WASHINGTON - The chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee said on Tuesday he wanted the Senate to pass legislation to support pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, as violence rose in the Chinese-ruled city wracked by months of unrest.
“We want it moved,” Risch said during a discussion on China at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Police in Hong Kong battled pro-democracy protesters at several university campuses on Tuesday in sometimes savage clashes, as parts of the city were paralyzed including Hong Kong’s central financial district, which was tear-gassed for a second day running.
“The world needs to see that the United States will stand up and say this is wrong, we stand with the people of Hong Kong,” Risch said.
