参议院多数党领袖麦康奈尔警告：如果香港重蹈六四美国将驱逐中国留学生

HH: What would you recommend to the president if they “manage it” with the use of violence and a Tiananmen Square-style response?
主持人：如果中共用暴力和天安门式的回应来“解决”香港问题，你会向总统作何建议？

MM: Well, I think it requires a significant response from us, in my opinion. I think that if the Chinese do crush this what I would call peaceful attempt to maintain their rights, it requires, it seems to me, America, which is known internationally for standing up for human rights, to speak up and to take more forceful action. That’s what I would recommend to the President. Obviously, that’s his decision in the end.
参议员：嗯，在我看来，我认为这需要我们做出重大回应。我认为，如果中共真的碾碎了香港人的和平维护自己权利的尝试，那么在我看来，这将要求美国——这个在国际上为了维护人权而闻名的国度——站出来并采取更有力的行动。这就是我向总统建议的内容。显然，这是他最终的决定。

HH: There are 450,000 PRC students in the United States. Would part of that forceful action include the expulsion of many, if not all, of them?
主持人：美国有450,000名中国学生。你提到的那部分强有力的行动是否包括驱逐许多（如果不是全部）的中国学生？

MM: I would look at all the options. You know, we have 75,000 Americans who live and work in Hong Kong as well. That’s truly an international city that has enjoyed a Western-style freedom for a very long time. I think the Chinese are playing with fire here, and hopefully they will not go too far.
参议员：我会考虑所有的选项。你知道，我们有75,000名美国人在香港生活和工作。这是一个真正的国际城市，在很长一段时间内享有西方式的自由。我认为中国人在这里玩火，希望他们不会走得太远。
