The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government fully supports the Central Government's countermeasures against the United States

　　China News Service, Hong Kong, August 10th. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government spokesperson said on the 10th that he fully supports the central government's countermeasures against the United States and will fully cooperate with the implementation.

　　According to the news released by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s Information Service on the same day, in response to the unreasonable implementation of the so-called “sanctions” on the Central People’s Government and the officials of the SAR government by the US government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China announced on the 10th that 11 US People impose sanctions.

　　The spokesperson said that the United States has blatantly deviated from international law and basic norms of international relations in recent months, ignoring the rampant atrocities that occurred in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the past year, using human rights, democracy, and autonomy as excuses to pass bills and announce administrative orders against Hong Kong. Defamation of the "Law on the Maintenance of National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China" passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and promulgated in Hong Kong fully exposed its double standards and hypocrisy, and seriously damaged bilateral relations. The central government and the SAR government have repeatedly expressed firm opposition to the actions of the United States, and the central government has also stressed that it reserves the right to take countermeasures.

　　The spokesman said that the U.S. government has recently intensified its efforts to impose so-called "sanctions" against officials of the Central People's Government and the SAR government. The behavior is despicable and shameless. The citizens of Hong Kong, like the people of the whole country, feel indignant.

　　The spokesperson emphasized that the central government imposed sanctions on 11 Americans in response to the wrong actions of the United States. This is a necessary measure to safeguard China's interests. The SAR government fully supports this and will fully cooperate with the implementation and follow up in accordance with the law. (Finish)
