U.S. House Approves Bills Supporting Hong Kong Protests

The US House of Representatives approved measures supporting Hong Kong demonstrators, including the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which mandates annual assessments of Hong Kong's status as a US trading partner and sanctions against those undermining its autonomy. China criticized these actions as foreign interference and warned of countermeasures. Additional bills include stopping the export of US crowd control products to Hong Kong. The measures now move to the Senate, where a similar version is expected to pass.
