kong should not be controlled at all by China.
@8DFVG8V4yrs4Y
i dont have enough information on matter
@8DFLHS7Women’s Equality4yrs4Y
this is china's business
@8DFKKX64yrs4Y
That matter is between China and Hong Kong.
@8DF8XXT4yrs4Y
China has a lot of problems right now in Hong Kong and back home, if Hong Kong is under attack, we should not allow fugitives to be extradited because of the current state of affairs.
@8DDBX4W4yrs4Y
Only for no political crimes
@8DD3VGSLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, this is a clear violation of Hong Kong rights and a mere excuse to silence political dissent.
@8DCPZL7Independent4yrs4Y
Yes, but if it is clear they are not guilty there should be an attempt to save the "criminal".
@8DCKBS44yrs4Y
We should not be involved in any affairs that don't involve us.
@8DBR7DS4yrs4Y
Tawain and Macau should have the right to extradite with Hong Kong. China is a different situation
@8DBMVQL4yrs4Y
Always question the validity of the fugitive
@8DBF5L9Libertarian4yrs4Y
china/taiwan/hong kong needs to work this out on their own.
@8D9XJCL4yrs4Y
Regardless we should not be involved with how China runs itself.
@8D9VY8L4yrs4Y
I don't have a say in what goes on in China.
@8D9WRC2Libertarian4yrs4Y
Maybe, depends on the circumstances
