BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council on Sunday strongly opposed and condemned the U.S. intervention in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's domestic affairs.
A reporter asked that the US government issued the so-called Hong kong-related memorandum, saying that it would provide the so-called “Safe harbor”for Hong Kong residents in the US.
The memo asserted that the United States and its allies strongly opposed China’s breach of international commitments, criticized Hong Kong’s national security law for violating Hong Kong’s autonomy and democracy, and said they would continue to support the people of Hong Kong and “Stand with the people of Hong Kong.” How Do you comment?
A spokesperson with the office made the statement in response to a Hong Kong-related memorandum from the U.S. government.
When the U.S. government said that it wanted to stand with people in Hong Kong, it obviously wanted to stand with those few anti-China forces seeking to disrupt Hong Kong, the spokesperson said.
The U.S. government wanted to recreate turbulence in Hong Kong and hoped the anti-China forces seeking to disrupt Hong Kong would continue working for it, the spokesperson said.
Sponsoring Hong Kong-related organizations, and adopting Hong Kong-related bills and administrative measures, the U.S. government wanted to disrupt Hong Kong and contain China, instead of defending democracy, human rights and freedom or safeguarding the principle of 'one country, two systems' as it claimed, the spokesperson said.
The spokesman said that while the United States claimed to represent the international community and its Allies, the fact that the United States has a small number of people and weak representation has been evident in the UN Human Rights Council's discussions on hong Kong-related issues.
Hong Kong has regained stability and prosperity since the national security law took effect, the spokesperson said, adding that the continuous defamation from the United States and other few countries only showed that the law effectively struck anti-China forces seeking to disrupt Hong Kong and curbed foreign intervention.
'External intervention will not weaken the determination and will of the central government and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to fully enforce the national security law nor will it stop the development of Hong Kong and China,' the spokesperson said.
