Official White House Response to Support Hong Kong Democracy and
Prevent A Second Tiananmen Massacre in Hong Kong
Response to We the People Petition on the Protests in Hong Kong
We are watching the situation in Hong Kong closely. Around the world,
the United States supports internationally recognized fundamental
freedoms, such as freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of
expression. We urge the Hong Kong authorities to exercise restraint,
and for protestors to express their views peacefully.
The United States supports universal suffrage in Hong Kong in
accordance with the Basic Law and we support the aspirations of the
Hong Kong people. We believe that an open society, with the highest
possible degree of autonomy and governed by the rule of law, is
essential for Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity
