However, since this June, Hong Kong has witnessed more than 700 demonstrations and public gatherings, many of which ended up in violence. In the past several days, the violence of the black-clad rioters escalated to such level as terrorist acts. Local residents were forced to stay indoors, living in fear.

"The problem faced by Hong Kong now is not that of the so-called 'human rights and democracy', but to stop violence and restore order. However, some U.S. politicians choose to turn a blind eye to the atrocities, and still stand by the rioters," the statement said.

Ng Chau-pei, President of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, said it was shameful for the U.S., a self-claimed democratic country ruled by law, to shield violence, fugitives and other unlawful acts with its so-called act.

"Apparently certain politicians in the U.S. only make excuses to interfere in Hong Kong affairs, in a bid to mess up Hong Kong and to thwart China's development," he said.

Ip Lau Suk-yee, a member of the HKSAR Legislative Council and chairwoman of the New People's Party, said that the act was proposed in June against the ordinance amendments concerning fugitives' transfers, which have already been withdrawn.

"So it's totally unnecessary," she said.

She noted that the problem now in Hong Kong is that some rioters infringed on the rights and freedom of the majority, so that ordinary civilians could not live a normal life, even lost their jobs and were attacked because of their different views.
