China News Agency, Hong Kong, July 12 (Xinhua) In response to the White House's announcement to re-extend the so-called "national emergency declared in response to the situation in Hong Kong", the spokesperson of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) expressed firmness on the 12th. Oppose and strongly condemn the above-mentioned wrongful act of the United States, which relentlessly interferes in Hong Kong affairs.
The spokesperson pointed out that on the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the US re-imposed its despicable tactics of sanctioning Hong Kong, which once again exposed its power politics and robbery logic of self-reliance and doing whatever it wants.
The US has generalized the concept of national security, linked Hong Kong to its "national emergency", falsely claimed that the so-called "Hong Kong situation" poses a threat to its national security, and made up excuses to continue to impose arbitrary sanctions on Hong Kong, which is a blatant interference in China's internal affairs.
The spokesperson stressed that the unilateral sanctions imposed by the US have no basis in international law and have no legitimacy.
No matter what label or slogan the U.S. puts on sanctions, it cannot hide their illegal nature of trampling on international justice and seriously violating the principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations.
The spokesman said that since the return of Hong Kong 25 years ago, with the full support of the central government and the joint efforts of the SAR government and all sectors of society, the practice of "one country, two systems" has achieved universally recognized success in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's economy is booming, and various social undertakings are progressing in an all-round way. Hong Kong's vitality as an international metropolis has amazed the world.
With the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong and the successful practice of the new electoral system in the SAR, national security has been maintained, Hong Kong society has become more stable and united, and Hong Kong's democratic development has returned to the right track, opening a new chapter of good governance.
The spokesman pointed out that in the eyes of US politicians, the great situation of Haiyan Heqing in the Hong Kong SAR is not in line with the "strategic layout" and fundamental interests of the US, and the more stable Hong Kong is, the more anxious they will be.
Facts have proved that no amount of sanctions, no matter how indiscriminate, is just a piece of waste paper!
Any external obstruction is just a bullshit. It cannot shake the common will of all sectors of Hong Kong to safeguard the rule of law and order, maintain the prosperity and stability of the SAR, and cannot shake the firm determination of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests!
The spokesman emphasized that Hong Kong is currently in a new stage from chaos to governance to governance and prosperity. With the strong support of the central government and the strong backing of the great motherland, I believe that the new SAR government will unite and lead all Hong Kong citizens to unite. Go in the same direction and jointly build a better Hong Kong.
Any sinister attempt to use sanctions to interfere in Hong Kong affairs and undermine Hong Kong's prosperity and stability will not succeed, and the attempt to play the "Hong Kong card" to contain China's development is even more wishful thinking.
