TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As violence continues to escalate in Hong Kong, former American

representative to the United Nations (U.N.), Nikki Haley on Tuesday (Nov. 12) urged U.S. citizens to stand with Hong Kong's protesters.

According to Liberty Times, Haley appeared on Fox News' "The Daily Briefing" and was interviewed by former White House Spokesperson Dana Perino about Hong Kong's social movement for democracy. Perino asked if the U.S. government and its people should voice their support for the Hong Kong protesters.
