The US House of Representatives passed a bill to punish Chinese banks involving officials in Hong Kong security law enforcement and urged Trump to sign the law.

The US Senate today agreed to send President Donald Trump a bill proposing tough sanctions on the issue of Hong Kong, including penalties for banks that have played a role in "violating" their rights.

"This is more important than ever. I hope President Trump will immediately sign the law," said Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen.

It is not clear if Trump signed the bill.

The previous bill was passed by the US House of Representatives in the form of consensus, the method is applied to non-controversial bills and no senators object.

Earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared at a hearing on the situation in Hong Kong and said security laws marked the death of a "one-country, two-regime" model.

The United States has begun a process of depriving Hong Kong of special regulations, stopping defense exports and restricting the city access to US high-tech products.

The Hong Kong security law was passed on June 30, criminalizing four types of national security crimes: secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign countries or outside elements to endanger

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and many US lawmakers expressed displeasure when China passed a new security law.

China declared 52 countries in support of Hong Kong's security law, affirming that the law only targeted a small part of national security in the special zone, without affecting the majority of the remaining people.

Thousands of Hong Kong people on July 1 took to the streets to protest security laws.
