  On July 16, local time, the US government brazenly fabricated the so-called "commercial warning", groundlessly discredited Hong Kong's business environment, and sanctioned officials of the central government agencies in Hong Kong.

The US move seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, and was a naked intervention in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs.

China firmly opposes this and strongly condemns it.

Any attempt to intervene in Hong Kong affairs and contain China's development is doomed to fail.

The Chinese people will surely give a head-on blow to the wanton and reckless actions of the United States!

  The US government’s comments on Hong Kong’s current business environment are pure nonsense.

The Hong Kong National Security Law protects Hong Kong's safety, stability, and tranquility. It has effectively promoted Hong Kong's transformation from chaos to governance over the past year, and has also provided a good social environment for Hong Kong's economic development.

The data clearly shows that investors' confidence in Hong Kong has not been shaken by the Hong Kong National Security Law, but has greatly increased.

Over the past year, Hong Kong’s IPO funds raised exceeded 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of more than 50% over the previous 12 months; the average daily turnover of Hong Kong stocks reached 160 billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly 70% higher than before the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law; the linked exchange rate system was also It is functioning well, and the Hong Kong dollar market has recorded a net inflow of funds in 2020.

  The "2021 World Investment Report" issued by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development pointed out that Hong Kong is one of the regions attracting the most foreign direct investment in 2020.

The report issued by the International Monetary Fund not long ago reaffirmed Hong Kong's status as an international financial center.

International investors generally believe that after the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Hong Kong's status as an international financial center will be more stable and the business environment will be better.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong recently issued a statement stating that Hong Kong plays a vital role as an international business center and remains an important and active promoter of East-West trade and capital flows.

  The U.S. government ignores China’s opposition and the voices of the business community, arbitrarily concocting the so-called “warnings”, slandering the prospects of Hong Kong, and threatening foreign investors in Hong Kong, fearing that Hong Kong’s business environment is fake, trying to undermine Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability and endanger China It is true that national security is obstructing China's development.

The despicable U.S. government's conspiracy is contemptible and will never succeed!

The US government’s so-called sanctions are at best a piece of waste paper, and it is even more wishful thinking to put pressure on China through sanctions.

In the past few years, China has fought resolutely and vigorously countered the so-called extreme pressure on the US side.

If the U.S. government insists on using this trick, we will accompany it to the end!

  Just as the U.S. government staged another shameless farce, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Macau held a video link on the "Review and Prospects of the First Anniversary of the Implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law". The attendees utterly slammed the American and Western powers: brutal trampling. International law, interference in China’s internal affairs, and so-called meaningless sanctions will ultimately only be throwing stones on one's own feet.

  Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Whether it is enacting and implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law or improving the Hong Kong election system, it is China's internal affairs, and the United States has no right to interfere.

The Chinese people have never believed in or feared evil.

The so-called sanctions imposed by the US on Chinese officials will not change the Chinese government’s firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty, security, development interests, and Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability in accordance with the law. The Chinese people and the people of the world have further seen the ugly face of American hegemonism and power politics.

China urges the US to immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and interfering in China's internal affairs.

China will take all necessary measures in accordance with the law to defend its sovereignty, security and development interests.

  The Communist Party of China has ushered in its centennial birthday. The days when China was bullied, oppressed, and enslaved by foreign forces are gone forever. Whoever wants to do this will surely encounter the Great Wall of Steel built by more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. Battered!

People of insight in the international community will firmly oppose US hegemonism and power politics and stand firmly on the side of justice.

  At present, China has embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, making every effort to implement the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area strategy.

With the implementation of Hong Kong’s National Security Law and the implementation of the improved election system, Hong Kong’s position as an international financial, trade, and shipping center will be more stable, the rule of law and business environment will be better, and the social atmosphere will be more harmonious. The "Pearl of the Orient" will surely be integrated into the overall development of the country. Bloom more dazzling light.
