Zhang Xiaoming: The design and improvement of Hong Kong’s electoral system are purely China’s internal affairs, and no foreign country has the right to make irresponsible remarks.

　　China News Service, Beijing, March 12 (Reporter Chen Xiaoyuan) Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council in charge of daily work, said in Beijing on the 12th that how to design and improve the election system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is purely China's internal affairs, and no foreign country has the right to do so. Make irresponsible remarks.

　　At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that day, a reporter mentioned that after the National People’s Congress passed a decision on improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s electoral system, the US State Department spokesperson claimed that the move was a blow to the democratic process in Hong Kong.

Zhang Xiaoming made the above remarks on this.

　　Zhang Xiaoming said that the United States itself also has very strict laws and regulations to prevent foreign interference in elections, including the recent passage of a bill on the revision of election laws by the House of Representatives of the United States Congress.

Why is it that the United States can amend election laws at any time as needed, but is so interested, so nervous, and so interfering with the amendment of the laws of a special administrative region of China?

　　He mentioned that during the Hong Kong "Regulations Amendment Disturbance" in 2019, when rioters beat and burned on the streets and even attacked the Legislative Council, American politicians gloated and praised "this is a beautiful landscape"; on January 6 this year, When American demonstrators rushed into Capitol Hill, they quickly characterized it as "domestic terrorism." Isn't this a typical and naked double standard?

There were a lot of chaos in the US presidential election last year. After the violent attack on Capitol Hill earlier this year, what moral capital does US politicians have to criticize the election system of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China?

　　Zhang Xiaoming pointed out that at the 46th meeting of the UN Human Rights Council, 70 countries signed a statement urging relevant parties to stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs. This fully demonstrates that hegemonic behavior is unpopular.

　　Zhang Xiaoming said that the United States often wields the "sanctions" big stick, which has long been despised.

The director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council Xia Baolong, deputy director Deng Zhonghua and other colleagues and himself were included in the so-called "sanctions list" by the US government last year, and they are all "proud" of this.

For this kind of sanctions, China has always adhered to the principle of "coming and not insulting," and countermeasures will surely make the United States remember.
