Thousands of activists and supporters of independence in Hong Kong gathered in the center tonight for a rally they called "Thanksgiving Day".
In this way, they thanked the US for passing a law that supported the demonstrations in Hong Kong.
However, the demonstrators also promised to "continue to march" and fight for their goals, according to the AP agency.
US President Donald Trump signed a law passed by Congress on providing support to protesters in Hong Kong and sanctions against the Chinese authorities.
One of the laws prescribes economic sanctions for Hong Kong and Chinese officials found guilty of human rights violations.
Another bans the export of certain non-combat ammunition to the Hong Kong police.
Yesterday, China invited US Ambassador Terry Branstad for an interview to express "strong protest" over President Donald Trump's decision to sign the Hong Kong Human Rights Act.
