Hong Kong Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China “No absolute press freedom in the world” 11:42, August 11

A Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Hong Kong issued a statement on the night of the 10th, saying, "The Hong Kong National Security Act guarantees the freedom and rights of Hong Kong residents, including the freedom of the press. Freedom does not exist, and press freedom cannot be used as an excuse to interfere with China's internal affairs and destroy China's security and Hong Kong's stability."

In addition, the Hong Kong Macau Secretariat, which is in charge of Hong Kong issues in the Chinese government, said in a statement, "Hong Kong residents enjoy unprecedented democratic rights and extremely wide freedom under the one-country-two system. It is unacceptable to go beyond the minimum line of the national system and to challenge the law,” he insists, “Molecular elements that harm national security must be severely punished, and they must not relax.” ..

In Hong Kong, wide freedom of press has been recognized under the one-country-two system, but the Chinese government is trying to justify its own actions to strengthen its control in Hong Kong.
