All we can do is open our borders for Hongkongers who want to leave.

This is maybe the most highly educated and productive population in the world. Any country would be lucky to get them.

Another thing the US can do (and other countries that criticise China's human rights policies) is set a better example in international affairs. People in the US and US-aligned countries can organise opposition, for example to end the blockade of Cuba, take care of the disadvantaged, and end the illegal wars and terrorism. Meaningful action we can all take, utilising the freedoms and privileges we have to criticise the actions of our governments.
