Hong Kong protesters have called for the passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act (HKHRDA). Some protesters have also raised funds to place advertisements in major international newspapers, launched online petition campaigns, waved the national flags of other countries, and used Twitter and Reddit to deliver information about the protests to foreign users in an attempt to raise more awareness.
1.2 The Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act

Since 2016 the bill, which applies globally, authorizes the US government to sanction those who it sees as human rights offenders, freeze their assets, and ban them from entering the US. Legislation similar to, and inspired by, the Act has subsequently been enacted in other countries.

It has funded trains, roads, and ports in many countries, but has left some saddled with debt. Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Pakistan have all expressed concerns about the programme. Recipient countries worry about debt accumulation and increased Chinese influence.

2.3 Is China Fascist?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Fascist is a form of radical authoritarian ultra nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. They regard a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. They view imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.
China has approved the removal of the two-term limit on the presidency, effectively allowing Xi Jinping to remain in power for life. The constitutional changes were passed by the National People's Congress, but it was widely believed that it would approve what it was told to.

3.1 China-US Conflict
China-US Relations
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/China–United_States_relations
As of 2019, the United States has the world's largest economy and China has the second largest. Currently, both countries used to have an extremely extensive economic partnership, and the great amount of trade between the two countries necessitated for constructive political relations, yet significant issues do exist. It is a relationship of economic cooperation, hegemonic rivalry in the Pacific, and mutual suspicion over the other's intentions. It has been described by world leaders and academics as the world's most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century. The relations deteriorated sharply under President Donald Trump, whose administration launched a trade war against China, political observers have started to warn that a new cold war is emerging.
Trade War
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/China–United_States_trade_war
President Donald Trump in 2018 began setting tariffs and other trade barriers on China with the goal of forcing it to make changes to what the U.S. says are "unfair trade practices". Among those trade practices and their effects are the growing trade deficit, the theft of intellectual property, and the forced transfer of American technology to China.
Passage of Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act (HKHRDA)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Human_Rights_and_Democracy_Act
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang responded that the bill "fully reveals the ill intentions of some people in the United States to mess up Hong Kong and contain China's development." Beijing and state media in mainland China, such as the official Communist Party newspaper People's Daily, condemned the move and said the country would take countermeasures.

3.2 China Economic Troubles
China as the only one of the world’s big three economies that isn’t slamming its foot on the growth pedal. It’s an extraordinary policy turnaround.
In 2008, when the global financial crisis hit, China unleashed the mother of all stimuli. Five cuts to the benchmark one-year lending rate were accompanied by a 4 trillion yuan ($563 billion) stimulus package that triggered an avalanche of bank lending, most of it to local governments for infrastructure investment. That set in motion one of the fastest accumulations of debt in human history.
Instead of making more credit available, policymakers are striving to redirect lending away from deadbeat state-owned enterprises to smaller, more efficient private companies. The result is an inevitable drag on growth. Industrial production in August grew at the slowest pace for a single month since 2002, while a price index of industrial products fell deeper into deflation. The biggest danger is that the economy slows more than policymakers expect, resulting in widespread unemployment and a downturn that becomes hard to reverse.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-25/fear-of-debt-slows-china-s-response-to-latest-economic-troubles
In 2019, China’s local governments face a record number of lawsuits for failing to pay their contractors as the country’s slowing economy puts a strain on public finances.
Chinese courts have listed 831 local governments as being in default in the first 10 months of this year, compared with 100 in the whole of 2018. The value of these local authorities’ overdue payments grew by more than 50 per cent from Rmb4.1bn at the end of last year to Rmb6.9bn ($984m) at the end of October.

3.3 Impacts of HK Protests On China
Under the ‘one country, two systems’ formula agreed as part of Britain’s handover of the territory to China, Hong Kong is guaranteed liberties which are unavailable on the mainland. China uses Hong Kong’s currency, equity and debt markets to attract foreign funds, while international companies use Hong Kong as a launchpad to expand into mainland China. Losing such a massive financing channel risks destabilizing the already slowing Chinese economy, hurting confidence that the Communist Party can continue to deliver prosperity after a strong, decades-long track record.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-protests-markets-explainer/explainer-how-important-is-hong-kong-to-the-rest-of-china-idUSKCN1VP35H
The UK Government’s response to the recent protests in Hong Kong has drawn attention to the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration: “The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, to which both the UK and China are States Parties, provides only for the suspension of the operation of a treaty in the event that it is breached.”
https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8616/CBP-8616.pdf
HKHRDA is a United States federal law that requires the U.S. government to impose sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials responsible for human rights abuses in Hong Kong, and requires the United States Department of State and other agencies to conduct an annual review to determine whether changes in Hong Kong's political status (its relationship with mainland China) justify changing the unique, favorable trade relations between the U.S. and Hong Kong.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Human_Rights_and_Democracy_Act
The legislation aims to safeguard Hong Kong’s civil rights and freedoms by linking the former British Colony’s special trade status to its continued autonomy from Beijing. Protesters are believing it could pressure the Hong Kong government into acceding to their political demands.
