Chinanews.com, August 10th. According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in Canada, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Canada issued a statement on the Hong Kong statement issued by the foreign ministers of Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand: On August 9, Canada and other foreign ministers issued a statement to Hong Kong again. Making reckless comments on affairs and grossly interfering in China's internal affairs. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.
The spokesman said that in the face of a severe epidemic, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government decided to postpone the election of the seventh Legislative Council. This is a legitimate move to protect the lives and health of Hong Kong citizens and a necessary move to ensure the safety, fairness and fairness of the Legislative Council election. The words and deeds of some people in Hong Kong have broken through the bottom line of the law and have been stigmatized. The Hong Kong Returning Officer’s decision to invalidate his nomination for the Legislative Council is strictly in accordance with the Basic Law, Hong Kong National Security Law and Hong Kong election laws.
The spokesperson said that Hong Kong’s National Security Law has filled up Hong Kong’s legal loopholes, and is conducive to ensuring that the “One Country, Two Systems” policy is stable and far-reaching on the track of the rule of law. And freedom. After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, all the provisions related to the British side stipulated in the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" have been fulfilled. The legal basis for the Chinese government to govern Hong Kong is the Chinese Constitution and Hong Kong Basic Law, which has nothing to do with the "Sino-British Joint Declaration."
The spokesperson pointed out that the statements of Canada and other foreign ministers disregarded facts, deliberately, played double standards, interfered in China's internal affairs, were full of arrogance and prejudice, and seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations. Such actions will only undermine "one country, two systems" and harm the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents in accordance with the law. What I want to emphasize is that Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China and Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs. China urges relevant countries to immediately stop using Hong Kong-related issues to interfere in China's internal affairs, and not to go further and further down the wrong path.
