China News Service, Hong Kong, August 9th. The spokesperson of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong Liaison Office) issued a statement on the 9th, pointing out that the recent Hong Kong public opinion has formed a strong wave of condemnation of US hegemony. Cheers from public opinion and netizens. Justice is in the hearts of the people, and mainstream public opinion has once again proved that the so-called sanctions by the US are arrogant and unreasonable, and will eventually become the laughing stock of the world.
The spokesman said that from yesterday to now, the relevant Hong Kong-related work departments of the central government and the SAR government have successively made public responses, expressing a solemn stand that strongly condemns the evil acts of the United States. Our officials who have been included on the US sanctions list publicly stated that they "have no fear of US sanctions", which demonstrates their firm defense and loyalty to the interests of the country and Hong Kong. We have noticed that these responses have been widely reported by the Hong Kong media, and all sectors of society have voiced their support and echoes, and relevant content continues to have a screen effect on the Internet. Netizens expressed their support and praise in various forms such as messages, cartoons, and short videos. They believed that the United States was "bluffing" and was a "jumping clown", and sanctions "have no substantive effect." The main theme, the total amount of interactions on social platform related topics reached 7.12 million times. The strong public opinion and online public opinion once again proved that the Chinese people cannot be frightened, and the so-called sanctions are nothing but a joke and farce.
The spokesperson pointed out that officials of the Central Hong Kong-related work department and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region govern Hong Kong in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law and are staunch defenders of the overall interests of Hong Kong and the fundamental welfare of the people. Mei Ya said that "the recent actions taken by China have fundamentally undermined Hong Kong's autonomy and democratic process", which is a complete reversal and absurdity. The U.S. is in close contact with the opposition in Hong Kong, wantonly hitting the "one country, two systems" and Hong Kong's national security red line, causing Hong Kong society to fall into prolonged turmoil. They are the destroyers of Hong Kong's democracy, freedom and high degree of autonomy. It must be noted that some US politicians have repeatedly used Hong Kong to make a fuss about Hong Kong in an attempt to cause trouble for China and hold back China's footsteps. It is doomed to fail. We also advise those local reactionaries in Hong Kong who have long colluded with external forces. From ancient times to the present, those who have lost their national stand and integrity and endangered the motherland and homeland are doomed to end badly.
The spokesperson pointed out that the United States has always advertised democracy and freedom and respect for human rights and privacy. Recently, it has been unreasonably charged with "threatening the security of personal data of American citizens" by imposing unreasonable restrictions, frenzied suppression, and even extortion of Chinese communications technology companies. This time, the U.S. government removed its mask of moral hypocrisy and disclosed the address and personal identification information of our officials on the official website of the Ministry of Finance. This severe violation of personal privacy has no political or moral bottom line. It will only allow the world to see its arrogant and despicable "double standards", see its hypocrisy and ugliness, and accelerate its moral credit bankruptcy. (Finish)
