Open Letter to Pompeo: Transferring Sovereignty Back to People of HK, Protecting Us So That We Can Have A Referendum On HK's Future
Elmer Yuan, a businessman in Hong Kong, addresses a letter to US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. As June 4th, the anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre arrives, Hong Kong braces for the looming passage of the Beijing's recently announced National Security Laws. It is legislation that effectively erases the One Country, Two Systems agreement originally contracted in the Joint Sino-British Agreement in 1997.

Dear Secretary Pompeo,
On behalf of our FREEDOM loving people in HK, I thank you for STANDING WITH HONG KONG.
The coming June 4th is the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. A pivotal moment in China’s hope for democracy.
Your decision to stand with freedom in Hong Kong shows your true dedication to human rights in today’s watershed moment, with the heroes of Hong Kong.
The millions of everyday Hong Kongers marching for the future of their home.
The nameless lawyers, volunteers, medical staff, journalists, artists doing their part to keep our voices alive.
The youth of Hong Kong daring to stand up for what they know in their heart to be right.
But the fight for freedom has come at great cost.
These warriors are our children and everyday Hong Kong kids.
And in the last 12 months, Too many have been arrested, tortured, raped, murdered and many allegedly shipped across the border to secret concentration camps, never to be heard of again.
Giving up their lives for a chance at the preservation of their city.
8934 protestors aged between 11 and 84 years have been arrested since June 9th, 2019.
After them, who will be left to fight?
How many of our young will have to sacrifice their futures for basic rights?
They are erasing our language.
Our identity as Hong Kong people.
Our right to speak.
Our rule of law.
Our children.
We need the US to stand up to the CCP, NOW.
Waiting for the National Security Law to be passed in late June is waiting for another Holocaust to begin.
The world has allowed China to commit mass atrocities against human lives under the pretense that one day they will stop.
They will never stop until they control the world, including America.
If it doesn’t stop here now, it will be too late. We must learn from history that appeasement will never work.
The one country two systems promised Hong Kong in the joint Sino-British Declaration has been obliterated.
Now is the moment for our world leaders to not only stand up but to fight. If done, history will remember America as a nation that dared, truly, to be a voice for freedom.
Here is what I ask:
Since the PRC has reneged on all its obligations in the Joint Sino British Declaration, HK Sovereignty should revert back to the UK. Please convince your ally UK to do the right thing this time, by transferring the Sovereignty back to the people of HK, on the condition of a genuine referendum in 6 months, supervised by international and independent judges, to choose their own future.
Hong Kong belongs to HK people.
Before the referendum, we need your troops to keep HK safe as West Berlin, from the Communist’s never-ending interferences, infiltrations, cheating, and persecution of our youths. Your 85,000 US citizens in HK also need your protection.
Lastly, while you are working to make South China Sea safe again, please include us in your battle plan. We are also in the South China Sea.
Mr. Secretary, as an ally in the free world, please make HK safe again.
Thank you.
God Bless USA
God Save HK.
