Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, said this morning (1st) that the National Security Law fully complies with the "One Country, Two Systems" principle, which is to adhere to the "One Country" principle and respect the "Two Systems" principle. A law that perfectly combines differences.
Regarding foreign criticism of Beijing for "one country, one system", Zhang Xiaoming countered that if the central government practices "one country, one system," "this matter is simple, and we can completely apply the criminal law, criminal procedure law, and national security of the People's Republic of China. These national laws, such as the law, are directly applicable to Hong Kong. Why should it cost so much to tailor a national security law for Hong Kong?"
Zhang Xiaoming also criticized foreign countries for pursuing sanctions. He criticized it as "robber logic", emphasizing that the national security law is the internal affairs of China, and even said in Cantonese: "If you make a mistake, it is your business!"

Zhang Xiaoming: The National Security Act is closer to the direction of "One Country"
Some reporters questioned that some Western media recently accused the National Security Law of violating "one country, two systems", threatening China to be sanctioned. Zhang Xiaoming responded that the legislative purpose of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law is to maintain "one country, two systems", and the content of the legislation does not exceed the framework of "one country, two systems." The legislative effects are now foreseeable, and will definitely make the practice of "one country, two systems" more stable and go further. far.
Zhang Xiaoming mentioned that some phenomena have already appeared in Hong Kong, deviating from the correct track of "one country, two systems", and even challenging the bottom line of "one country, two systems." To a certain extent, this law is to correct deviations, "it is to be closer to the direction of one country. "One point", the ultimate goal is to improve rather than change "one country, two systems."
He also pointed out that in the past two days, foreign politicians have publicly accused China of pursuing "one system, one system" in Hong Kong. "If we are going to implement "one country, one system," this matter will be simple. The national laws of the People’s Republic of China Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure Law, National Security Law and other national laws are directly applicable to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Why should it cost such a large chapter to tailor-made a national security law for Hong Kong? A key issue involved is that Is the "One Country, Two Systems" policy comprehensive and accurate?"

Zhang: The days when Chinese people look at their faces are gone
Zhang Xiaoming said that no matter in Hong Kong or internationally, some people distort the roots of one country, two systems. Whenever the central government exercises certain rights in accordance with the law, some people in the west come out to accuse China of undermining "one country, two systems." Instead, they can arbitrarily point their fingers." Instead, they asked how the central government ignored the separatist activities in Hong Kong, emphasizing that "one country, two systems" is China's national policy, "no one knows how to cherish "one country, two systems" better than us, and no one knows better than us. The true meaning of "one country, two systems" has more definition or interpretation power."
Regarding foreign sanctions against Chinese officials, Zhang Xiaoming described it as "robber logic", referring to the central government's enactment of a national administrative law for the maintenance of national security in China, which is entirely China's internal affairs. "I didn't invite you to provoke you. Why should you move me?" Rough? What does it matter to you?" He quoted Cantonese again, referring to the spoken language that Hong Kong people like to say: "Are you mistaken? It's your business!"
Zhang Xiaoming pointed out that China is not intimidating. "The age when Chinese people look at their faces and breathe their breath is gone forever."
