美國國務卿蓬佩奧接連發炮,繼譴責港府押後立法會選舉之後,又對港方以涉嫌違反「港版國安法」拘捕4名學生,以及取消民主派人士參選資格,表示嚴重關注。
蓬佩奧在社交網站貼文,批評北京繼續違背承諾,削弱香港的自治權。
他又在Twitter提到,現在該是時候停止中國不可持續的捕魚行為,他指有關行為違反規則,並故意破壞海洋環境。他指美方與厄瓜多爾站在一起,呼籲北京停止從事非法捕魚。
厄瓜多爾海軍近日發現一支龐大中國漁船隊,抵達其所屬加拉帕戈斯群島一帶專屬區附近捕魚。

We are gravely concerned by the arrests of four students in Hong Kong under the new National Security Law and by the disqualification of pro-democracy electoral candidates. Beijing continues to break its promises and eviscerate Hong Kong’s autonomy.

It is time for China to stop its unsustainable fishing practices, rule-breaking, and willful environmental degradation of the oceans. We stand with Ecuador and call on Beijing to stop engaging in illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
