Spokesperson of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council: The so-called sanctions imposed by the United States against officials of the Chinese government and the Hong Kong SAR government are hysterical attacks of hegemonic habits.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 9th. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council said on the 9th that the US authorities recently announced that they would impose sanctions on the heads of the Hong Kong-related departments of the Chinese government and relevant officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, fully exposing the hegemony of some US politicians. The ethical habit is a hysterical episode after his political miscalculation on the Hong Kong issue, and it is doomed to be futile.
The spokesperson said that since the "Regulations Amendment Disturbance" in Hong Kong last June, some anti-China and anti-communist forces in the United States thought they had found new opportunities to instigate the "color revolution", and frequently arranged for leading Hong Kong opposition figures to visit the United States and receive high-level receptions, openly on the streets. The violent activities clamored and applauded, slandered and attacked the enforcement actions of the SAR government and the police, and provided support to the opposition and radical forces in Hong Kong through various means, and supported them. They also look forward to the fact that the Hong Kong opposition and radical forces will seize more than half of the seats in the election of the seventh legislative council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and realize the "trilogy" of seizing power. In June this year, after the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law, some American politicians seemed to be trampled on their feet and jumped in despair. From the abolition of the so-called special treatment of the United States to Hong Kong, to the international integration of some countries against China. The US has put pressure on the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and announced the so-called sanctions against the heads of the Chinese government’s Hong Kong-related agencies and the relevant officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. What the US has done completely ignores international law and norms of international relations and is an outright hegemonic act.
The spokesperson said that the real reasons for the US authorities and some US politicians' such anxious and presumptuous actions on the Hong Kong issue are to put it bluntly. First, they tried to conceal their incompetence in dealing with domestic epidemic prevention and economic issues, and used China to shirk their responsibilities. 1. The method of making foreign enemies transfers contradictions and eases the difficulties and pressures they face at home. The second is to see that the Chinese government has resolutely adopted various powerful measures, including the formulation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, to push Hong Kong to correct chaos and return to the right track. They deeply feel that it has worked hard for a long time to build Hong Kong into a "fortress of freedom" for China. The mainland's attempts to infiltrate, subvert, contain and contain China's development will fail. However, it can be said with certainty that neither of the US abacus will work. Under "One Country, Two Systems", we will never allow any external forces to use Hong Kong to carry out activities that endanger China's national security and the prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Hong Kong's future and destiny are firmly in the hands of the Chinese people, including Hong Kong compatriots. The shameless performance of American politicians is nothing but a vivid interpretation of American hypocrisy and American bullying, allowing the world to see the ugly face of modern hegemonists, and to see the true evil concealed under the cloak of "freedom" and "democracy".
The spokesperson said that we are pleased to see that Chief Executive Carrie Lam and many other SAR government officials have stated in response to the so-called US sanctions that maintaining national security is a glorious and noble responsibility. They will continue to serve the country and the country without fear of any threats. Hong Kong. We praise this kind of rigorous response!
