مستخلص: The article discusses the need for the United States to respond to Hong Kong's new security law, which has drawn worldwide criticism. The law, known as the Article 23 legislation, aims to embed China's national security edicts within Hong Kong's legal framework, potentially eroding freedoms and civil liberties in the city. The article highlights concerns about the broad and nebulous crimes outlined in the legislation, which could stifle freedom of speech and curtail civil liberties. It also emphasizes the potential impact on U.S. nationals and businesses in Hong Kong, who now face the threat of arbitrary detention and legal action. The author calls for the U.S. to safeguard its citizens and business interests, reevaluate Hong Kong's status on the international stage, and take decisive actions to address China's crackdown on Hong Kong.
