China News Service, March 23. According to the website of the Commissioner's Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, in response to US Secretary of State Blinken, the US "Congressional-Executive Commission on China" and other US officials and politicians in Hong Kong's "National Security Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as "Hong Kong") The spokesperson of the Commissioner's Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong expressed firm opposition and severe condemnation of the irresponsible remarks made when the National Security Ordinance (National Security Ordinance) was gazetted and came into effect, and stressed that:
First, safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests is the highest principle of the "one country, two systems" policy. To protect national security is to protect "one country, two systems" and Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. The Hong Kong National Security Ordinance has been gazetted and comes into effect, which will further consolidate the security foundation for Hong Kong's development, promote Hong Kong's acceleration of governance and prosperity, and ensure the stability and long-term development of "one country, two systems". All sectors of Hong Kong society highly support this and generally welcome it.
Second, the Hong Kong National Security Ordinance fully draws on the legislative experience of other countries, especially common law countries, and is in line with international law and common practice. The Ordinance clearly defines the elements of crimes, clearly stipulates the conditions and restrictions for law enforcement, fully protects the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents, and fully protects the normal activities of foreign institutions and personnel in Hong Kong. It is conducive to the SAR's better coordination of security and development, and its uniqueness. position and advantages to better deepen Hong Kong’s more open and closer exchanges and cooperation with other countries and regions.
Third, the human rights and democratic situation in the United States cannot be ignored. The national security legislation is airtight. The general abuse of the concept of national security to suppress other countries is almost paranoid. It abuses long-arm jurisdiction and unilateral sanctions and uses despicable means to suppress dissidents. This is unparalleled in the world. Out to the right. The United States keeps secret about this, but it criticizes Hong Kong's legitimate legislation to safeguard national security; it pretends to be deaf and dumb to its own country's deplorable record of human rights violations, but it is obsessed with spreading ideological prejudice on Hong Kong-related issues and frequently clamors for sanctions and pressure. "You are only allowed to lock your own door and not allow others to build a strong fence", which fully exposes the US's hypocritical "double standards", bullying and sinister intentions.
Fourth, in today’s Hong Kong, how can we allow others to do anything rash? How can Hong Kong people today be incited by evil words! No external interference or intimidation can shake the Chinese government's firm determination to fully and accurately implement "one country, two systems", nor can it shake the firm will of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Hong Kong compatriots, to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests! We strongly urge the United States to abide by the principles of international law and the basic norms of international relations, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs.
