"30 years after the brutal massacre of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against peaceful democratic protesters in Tiananmen Square, we are concerned that China is again considering the brutal suppression of peaceful protests," follows from a statement by committee head Eliot Engel and senior committee member Michael McCall .
U.S. Congressmen warned Chinese authorities of the serious consequences of the violent crackdown on protests in Hong Kong.
“The Committee on Foreign Affairs has demanded that Beijing stop the encroachment on Hong Kong’s autonomy - it was China’s actions that caused unrest among the people of Hong Kong,” the report emphasizes.
According to Washington, the protests are caused by Beijing's "consistent violation" of its obligations to fulfill the will of Hong Kong residents.
Earlier, the Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded that the United States "not poke a nose" in the internal affairs of the country.
On August 13, US leader Donald Trump said the Chinese authorities "are pulling the military to the border with Hong Kong."
