Commissioner’s Office urges a few external forces to stop meddling with Hong Kong’s rule of law
2022-08-20 19:18

The spokesperson of the Commissioner’s Office of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the HKSAR strongly disapproved and firmly rejected the attempts of a handful of American and British politicians to interfere with Hong Kong’s rule of law and to whitewash anti-China forces by making irresponsible rhetoric about judicial proceedings of the SAR. We urge the politicians to refrain from undermining the rule of law in Hong Kong and stop their moves of disrupting Hong Kong and containing China.

The spokesperson said that the rule of law in the SAR has made steady progress after Hong Kong’s return to the motherland. In particular, since the implementation of the national security law and improvement of the electoral system, Hong Kong’s development has been back on track, the rule of law and justice upheld, and lawful rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents better protected, opening a new chapter of good governance in Hong Kong. Amid the “black violence” in 2019, anti-China elements in Hong Kong committed the crime of subverting state power under the guise of “democracy” and “freedom”, which highlighted the relevance and importance of the Central government’s decisive measures. Legal proceedings of the SAR have ensured fair trial of the cases and upheld judicial justice, which brook no external interference.

The spokesperson pointed out that some anti-China elements have already pleaded guilty, but even so, a very small number of politicians of the US and the UK still confuse black and white and interfere with Hong Kong’s rule of law and Hong Kong affairs, which fully exposes their real intention of disrupting Hong Kong. However, they are just overrating themselves. Clinging to such wishful thinking, these politicians are so pitiful, ridiculous and shameful.

The spokesperson stressed that Hong Kong is part of China and no external forces shall interfere in Hong Kong affairs. The trend of Hong Kong’s transformation from chaos to stability is unstoppable, and the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is irreversible. We urge individual American and British politicians to put themselves in the right position, recognize the situation, abide by the principles of international law and the basic norms governing international relations, stop emboldening anti-China forces in Hong Kong, and wake up from the daydreaming of “using Hong Kong to face down China”.
