Hong Kong Equal Treatment Act

This bill would bar the U.S. government from treating Hong Kong differently from the People's Republic of China, regardless of any other law. It would require the President to block all property and transactions within U.S. control of foreign persons found to be involved in enforcing Hong Kong's national security law or in undermining democracy, free expression, or human rights in Hong Kong. The sanctions would also apply to leaders of entities involved in those activities, people who support or act for sanctioned persons, and board members or senior officers of sanctioned entities. The Secretary of State or the Secretary of the Treasury, each consulting the other, would determine who is covered.
