The anti-revision of the "Fugitive Offenders Ordinance" has placed Hong Kong in an international political vortex. The government issued a statement tonight (6th), referring to the recent dissemination of false statements overseas by members of the Legislative Council and other political figures, and urging foreign governments or parliaments to interfere in Hong Kong. I am deeply sorry about the issue. The draft refers to the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and Democracy recently passed by the United States, criticizing some politicians for supporting the bill, and at the same time pushing other countries or regions to pass similar laws requiring foreign involvement in Hong Kong affairs, which will only further increase violence. Demonstrators sent the wrong message, "These politicians must bear the responsibility for the worsening of social chaos." They also said that if Hong Kong's international reputation was damaged, it could shake investor confidence and put Hong Kong's economy under greater pressure. It would be Hong Kong that would suffer Society and the general public.

The government issued a draft tonight, advising some politicians to stop asking other governments or Congress to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. According to the press release, in the past few months, many peaceful demonstrations and public activities have finally turned into violent and illegal impacts, causing damage to areas and people's livelihood facilities. Some politicians in Hong Kong support the "Hong Kong Bill of Rights and Democracy" of the United States, and at the same time promote other countries or regions to pass similar legislation and require foreign intervention in Hong Kong affairs. They will only further send false messages to violent protesters, making the mob mistakenly believe that they have obtained other countries or regions. The government believes that "these politicians must bear the responsibility for worsening social chaos."

The government also said that since June, there have been more than 900 demonstrations, processions and public meetings in Hong Kong. Some politicians can freely participate in these meetings and processions and receive media interviews without any restrictions, but they keep criticizing the government for suppressing freedom. , Think this is "extremely ironic." A government spokesman believes that many people who disagree with the government have participated in the current District Council elections and were successfully elected, which precisely reflects that their rights and freedoms have not been suppressed.

The government finally advised that politicians who wantonly discredit Hong Kong should cherish Hong Kong's freedom, society should say no to violence, persuade demonstrators to express their views in a peaceful way, stop turning peaceful demonstrations into violence, and stop depriving others who disagree with them The freedom of citizens to lead a normal life. Considering that irresponsible politicians making biased and false statements about Hong Kong's human rights and freedoms situation mislead people's rights and freedoms in Hong Kong, and once Hong Kong's reputation is damaged, investor confidence may be shaken. This puts Hong Kong's economy under greater pressure.

U.S. President Trump has officially signed the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and Democracy, which will require the president to formulate a list of sanctions and impose sanctions on those who erode Hong Kong ’s autonomy and the rule of law by refusing to enter the country and freezing assets in the United States.
