'Chinese Communist Party cannot be trusted': Barr condemns Hong Kong protester arrests

Attorney General William Barr and other U.S. leaders condemned the Chinese government’s move to arrest more than a dozen leaders from Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement for alleged crimes stemming from last year’s mass protests.
“I condemn the latest assault on the rule of law and the liberty of the people of Hong Kong,” Barr said on Saturday. “These events show how antithetical the values of the Chinese Communist Party are to those we share in Western liberal democracies. These actions — along with its malign influence activity and industrial espionage here in the United States — demonstrate once again that the Chinese Communist Party cannot be trusted.”
Over the weekend, the ruling Chinese Communist Party arrested 15 of the key leaders of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, a former British colony with semi-autonomous status, in an effort to continue to crack down on anti-authoritarian thought in the city following protests that rocked it last year. Some were released on bail over the weekend, and all must appear in court on May 18.
The mass demonstrations, which swept Hong Kong last fall, centered on a since-abandoned effort by Hong Kong’s China-dominated government attempting to impose extradition laws, which would allow citizens of Hong Kong to be brought to mainland China to be tried for crimes. Those protests quickly gave rise to the broadest civil unrest under Chinese rule since China assumed sovereignty over the former colony in 1997.
