Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor has hit out at United States senator Josh Hawley for his “irresponsible” remark that Hong Kong is becoming a police state.
Hawley, the youngest sitting senator in the US, arrived in the city on Sunday to observe the anti-government protests, which have raged for more than four months.
At the end of the visit, he urged demonstrators in Hong Kong to shun violence, but he blamed Hong Kong police for aggravating the crisis, accusing them of ramping up their use of force.
He also said the city is in “danger of sliding into a police state”.
Hawley was the third Republican senator after Ted Cruz and Rick Scott to visit the city since the protests erupted in June, sparked by the now-withdrawn extradition bill.
Asked to comment on Hawley’s remarks before Tuesday’s weekly meeting of her cabinet, the Executive Council, Lam accused foreign politicians of holding biased views on Hong Kong’s situation.
“I thought their visit to Hong Kong would enable them to see the actual situation in a comprehensive and objective manner, but unfortunately the feedback that I’ve got is most of them, or several of them coming here, they have very preconceived views about Hong Kong’s situation,” she said.
“That’s why for this particular senator to describe Hong Kong as becoming a police state is totally irresponsible and unfounded.”

China is a communist police state.
They intend for Hong Kong to be the same by the time 2047 rolls around if not sooner.
This is coming from a despot that, if she went out into the streets of Hong Kong unguarded, would be torn limb-from-limb by the citizens of Hong Kong.
Sen Hawley is stating the truth. Anyone who states the truth about the left is immediately inflammatory and unsophisticated. As it should be. We need to know who is on our side.
I’m not commenting on this topic (or any other) until I hear what Lebron James thinks.

I’d be happy just to hear what the President or the State Department thinks about the riots in Hong Kong.
The protesters/patriots of Hong Kong love America more than a typical American leftist. The typical American leftist sees China as the utopian model for their socialist super state and America’s future.
They need to get rid of her.
They need to get rid of her.

They can’t. She was installed by Beijing, she’s nothing more than a puppet.
