1:49Now PlayingHong Kong protesters held a Thanksgiving Day rally on Thursday night and urged the world to follow the US by passing laws backing human rights in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
US President Donald Trump signed the two bills into law on Wednesday.
One of the laws prescribes economic sanctions on Asia’s top financial hub and diplomatic action on Hong Kong and Chinese officials found guilty of human rights abuses.
The other bans the export of certain nonlethal munitions to Hong Kong police.
The protesters hope the laws will spur Britain and other Western nations to follow suit.
China reacted furiously to the US bills.
Hong Kong’s government also denounced the US legislation as “unreasonable” meddling, saying it sends the wrong signal to protesters and won’t help to ease the crisis.
The US legislation followed a stunning election victory by the pro-democracy camp in local elections on Sunday, in a stinging rebuke to Carrie Lam.
