China News Service, Beijing, September 9th (Reporter Huang Yuqin) In response to individual politicians in the United States and Britain making irresponsible remarks about the Hong Kong police's recent law enforcement actions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 9th that anything is anti-China chaos All attempts and actions by the Hong Kong elements to support their ambitions are bound to meet shameful failures.
A reporter asked, US Secretary of State Blincoln and British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Development Raab made irresponsible remarks about the arrest of relevant members of the "Stake" by the Hong Kong police and the Hong Kong National Security Law. What's China's comment on this?
Zhao Lijian stated that China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to individual Western politicians who openly slandered and slander the legitimate law enforcement actions of the Hong Kong police.
The Hong Kong police arrested relevant members of the "stake" who blatantly opposed the law. This is a legal, just and necessary move to firmly defend the authority of Hong Kong's national security law and to ensure the long-term stability of Hong Kong. The facts are clear and beyond reproach.
He pointed out that Hong Kong is a society under the rule of law, and the basic principles of the rule of law are laws that must be followed and violations of the law must be investigated.
No one can whitewash his illegal behavior under the guise of democracy and freedom. Anyone who violates the Hong Kong National Security Law and other Hong Kong laws must accept legal sanctions.
Since the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, national security has been maintained, Hong Kong society has returned to the right track, the rule of law and justice have been upheld, and the legal rights and freedoms of Hong Kong citizens and foreign citizens in Hong Kong have been better protected in a safer environment.
Any attack to smear Hong Kong’s National Security Law cannot change this objective fact, nor can it stop Hong Kong’s general trend of turning from chaos to governance, from governance to prosperity.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong, and Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs.
China firmly opposes the use of relevant judicial cases by external forces to slander Hong Kong’s rule of law and interfere in China’s internal affairs. Any attempt and action to support anti-China chaos in Hong Kong will inevitably fail shamefully.
