#Opinion by 錢志健 Edward Chin｜"The heightened suppression of Hong Kong people, restriction of freedom of speech and destruction of the city’s core values could result in more sanctions from the US against the key personnel who undermine the city’s freedoms. And yes, Trump administration has recently made history by meeting with the president of the Tibetan government in exile. "

今天是國際宗教自由日。美國國務院負責國際宗教自由事務的無任所大使布朗巴克（Sam Brownback）指出：「中國向信仰宣戰。我們看到中國政府在加劇迫害中國所有地區的幾乎各種信仰的信徒。在新疆，中國將100多萬穆斯林少數民族人關進拘留營，目的是抹煞他們的文化、身份認同和信仰。
從一些報告中看出，中國當局從包括法輪功、維吾爾族人、藏族佛教僧人和地下教會基督徒在內的良心犯身上強行摘除器官。這應讓所有人的良知受到震撼。中國加強了對基督教徒的壓制，關閉教堂，逮捕和平遵從宗教教規的信徒。
對此，我們對中國說：不要誤解；你們對信仰開戰是不會得勝的。這將對你們在國內和全球的地位產生後果。」
「美國不會是宗教壓迫的旁觀者。我們要走上擂台，為那些力求行使他們的宗教或信仰自由權利的人而鬥爭。我們有道義責任這樣做。」布朗巴克說。

Today is International Religious Freedom Day. U.S. State Department’s Sam Brownback, ambassador at large for international religious freedom, pointed out that “China has declared war on faith. We’ve seen increasing Chinese government abuse of believers of nearly all faiths and from all parts of the mainland. In Xinjiang, China has detained more than a million ethnic Muslims in camps that are designed to strip away their culture, identity and faith ...
We share reports — that others make — that Chinese authorities have subjected prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong, Uyghurs, Tibetan Buddhists and underground Christians, to forcible organ harvesting. This should shock everyone’s conscience. China also continues to interfere in Tibetan Buddhist practices and Tibetan culture, including by interfering in the selection, education and veneration of Tibetan Buddhist lamas. China has increased its repression of Christians, shutting down churches and arresting adherents for their peaceful religious practices.
And to this, we say to China: Do not be mistaken; you will not win your war on faith. This will have consequences on your standing at home and around the world.”
"The United States will not stand by as a spectator to religious oppression. We will get in the ring and fight for those seeking to exercise their right to freedom of religion or belief. We have a moral obligation to do so."
