China News Service, May 29th Question: China's own security "patch", why the United States is not happy?
Author Yan Yuan
The Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress of China, which closed on the 28th, reviewed and passed the "Decision of the National People's Congress on Establishing and Improving the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanism for the Maintenance of National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region", which laid an important legislative patch for the maintenance of national security. ". However, just a few hours before the General Assembly ’s deliberations, US Secretary of State Pompeo issued a statement threatening to cancel the special US treatment for Hong Kong. After the adoption of the national security legislation in Hong Kong, Pompeo and several foreign ministers signed a statement to put pressure on China.
National security legislation is the central authority in any country. This legislation is clearly an internal matter of China, which makes one wonder why the United States has come out to make irresponsible remarks about China's internal affairs or even threaten it.
You should know that the United States is the global "leadership" of national security legislation-the United States is the earliest country that specifically enacts national security legislation and has the most complete national security legal system. It has formulated dozens of laws for national security issues, which can be said to be built. The "copper wall and iron wall" to maintain the national security of the country. Therefore, the United States cannot fail to understand the necessity and importance of China to fill loopholes in security legislation in Hong Kong.
Since the return of Hong Kong ’s national security legislation, it has been unresolved since the reunification. In response to Hong Kong ’s national security situation and the practical difficulties of legislation, the central government has taken action from the national level. It is reasonable and legal, and also meets the expectations of the people of the country. Passed by a high vote at the Congress. This is enough to show the high consensus on this legislation in China. At this time, American politicians expressed threats of pressure, and the reason is that the United States is actually playing the "Hong Kong card" habitually under the multiple political considerations of containment, trade wars, and epidemic outbreaks against China.
From the technical aspect of Pompeio's statement that the "Sino-British Joint Statement", as the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said, the legal basis for the Chinese government to govern Hong Kong is the Chinese Constitution and the Hong Kong Basic Law, not the "Sino-British Joint Statement." . The ultimate goal and core content of the "Sino-British Joint Statement" is to determine that China will take back Hong Kong. There is no single word or clause that gives the UK any responsibility for Hong Kong after its return. Therefore, the US actually has no legal basis and no qualification to invoke the "Sino-British Joint Statement" to make irresponsible remarks on Hong Kong affairs. The real fact is that the United States has been blatantly violating the principles of international law, interfering in the internal affairs of Hong Kong, intervening to incite Hong Kong's black violence, and creating social unrest in Hong Kong. This time it is also a blatant intervention to pressure China's legitimate legislative affairs.
Therefore, China has made up for its own security loopholes, and Americans who do not have any qualifications to speak irresponsibly but threaten, actually reflect the true thinking of the United States-the more Chinese security loopholes, the more beneficial the United States will be. Hong Kong's long-standing vacancy in national security legislation is a veritable "undefended" international metropolis. To some extent, it has become an intelligence paradise and anti-China base for Western countries such as the United States. Economic interests and political interests are closely intertwined. China's security "patch" just happened to block the "gray" loophole in the United States and other external forces that continue to do whatever they want in Hong Kong.
While threatening to cancel the special treatment in Hong Kong, Pompeo declared that "the United States stands with the people of Hong Kong." If American politicians are truly concerned about the well-being of the people of Hong Kong, they will not be indiscriminate. They will turn a blind eye to the black violence and terrorist acts that have occurred in Hong Kong for more than a year, and they will turn a blind eye to the threat to the personal safety and freedom of the people of Hong Kong. The frequent use of economic sanctions threatens Hong Kong's economy and creates a humanitarian crisis.
From a practical point of view, under the epidemic, the U.S. government has blindly spread political viruses, trying to "dump the pot" to discredit other countries, and ignore the lives and deaths of its own people. As a result, the number of deaths due to the epidemic has exceeded 100,000, which is widely questioned at home and abroad. Today, it is not far away to care about the well-being of the people of Hong Kong, and regardless of their sincerity, just how much they care about the people of Hong Kong really needs a question mark.
