The Hong Kong SAR government strongly opposes and condemns the US State Department's attempt to "demonize" the actions taken by the National Security Agency in accordance with the law
The Hong Kong SAR government strongly opposes and condemns today the attempt by the US State Department to "demonize" the actions taken by the National Security Service of the Police Force in accordance with the law.
The spokesperson of the SAR government emphasized that endangering national security is a serious crime, and no country will stand idly by in the face of actions and activities that endanger national security. The law enforcement agencies of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have always taken enforcement actions based on evidence, strictly in accordance with the law, and in accordance with the behavior of relevant individuals or units, regardless of their political stance, background, or profession. No matter how the country tries to use various forms and means and excuses to justify the fugitives, it cannot change the fact that the individuals involved are suspected of continuing to commit crimes under Hong Kong's National Security Law after fleeing from other places, which seriously endangers national security. The National Security Department's lawful arrest of individuals who have fled overseas and are suspected of committing crimes under Hong Kong's National Security Law, as well as subsequent investigation and law enforcement actions, is entirely reasonable, lawful, and necessary.
A spokesperson for the SAR government pointed out that Hong Kong residents enjoy the rights and freedoms protected by the Basic Law, the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance, and other relevant laws. The Hong Kong National Security Law also clearly stipulates that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should respect and protect human rights in safeguarding national security. Any law enforcement action to maintain national security will not affect the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law.
The spokesperson reiterated that the SAR government strongly urges the United States to recognize the facts, immediately stop slandering and smearing the Hong Kong National Security Law and its implementation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and immediately stop interfering in China's internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs.

The SAR government will continue to be fearless and unwavering in fully and accurately implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law, preventing, stopping, and punishing acts and activities that endanger national security in accordance with the law, so that Hong Kong can steadily move towards governance and prosperity.
