Threatening and intimidating oneself to reap the consequences, Hong Kong Office: Chaotic Hong Kong Anti China Office | Hong Kong | In vain
In response to the so-called "Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Certification Act" proposed by individual anti China members of the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee on July 13, which will be submitted to the Senate plenary session for review, wantonly smearing and slandering the "One Country, Two Systems" policy, advocating for the cancellation of the privileges and exemptions of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Economic and Trade Office in the United States, and even closing the office, as well as gross interference in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs, the spokesperson for the Hong Kong Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns and firmly opposes it, urging the US to immediately stop pushing forward with the relevant bill.
The spokesperson stated that since the return of Hong Kong, the principles of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", and a high degree of autonomy have been effectively implemented, and the various rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law have been fully protected. Hong Kong has a stable position as an international financial, shipping, and trade center, with a rapid rise in innovative technology industries, a world leading free and open environment, and a world-class business environment. The existing laws, including common law, have been maintained and developed, and the achievements of the "One Country, Two Systems" practice and development are widely recognized.
The spokesperson pointed out that currently, Hong Kong has entered a stage of governance and revitalization, and all citizens are delighted. International investors have cast a vote of confidence for Hong Kong's development through practical actions. Hong Kong is the largest source of trade surplus in the United States and a treasure trove for many American companies to invest and develop. The Special Economic and Trade Office is an economic and trade institution established by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government overseas. Its successful and smooth operation is conducive to expanding practical economic and trade cooperation between Hong Kong and relevant countries and regions, and is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. A few American politicians have disregarded the unanimous demands of the Hong Kong people for stability, progress, and development, disregarded the common interests of the international community in Hong Kong, and deliberately concocted evil laws related to Hong Kong. They have politicized and instrumentalized economic and trade issues, serving their own political self-interest, harboring the evil intent of "using Hong Kong to contain China", and exposing the face of hegemonic hegemony.
The spokesperson emphasized that no amount of stigma can stop the historical trend of Hong Kong's governance and development, nor can it slow down Hong Kong's firm pace of integration into the overall development of the country. If American politicians persist in pushing forward relevant bills, it will ultimately harm the interests of the US side and damage its own credibility. They will only lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot. China will never accept any bullying or threats, and will take strong measures to resolutely defend its sovereignty, security, and development interests.
