A question was raised that on July 28, New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Peters announced that the new government had suspended the agreement on the transfer of fugitive offenders between New Zealand and Hong Kong due to concerns over China’s implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law. What is China's comment?
The spokesman said that the relevant decision of the New Zealand side seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations and grossly interfered in China's internal affairs. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.
Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and no external forces are allowed to interfere. The Hong Kong National Security Law is an important measure to ensure the stability and long-term development of "One Country, Two Systems". After the implementation of the law, Hong Kong's legal system will be more complete, social order will be more stable, and the business environment will be better, which is conducive to the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.
Any attempt to put pressure on China will never succeed. China urges New Zealand to abide by international law and basic norms of international relations, immediately change its course and stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs in any way, so as not to cause further damage to China-New Zealand relations.
