The National People's Congress passed the enactment of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law." President Trump recently threatened to abolish special preferential treatment for Hong Kong trade and sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials. A spokesman for the Liaison Office said today (1st) that he strongly opposes Trump's remarks and strongly urges the US to correct its wrongdoing, referring to the US's trade surplus with Hong Kong in the past 10 years, which has accumulated nearly US$300 billion. The Hong Kong policy is of no benefit to the United States itself. It is completely lifting stones and hitting its own feet.

A spokesman for the Liaison Office said that safeguarding national security is a legitimate act of all sovereign countries in the world. Hong Kong’s national security legislation is entirely China’s internal affairs, and no foreign country has the right to interfere. "The United States has everything in its own national security legislation. However, it is unreasonable to accuse China of repairing the legal loopholes of Hong Kong to maintain national security, and even threaten with sanctions. It really makes no sense! Consistently."

The Liaison Office said that Hong Kong is an international financial, trade and shipping center and has an important place in the international economic landscape. Its status as an independent customs zone is determined by the World Trade Organization and is not given unilaterally by individual countries, let alone Shaken by the unilateral actions of individual countries. While the National Security Legislation fixes loopholes in Hong Kong’s national security, it will also improve Hong Kong’s social business environment and help increase investor confidence.

The spokesman also pointed out that the United States has huge economic interests in Hong Kong. There are 85,000 U.S. citizens living in Hong Kong and more than 1,300 U.S. companies operating in Hong Kong, of which more than 700 are corporate headquarters or regional offices. The U.S. trade surplus with Hong Kong accumulates nearly US$300 billion. The unilateral change in U.S. policy toward Hong Kong is not beneficial to the U.S. itself, it is completely a stone throwing its feet."

Scold the United States for viewing Hong Kong as a pawn to curb China's development

The spokesman said that the United States threatened to impose sanctions on Hong Kong’s national security legislation. “It just proves that their concern is not Hong Kong’s democracy and freedom, nor the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong, but the use of Hong Kong as a pawn to curb China’s development.” Hong Kong's national security legislation opposes the urgency and necessity of interference by external forces.

The full text of the spokesperson of the Liaison Office is as follows

A spokesman for the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region made a remark against US President Trump’s recent accusations against China’s Hong Kong-related national security legislation and threatened to cancel preferential treatment for Hong Kong trade. He strongly urged the US to correct this wrong practice. The spokesman said that the US hegemonic act on Hong Kong affairs is not only not beneficial to itself, but it cannot stop Hong Kong from ushering in a greater development trend.

　　The spokesman pointed out that safeguarding national security is a legitimate act of all sovereign countries in the world. Hong Kong’s national security legislation is entirely China’s internal affairs, and no foreign country has the right to interfere. The United States is omnipresent and secretive in its own national security legislation, but it accuses China of repairing Hong Kong’s legal loopholes to maintain national security and even threatens with sanctions. The U.S. ignored the basic principles of modern international law and the basic norms of international relations, and has long violently interfered in Hong Kong affairs, which has fully exposed its consistent international hegemonism. We strongly condemn and firmly oppose this.

　　The spokesman emphasized that Hong Kong is an international financial, trade and shipping center and has an important place in the international economic landscape. Its status as an independent customs zone is determined by the World Trade Organization and is not given unilaterally by individual countries, let alone Individual countries were shaken by unilateral actions. While the National Security Legislation fixes loopholes in Hong Kong’s national security, it will also improve Hong Kong’s social business environment and help increase investor confidence. The spokesman pointed out that the United States has huge economic interests in Hong Kong. There are 85,000 U.S. citizens living in Hong Kong, more than 1,300 U.S. companies operating in Hong Kong, and more than 700 of them are corporate headquarters or regional offices. Over the past decade, the US trade surplus with Hong Kong has accumulated to nearly US$300 billion. The unilateral change of the US policy toward Hong Kong is not beneficial to the US itself. It is entirely a stone throwing its feet.

　　The spokesman said that the US threatened to impose sanctions on Hong Kong’s national security legislation, which just proved that their concern was not Hong Kong’s democracy and freedom, nor the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong, but the use of Hong Kong as a pawn to curb China’s development. National security legislation opposes the urgency and necessity of external forces to intervene. As some people of insight in Hong Kong said when they commented on the recent domestic unrest in the United States, those few Hong Kong people who have been begging for US intervention and sanctions should take a good look at the huge double standards of the United States when dealing with domestic and international issues. Their dreams should wake up Too.

　　The spokesman emphasized that Hong Kong’s achievements today stem from the hard work of generations of Hong Kong citizens, and from the huge advantages of backing the motherland. It has never been a gift or alms from any foreign country. The country has always been a strong backing for Hong Kong's prosperity and development. No violent storms can overturn the sea, nor can it stop Hong Kong from continuing to integrate into the country, contribute to the country, and gain more room for development. As long as all walks of life work together, Hong Kong will surely continue to cut through the waves, stand on the tide, and usher in new and greater development!
