The Senate majority leader said the Hong Kong protests are a 'pivotal moment' for China, adding that 'hopefully they will not go too far.'
Tuesday. Hewitt referred to previous remarks by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas that if China moved militarily against the demonstrators in Hong Kong it would be a"grievous mistake of historic proportion," and asked if McConnell agreed.
"And in the last few years, those reports have been very critical. I'm going to be supporting legislation to enhance those requirements. And I think this is a pivotal moment for the Chinese… This is a seminal moment, and it'll be interesting to see how the Chinese manage it." "Well, I think it requires a significant response from us, in my opinion," McConnell said."I think that if the Chinese do crush this what I would call peaceful attempt to maintain their rights, it requires, it seems to me, America, which is known internationally for standing up for human rights, to speak up and to take more forceful action. That's what I would recommend to the president. Obviously, that's his decision in the end.
