China News Service, April 2nd. According to the website of the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, in response to an article published by the head of the US Consulate General in Hong Kong in the South China Morning Post on April 2, a spokesperson for the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong stated that the article Confusing right and wrong, reversing black and white, maliciously slandering Hong Kong’s national security laws, arbitrarily attacking the central government’s lawful improvement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s electoral system, and arbitrarily interfering in Hong Kong affairs, once again exposing the US’s deep-rooted ideological prejudices, notorious “double standards” and solitism Bullying mentality.

　　The spokesman said that no one hopes the success of "one country, two systems" more than the Chinese government, and no one cares more about the vital well-being of Hong Kong compatriots than the motherland.

Whether it is the promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the improvement of the SAR election system, the purpose is to stick to the original aspiration of "One Country, Two Systems", to ensure that "One Country, Two Systems" does not get out of shape, and to ensure the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.

If because of the National Security Law, Hong Kong’s loopholes in safeguarding national security have been plugged, and because the SAR election system has implemented the principle of “patriots ruling Hong Kong”, Hong Kong will become a Hong Kong that some people in the United States “no longer know”. The "understanding" is wrong and biased, and it just shows that the central government exercises the powers conferred by the Constitution and the Basic Law, and it is timely and necessary for the "one country, two systems" to correct the roots.

　　The spokesperson pointed out that legislating to safeguard national security is a country’s sovereignty and international practice, and the principle of "patriotic governance" has long been a common practice in all countries in the world.

The United States owns the world's most impenetrable national security laws, and it abuses the name of national security to damage the legitimate rights and interests of other countries, but on the contrary it unreasonably interferes with China's implementation of the national security laws in Hong Kong.

Some people in the U.S. have said that "patriotism cannot be enacted", but U.S. law clearly stipulates that the first general principle of the basic responsibilities of government workers is to be loyal to the U.S. Constitution and laws; anyone who supports the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution and government or participates in it. Organizations that strike against the U.S. government or participate in related activities are not allowed to hold positions in the U.S. government.

The criminal law of the United States clearly stipulates that persons who have committed crimes such as riots and treason shall not hold public office.

These people are clearly "only allowed to set fire to themselves and not let others light the lamp"!

　　The spokesperson pointed out that during the "Regulations Amendment Disturbance" in 2019, Hong Kong society was rampant, "Hong Kong independence" was rampant, and speculation was rampant.

Black-clothed thugs rushed into the Legislative Council building unscrupulously, beating, looting and burning on the streets, beating and assassinating the police, and drenching ordinary citizens with flammable liquid in broad daylight!

Some US politicians are blind and deaf because of their own interests, beautifying them as "peaceful demonstrations," and they are still arguing about their suspected violations.

In January this year, when the familiar scene appeared in the United States, the United States condemned it as a "rebellion" and characterized the demonstrators as thugs and extremists.

What a hypocritical "double standard"!

　　The spokesman pointed out that the United States kept saying that it would stand with the people of Hong Kong and demand that the SAR government respond to public opinion.

Do you know that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens are eager to maintain the rule of law and social stability, and they oppose violence, speculation and external intervention.

Last year, more than 2.92 million people in Hong Kong signed or co-signed to support national security legislation. Recently, 2.38 million people co-signed to support the National People’s Congress’s decision to improve the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s electoral system. Polls show that 70% of the people believe that improving the electoral system has strengthened Hong Kong people. Confidence in the future of Hong Kong.

This is the mainstream public opinion in Hong Kong society.

　　The spokesperson pointed out that the United States said that "external forces" have been treated as "scapegoats" and are doing everything possible to wash away their responsibilities.

During the "Regulations Amendment Disturbance," some American politicians competed to perform, cheering and cheering for the illegal and violent elements.

A few American conference members appeared on the streets of Hong Kong in black, blatantly saying that "no violence was seen."

Using human rights and freedom as an excuse, the US government and Congress passed various Hong Kong-related bills and introduced various sanctions, which severely endangered China's sovereignty and security, severely trampled on the rule of law in Hong Kong, and severely undermined the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.

It is not wrong to say that they are interfering in Hong Kong affairs!

　　The spokesperson emphasized that with the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the implementation of the new electoral system, the foundation of the "one country, two systems" system will be more solid, the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law will be better protected, and the lifestyles of Hong Kong compatriots are accustomed to. It will not change. Hong Kong society’s economic and people’s livelihood problems will be resolved more effectively, and Hong Kong’s existing development advantages will continue to be maintained and improved.

With the backing of a powerful motherland, with the joint efforts of Hong Kong compatriots, Hong Kong's tomorrow will definitely be brighter.

What is certain is that the days when foreign forces took Hong Kong as an "undefended" city and acted arbitrarily, and even regarded Hong Kong as an independent and semi-independent political entity is gone.

　　The spokesperson solemnly pointed out that any intervention, pressure and sanctions from external forces cannot stop the Chinese government from fully and accurately implementing the "One Country, Two Systems" determination, and cannot change the long-term stability of Hong Kong and the historical trend of "One Country, Two Systems". The people's firm will to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.

The US should face up to its own problems and take care of its own affairs instead of being a "teacher" everywhere.

We once again urge the United States to abide by the internationally recognized basic norms of international law and international relations such as non-interference in internal affairs, proceed from safeguarding its own interests and image, and stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs under the guise of values ​​such as human rights, freedom, and democracy.
