China News Service, Beijing, May 29 (Li Jingze, Zhang Su) The United States claims that Hong Kong-related national security legislation impairs Hong Kong ’s high degree of autonomy and freedom, and requires the UN Security Council to hold a meeting on Hong Kong-related national security legislation. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 29th that "the US approach is completely unreasonable."

  A reporter asked questions. According to reports, the United States claimed that Hong Kong ’s national security legislation impaired Hong Kong ’s high degree of autonomy and freedom, which was related to international peace and security, and requested the Security Council to hold a video conference on this. What is China's comment?

  "The US approach is completely unreasonable." Zhao Lijian said that regarding Hong Kong's national security legislation, China's attitude and position have been clearly stated. He emphasized again that Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China and a local administrative region directly under the Central People's Government of China.

  Zhao Lijian pointed out that the establishment and improvement of the legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security at the national level is to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and to ensure the stability of the "one country, two systems" policy. This issue is purely China's internal affairs, and no foreign country has the right to interfere.

  "Everyone knows that the responsibility of the Security Council is to maintain international peace and security. The issue of Hong Kong's national security legislation is simply not within the scope of the Security Council's responsibility." Zhao Lijian pointed out that non-interference in internal affairs is an important principle of the UN Charter and a basic norm of international relations.

  He said that the United States asked the Security Council to discuss Hong Kong-related issues, openly interfere in China's internal affairs, and wantonly undermine the basic norms of international relations. The Chinese side naturally decisively and resolutely opposes and their plot will never succeed.

  "The Security Council is not a tool that the United States can manipulate at will. China and internationally presiding over justice will not allow the United States to kidnap the Security Council for its own political purposes. It is fair and free-hearted, whoever insists on multilateralism, who supports the United Nations, who is negative Everyone knows the responsibility of a member of the United Nations. "Zhao Lijian said that China urges the US to immediately stop such unnecessary political manipulation and do something useful for the international community. (Finish)
