On May 9, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region completed the election of the new Chief Executive on the 8th.
The EU said in a statement that it regretted that the electoral process further disintegrated the principle of "one country, two systems" and violated democratic principles and political pluralism.
What is China's response?
Zhao Lijian pointed out that at a time when Hong Kong's new electoral system has taken root in an all-round way and the development of democracy has been optimized and improved, external forces such as the European Union jumped out impatiently, pointing and attacking and smearing the process and results of this election.
This fully exposed their true face of interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong under the banner of democracy and freedom.
All the Chinese people, including the vast number of Hong Kong compatriots, have long regarded their "double standards of democracy" very clearly.
In today's Hong Kong, this system no longer works, and their intervention tricks no longer work.
