China News Agency, Brussels, July 28. The spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union responded on the 28th to the EU’s series of measures against Hong Kong’s national security legislation, emphasizing its firm opposition to the European side’s wrong practices and has lodged solemn representations.
A reporter asked that the EU introduced a series of measures against Hong Kong’s national security legislation on the 28th, including restrictions on the export of sensitive technology and equipment to Hong Kong. How does China comment on this?
The spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union stated that China has repeatedly stated its position on Hong Kong’s legislation on safeguarding national security. Whether "One Country, Two Systems" is implemented well, the Chinese people, especially the people of Hong Kong, have the most right to express their opinions. The EU is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. The vast majority of Hong Kong residents believe that the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law will be more helpful in protecting the rights of Hong Kong residents, and will also be more conducive to maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. China has full confidence in this.
The spokesperson emphasized that China firmly opposes the relevant wrongdoings of the EU and has made solemn representations. Urge the European side to truly respect China's position on Hong Kong's national security issues and stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs in any way. (Finish)
