A series of protests against proposed U.S. legislation took place near the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong, according to a statement on the website of the U.S. Consulate General.

These protests are likely to continue throughout the week. The protests were peaceful in nature and the consulate's daily operations, including U.S. citizen services appointments and visas, were not affected.

Citizens who come to make an appointment are advised to avoid areas adjacent to protests when entering and exiting the consulate. As stated in the Hong Kong travel alert, protests are unpredictable and members of the public are advised to avoid protests if possible and exercise caution in their vicinity.

警告：美国驻香港总领事馆附近的抗议活动

美国总领事馆网站上的一份声明称，美国驻香港总领事馆附近发生了一系列针对美国拟议立法的抗议活动。

这些抗议活动可能会持续整个星期。 抗议活动本质上是和平的，领事馆的日常运作，包括美国公民服务预约和签证，没有受到影响。

建议前来预约的公民进出领馆时避开抗议活动附近区域。 正如香港旅行警告所述，抗议活动难以预测，建议公众尽可能避免抗议活动，并在附近保持谨慎。
