China News Agency, Hong Kong, June 2 (Reporter Zhuo Long) The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Lin Zhengyue, said on the 2nd that some foreign governments have adopted double standards for Hong Kong-related national security legislation. Regarding China's national security, especially the current situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, these countries wear "tinted glasses".

  In the morning that Lin Zhengyue met with the media before attending the executive meeting, he said that some foreign governments have made high-profile responses to Hong Kong-related national security legislation and even threatened to take action, which is indeed a double standard. These countries attach great importance to their national security, but regard China's national security, especially the current situation in Hong Kong, but wear "tinted glasses".

  "This double standard approach has recently been clearly seen by everyone-how the recent riots in the United States have been handled by the local government. Compared to the riots in Hong Kong that happened almost the same last year, what position did they (the United States) take?" Lin Zhengyue said.

  Lin Zhengyue said that the so-called sanctions imposed by the United States or the cancellation of Hong Kong’s special status are “harmful to others”. Take the United States as an example. Over the past 10 years, Hong Kong has been the economy with the largest trade surplus in the United States. Moreover, Hong Kong unilaterally grants visa-free treatment to American passport holders, but Hong Kong people have not received the same treatment. In addition, more than 1,300 U.S. companies operating in Hong Kong have received preferential policies under the "Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement" (CEPA). These U.S. companies can enjoy the same treatment as Hong Kong companies entering the mainland market.

  Lin Zhengyue pointed out that the global economy is currently weak due to the new crown epidemic. The United States and other governments should respect each other when dealing with bilateral relations with Hong Kong, and "can't" and "shouldn't" take some actions against both parties to make each other economic And people's lives are compounded.
