Tens of thousands of protesters descended on the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong on Sunday, calling on the Trump administration to lend more support.
Former U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis has urged the U.S. government to offer more support to anti-government protesters in Hong Kong, arguing that the ongoing unrest in the territory is an international, rather than an internal, issue.
Mattis said the protesters were standing for human rights, and that"when people stand up for those, I just inherently think we ought to stand with them, even if it's just moral." The region's rights are codified in the"one country, two systems" agreement reached before Hong Kong was handed from British to Chinese control in 1997.
