At the Republican Party's rally in Pallang, during the demonstration of protest in Hong Kong, Rubio joined six others to support the protesters who are fighting for democracy in the city.
He expressed his full support for the aspirations of Hongkongers and condemned any violence against peaceful demonstrators. Rubio also expressed hope that the Hong Kong and China governments would listen to the protesters' pleas and start a dialogue.
Many event participants were delighted by the sight and thanked Rubio for his support. Such a statement from an American politician in Hong Kong is a vivid and symbolic gesture of support for the fight for democracy and freedom in the region.
