China News Service, August 8th. According to the website of the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, a spokesperson for the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong said that in response to the US Treasury Department’s announcement of imposing so-called sanctions on several heads of the Chinese government’s Hong Kong-related work agencies and Hong Kong SAR government officials. Extremely righteous and strongly protested, emphasizing that the U.S. wielding a big stick of sanctions will eventually shoot itself in the foot.
The spokesman said that enacting and implementing national security laws is a legitimate right of all countries. The Hong Kong National Security Law has established and improved the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security, and has promoted Hong Kong to set things right and return to the right track. It is conducive to the stability and long-term development of "One Country, Two Systems", conforming to public opinion, and winning popular support. The U.S. hysterically slandered, attacked and discredited Hong Kong’s national security laws, angrily imposed so-called sanctions on the heads of the Chinese government’s Hong Kong-related work agencies and officials of the SAR government, and did everything they could to obstruct and undermine Hong Kong’s efforts to maintain national security and fully exposed them. The gloomy mentality of not wanting others to install anti-theft doors has exposed his arrogant and hegemonic act of trampling on the principles of international law and the basic norms of international relations, and exposed his hypocritical lies of "maintaining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong."
The spokesperson pointed out that Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong. No external forces have the right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has a strong backing by the great motherland. Any attempt to disrupt Hong Kong will not succeed. No threat, pressure or sanctions will stop China. The great national rejuvenation cannot prevent the steady and long-term development of "one country, two systems".
The spokesperson emphasized that the Chinese government's determination to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests is unwavering, its determination to implement the "one country, two systems" principle is unwavering, and its determination to oppose external forces' interference in Hong Kong affairs is unwavering. Any sanctions by the United States will be futile. It will only reflect the United States’ wishful thinking of playing the "Hong Kong card" to contain China and the frustration of facing China’s strong development, reflecting the bright prospects of the "One Country, Two Systems" cause and the irresistible trend of the Chinese nation’s rejuvenation. . In front of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Hong Kong compatriots, any intervening force cannot escape the fate of making trouble, failing, making trouble again, and failing again!
