A government spokesman said, "The two bills are unreasonable. Among them, the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and Democracy is named after human rights and democracy, but in fact some of the provisions relate to export control and Hong Kong's implementation of United Nations sanctions. They are fundamentally related to human rights and democracy in Hong Kong. Nothing. The two bills will send the wrong message to demonstrators and will not help ease the situation in Hong Kong. "

The spokesman also stated, "The United States has huge economic benefits in Hong Kong, including the highest bilateral trade surplus earned from Hong Kong in the United States among its global trading partners over the past decade, which alone exceeded $ 33 billion last year. The United States unilaterally changed its Hong Kong's economic and trade policies will have a negative impact on the relationship between the two sides and the interests of the United States. In addition, Hong Kong and the United States have always cooperated closely in export control and law enforcement. "

The SAR government hopes that the United States government will adopt a pragmatic attitude, relying on the reciprocal relationship between Hong Kong and the United States and the interests of the United States in Hong Kong, maintain its economic and trade policies and principles, and continue to respect Hong Kong's status as a separate customs territory.
