China News Service, August 8th. According to news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on the 8th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in response to reporters’ questions about the signing of the memorandum on Hong Kong by the U.S. President that the so-called memorandum by the United States has attacked and discredited Hong Kong’s national security law and China’s policy of governing Hong Kong. This is another bad performance of the US's gross interference in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs. China is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to this, and has lodged solemn representations with the US.
A reporter asked: On August 5, U.S. President Biden signed a memorandum criticizing the Hong Kong National Security Law, saying that in view of China’s serious violations of the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents, he has instructed to postpone the repatriation of some Hong Kong residents in the United States for 18 months.
Providing a "safe harbor" for Hong Kong residents who have been deprived of their liberty will promote the interests of the United States in the region.
What is China's comment?
In this regard, Hua Chunying stated that the US so-called memorandum attacked and discredited Hong Kong’s national security law and China’s policy of ruling Hong Kong. This is yet another bad example of the US’s gross interference in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs. China is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to this. Make solemn representations.
Hua Chunying said that the formulation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law has improved the rule of law in Hong Kong, restored the security and stability of Hong Kong, and ensured the legitimate rights and interests of Hong Kong residents.
The US's so-called "safe harbor" for Hong Kong residents is purely nonsense. Its true purpose is to support the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong, undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, and contain China's development.
Hua Chunying also stated that China urges the United States to truly respect China’s sovereignty, abide by the basic norms of international law and international relations, stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs, stop interfering in Hong Kong’s rule of law, stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, and not support and condone anti-China forces in Hong Kong in any way. Otherwise, It will surely shoot itself in the foot and seriously damage the US's own interests in Hong Kong.
