Hong Kong’s summer of discontent is shifting into a fall of fury as protests in the semi-autonomous region of China show no sign of slowing down. In a bid to put pressure on Beijing and Hong Kong’s government to sit down and negotiate with the protestors, recently a delegation of Hong Kong lawmakers met with their US counterparts for an under-the-radar meeting.

The delegation met with Senator Steve Daines,  Rep. Greg Gianforte, Rep. Hank Johnson, and Rep. Thomas Suozzi to discuss the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act which, if made into law, would enact punitive measures against officials in China — as well as Hong Kong lawmakers — that threaten Hong Kong’s autonomy.
