China News Service, July 1st, China has enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law. The United States has recently announced a number of sanctions. In this regard, Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, said that as long as the United States takes action, the Chinese government and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will definitely take countermeasures. Relevant measures will also be seen on foot, one after another.

  On June 30, the 20th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress voted and passed the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Maintenance of National Security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and decided to include it in Annex III of the Hong Kong Basic Law. On July 1, the State Council Office held a press conference and asked Shen Chunyao, director of the Legal Work Committee of the National People's Congress, and Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, to introduce the relevant situation and answer questions.

  At the press conference, a reporter asked: China has enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law. In fact, the United States has recently announced a number of sanctions, including restrictions on visas for Chinese officials and cancellation of special treatment for Hong Kong. How will China respond? What specific countermeasures will be taken? The outside world is also concerned that because of the escalating US sanctions and China’s countermeasures, a financial war may erupt between the two countries and may shake Hong Kong’s status as a financial center. What is China’s response?

  Zhang Xiaoming said that the hands of some people in the United States are really too long. If their bullying habits occur, if they feel that their domestic chaos is not enough, if they don’t care that the self-impairment caused by the so-called sanctions may be greater than others, If they want to take the opportunity to pass on the crisis and play "dump the pot", then they will try to chant, nothing more than give us a chance to show our determination and ability to fight back in self-defense. In fact, you may have noticed that in the past two days, US Secretary of State Pompeo and the US Secretary of Commerce have announced several so-called sanctions, and the Chinese government has also imposed visa restrictions on people who perform badly on Hong Kong-related issues. We have an old saying, "You do the first day, I do the fifteen". As long as the United States takes action, the Chinese government and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government must counter it. Relevant measures will also be seen on foot, one after another.

  Zhang Xiaoming said that the special economic status of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, including its status as an international financial center, has been formed for a long time. It has been hard-working and hard-working by several generations of people in Hong Kong. It is also widely recognized by the international community and protected by the Basic Law. It is not from which country or which side is taken. We are not so worried about maintaining Hong Kong’s international economic status, because Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center and Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability basically depend on two things. One is that Hong Kong’s own business environment and financial system’s advantages will not. It will weaken, and the other is whether the momentum of the motherland’s economic development and the central government’s support for Hong Kong will continue. We have confidence in these two points, so we are full of confidence in the future of Hong Kong.
