According to the WeChat public account of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, in response to the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee's concoction of a Hong Kong-related resolution, and the US "Congressional-Executive Branch China Committee" publishing Hong Kong-related fallacies, openly slandering and smearing the Hong Kong National Security Law and the situation of human rights and rule of law in the SAR, and supporting Jimmy Lai and other elements who oppose China and destabilize Hong Kong, the spokesman of the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong expressed strong condemnation and resolute opposition, pointing out that what US and Western politicians do will only expose their own ugliness, so that the world can clearly see that they collude to shield anti-China and destabilizing elements in Hong Kong. Interfering with the true face and sinister intentions of disrupting the rule of law and order in the SAR!
The spokesman pointed out that since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the practice of "one country, two systems" has achieved universally recognized success, won the full support of more than 14.<> billion Chinese people, including the people of Hong Kong, and has also been widely praised by the international community. Under the protection of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the new electoral system, the rule of law and order in the SAR have returned to the right track, and the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents have been better protected in a safer environment. People from all walks of life in Hong Kong and international stakeholders have truly felt the new face of Hong Kong and are full of confidence in the future development prospects of the HKSAR.
The spokesman stressed that the rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, and Hong Kong society must operate on the track of rule of law. People will not forget that during the "turmoil over the amendment of the extradition bill," "Hong Kong independence" was rampant, "black riots" were rampant, "speculation" was rampant, smashing, looting, burning and killing were everywhere, and external forces openly instigated the Hong Kong version of the "color revolution" in a vain attempt to separate Hong Kong from China again. People will not forget that Jimmy Lai and other anti-China and destabilizing elements in Hong Kong visited everywhere, openly begging the United States to sanction China and Hong Kong, and even clamoring for "fighting for the United States." The pile of crimes they committed are unbearable under the law!
The spokesman reiterated that certain politicians in the United States and the West "will oppose China whenever they are" and "make trouble whenever they are in Hong Kong"; they flaunt respect for the rule of law and judicial independence, but they are doing evil things that interfere with judicial justice. They claim to uphold human rights and freedoms, but they shield and condone criminal acts that endanger the lives of others and the safety of the public. The harder these clichés of "political liars" work, the clearer their vile face as beam-jumping clowns will be, and the more difficult it will be to wash away the stain they leave on history!
The vivid facts of the successful practice of "one country, two systems" are by no means distorted and reversed by some narrow and groundless slander and slander, and the historical process of "one country, two systems" being stable and far-reaching cannot be stopped by some statements and resolutions. We urge US and Western politicians to put themselves in a correct position, recognize the reality, and immediately stop interfering in and smearing "one country, two systems" and Hong Kong affairs, otherwise they will only suffer defeat after failure!
