A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns individual American politicians that the clamor to join forces to contain China in Hong Kong can only be a mere call! Rule of Law | Hong Kong | United States
In response to a letter from Chris Smith, Chairman of the China Committee of the Executive Branch of the United States Congress, and legislators Jeff Merkley, to the British Prime Minister, urging the UK and the US to coordinate their actions on the Hong Kong issue, jointly exerting pressure on China, and using the Lai Chi ying case to make baseless remarks and indiscriminately attack and smear Hong Kong's rule of law, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition.
The spokesperson reiterated that since the implementation of the National Security Law, Hong Kong society has returned to a peaceful and peaceful state, and the various rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law have been better protected. Hong Kong's development prospects are bright. Individual politicians from the United States and the West have repeatedly intervened recklessly in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs, repeatedly wielding sanctions and attempting to engage in political intimidation. Their despicable tactic of "using Hong Kong to contain China" has long been known to the public.
The spokesperson stated that Hong Kong is a rule of law society, where laws must be followed and violations must be investigated. Li Chih ying, an anti China and anti Hong Kong activist, incited violence during the "amendment controversy" and openly shouted "fight for the United States". The criminal facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, and he is suspected of violating Hong Kong's national security laws. The handling of the Li case in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in accordance with the law is a just act to uphold the rule of law in Hong Kong, and has nothing to do with press freedom and freedom of speech. No external forces are allowed to voice their opinions. Some American politicians have been wagging their lips and tongues at the Li Zhiying case, repeatedly intervening under the guise of press freedom. Now, they are trying to persuade their allies to jointly pressure China, but they can only bark and be helpless.
The spokesperson emphasized that Hong Kong is the Hong Kong of China, and the historical process of rectifying chaos in Hong Kong cannot be stopped. Any external intervention and smearing will be of no use. No matter what forces are behind it, no one can surpass the law. We urge relevant institutions and unscrupulous politicians in the United States to recognize the facts, abide by international law and basic norms of international relations, and immediately stop forming cliques to interfere in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs in the international community!
