The United States of America is seen as one of the most powerful countries in the world, fighting for freedom and democracy for all. Amidst the damage this Ukraine scandal has caused, undermining our legitimacy and power as a world super power, sanctioning China for its violations of human rights of the people of Hong Kong is not only the right thing to do in accordance with our morality, but also the right thing to do strategically. We cannot allow any country to commit this kind of travesty. If we let China get away with this, like Tiananmen Square, they will continue to brutalize their citizens and terrorize the ideals of democracy and freedom around the world.
