China News Service, July 15 (Xinhua)-Recently, the United States ignored the solemn representations of China and signed the so-called "Hong Kong Autonomy Act" passed by the United States. In response to this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website issued a statement today saying that the US law case maliciously denigrated Hong Kong's national security legislation, threatened sanctions against China, seriously violated international law and basic norms of international relations, and was gross interference in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs. "The Chinese government strongly opposes this and strongly condemns it."
The statement pointed out that the formulation and implementation of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Maintenance of National Security" fully complies with the relevant provisions of the Chinese Constitution and the Hong Kong Basic Law, and will provide institutional and legal guarantees for the stability of "one country, two systems" and help maintain national sovereignty and security. 1. Development interests are conducive to safeguarding Hong Kong’s long-term stability and long-term prosperity and stability, and are unanimously supported and endorsed by all Chinese people, including the vast majority of Hong Kong compatriots.
The statement emphasized that Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and no foreign country has the right to interfere. China is unswerving in its determination and will to safeguard national sovereignty, safeguard Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, and oppose external forces to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs. The United States’ attempt to obstruct the implementation of Hong Kong’s national security law will never succeed. In order to safeguard its own legitimate interests, China will make the necessary response and impose sanctions on relevant US personnel and entities. We urge the US to correct its mistakes, refrain from implementing the so-called "Hong Kong Autonomy Act," and stop interfering in any way in China's internal affairs, including Hong Kong affairs. If the U.S. side sticks to its will, China will definitely respond.
