Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi


U.S. Presence at Hong Kong Legislature Swearing-in

June 25, 1997



Statement of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi On the Decision to Have U.S. Representation at The Swearing-in of Beijing's Hand-Picked Hong Kong Legislature

The same day that the Administration said it would promote democratic reforms in China in other than trade, news is released that the U.S. Consul-General to Hong Kong will be attending the swearing-in of Beijing's hand-picked legislative body. I'm gravely disappointed at the Administration's lack of resolve on behalf of the people of Hong Kong.
