On the 18th, the Hong Kong SAR government expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the so-called annual report issued by the European Commission and the remarks made by the EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy and Vice Chairman of the European Commission, in response to the unreasonable attacks and defamation of the Hong Kong SAR in safeguarding national security and safeguarding human rights.
The spokesperson of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government emphasized that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inseparable part of the People's Republic of China, and is a local administrative region that enjoys a high degree of autonomy under the "One Country, Two Systems" policy and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central People's Government. The implementation of "One Country, Two Systems" is based on the Constitution and the Basic Law of Hong Kong, which provide constitutional guarantees for basic rights and freedoms, including the right to equality before the law, and is further consolidated under the rule of law and independent judicial power.
The spokesperson reiterated that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region firmly upholds national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and fully and accurately implements the highest principle of the "One Country, Two Systems" policy. The SAR government will firmly and comprehensively implement the Hong Kong National Security Law, and further improve the legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security in the SAR. It will effectively prevent, stop, and punish behaviors and activities that endanger national security in accordance with the law, while safeguarding the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong citizens in accordance with the law, and ensuring the stability and progress of the "One Country, Two Systems" practice.
The SAR government strongly urges the EU to recognize the facts, comply with international law and basic norms of international relations, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs that are purely China's internal affairs.
The spokesperson stated that any foreign or external forces defaming the situation in Hong Kong and attempting to undermine its prosperity and stability will only expose its shortcomings, leaving no room for reason and will never succeed. The SAR government will continue to firmly fulfill its duties, committed to ensuring the stable and far-reaching implementation of the policy of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", and a high degree of autonomy. It will better combine the "promising government" and "efficient market", actively attract talents, enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness, promote Hong Kong's economy to a higher level, seek happiness for the citizens, and seek development for Hong Kong.
