The US Consulate in Hong Kong issued a statement today (7th) that the "Hong Kong National Security Act" has brought a "chilling effect" to Hong Kong. The statement also disagreed that the Civic Party Chairman Liang Jiajie and Party Leader Yang Yueqiao were recently photographed meeting with the Consul General Hanscom Smith in Hong Kong. They were accused of "colluding with foreign forces" by the Civic Party. The accusations of "collusion" were absurd, and the duties of the consul general were emphasized. Meet with the establishment, the opposition and people from all walks of life to understand the situation in Hong Kong.

Liang Jiajie criticized the media for "making a fuss and making a fuss," and asked, "The secret meeting will go to the office again to show you a picture?"

The statement pointed out that the meetings between the US consulates in Hong Kong and Macau and people from all walks of life were "not secret or mysterious." It also stated that the consul general's duty is to meet people from all walks of life and different political camps to understand Hong Kong and help them understand the United States.

The statement pointedly pointed out that the accusation of "collusion with the representatives of the U.S. consulate" was absurd, reflecting the fact that the "Hong Kong National Security Act" might have ordered the pro-democracy activists to tighten the freedom of speech; it also reiterated that Hong Kong is part of China and supports " "One country, two systems" and "a high degree of autonomy" once again urge the Chinese government to abide by the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" to the people of Hong Kong and the international community.

Some media reported earlier that the US Consul General in Hong Kong, Mr. Smith, visited the lawyer's office of Citizen Party Chairman Liang Jiajie and met with Liang Jiajie and the party leader Yang Yueqiao for about an hour and a half.
