I have often spoken about you to university students that I teach at Florida International University and in other places as an example of political engagement under quite difficult circumstances.

I hope you will continue to give encouragement to the young leaders because they need your support more than we did.

Xi must be told, politely, of course, but firmly, that the eyes of the world are on China, the eyes of the world are on Hong Kong.

If I may for just one second, Mr. Lam.

So when I look at Hong Kong's future, I have confidence, in particular, because of the young leaders, like Joshua Wong and others.

I believe the United States should not quietly accept the state of affairs.

We have discussed with the president's nominee to be Ambassador to Beijing, Governor Branstad of Iowa, the importance of Hong Kong and of your cause.

I think the administration here must realize that in dealing with China and hopefully making treaties with China over many issues, your administration must bear in mind that Hong Kong is now part of China.

if any hostility comes your way upon your return, we will directly attribute that to your appearance here today.

Congress should do its part to renew White House interest in Hong Kong, sending a message that the United States is concerned about our political freedom.

It is clear now, even more than it was in 1997, that America has the leading role in support for Hong Kong's democracy, rule of law and civil liberties.

Congress has long played an indispensable role in making democracy and human rights a priority in America's foreign policy.

one can no longer base U.S. policy on the 'fantasy' that China's future will be more democratic and more open.

If Hong Kong is to become just another Mainland Chinese city, we will have to reassess whether Hong Kong warrants special status under U.S. law.

We need a new idealism--a renewed commitment to democratic ideals, to human rights, and the rule of law.
