The Commissioner’s Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong felt extremely indignant and strongly protested this, and emphasized that the United States, waving a big stick of sanctions, would eventually shoot itself in the foot.

The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office stated in the statement that the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress formulated the Hong Kong National Security Law to address the relevant legal loopholes and to target a very small number of behaviors and activities that seriously endanger national security. It safeguards national sovereignty, unity and scale integrity, and Hong Kong’s With long-term prosperity and stability, relevant legislation does not affect Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents’ legal ownership, and the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors in Hong Kong.

Criticizing the U.S. for trying its best to discredit "will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history"

The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office criticized the U.S. for its efforts to smear and attack Hong Kong’s National Security Law, and issued a so-called slogan against relevant departments of the central government and many Hong Kong officials. This is a naked hegemonic act and a gross violation of international law and international relations. Arrogant, unreasonable, and shameless will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history."

The statement stated that facts fully prove that the US is the disruptor, disruptor and saboteur of the "One Country, Two Systems" practice and Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. It emphasizes that the Chinese people have never been afraid of sanctions, intimidation and threats from any external forces. China firmly opposes the United States and other external forces. The determination to intervene in Hong Kong affairs and correct any external forces such as the United States to use Hong Kong to infiltrate and subvert China is as firm as a rock and cannot be shaken. "Any intimidation and threats from the United States are doomed to destruction and will be self-defeating."

The Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong: No external forces have the right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs

The Commissioner’s Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong stated that the US hysterically slandered, attacked and discredited Hong Kong’s national security laws, angrily imposed so-called sanctions on the heads of the Chinese government’s Hong Kong-related work agencies and the SAR government’s law enforcement. His efforts have fully exposed his gloomy psychology of "unwilling others to install security doors," exposed his arrogant and hegemonic violation of the principles of international law and the basic principles of international relations, and exposed his hypocritical lies of "maintaining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong."

The spokesman emphasized that no external forces have the right to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. The Hong Kong SAR has the strong backing of the motherland. Any attempt to disrupt Hong Kong will not succeed. No threat, pressure or sanctions will prevent the steady and long-term implementation of "One Country, Two Systems."
