Member-only story
Good morning Chairman McGovern, Co-Chairman Rubio, and members of this Commission:
麥克高文主席，魯比奧聯席主席，各位委員會成員早晨It’s an honor to be invited back to Capitol Hill to speak about developments in Hong Kong. You may recall that I last traveled to Washington more than two years ago and testified before this commission, in this same building, on May 3, 2017.
能夠再次被邀請到國會大廈談論香港的發展，我感到很榮幸。各位可能還記得我上次在兩年多前到過華盛頓，並在2017年5月3日在同一棟大樓、同一委員會上作證。At the time, I warned about the probable disqualification of my friend Nathan Law, who had been Asia’s youngest democratically-elected legislator and who is in the audience this morning.

我當時曾說香港的「一國兩制」正在變成「一國一點五制」，但我認為，任何關注近期局勢發展的觀察家都不會懷疑，今天我們距離「一國一制」已是觸手可及。The present state of affairs reveals Beijing’s utter inability to…
