12 Hong Kong residents were arrested by the Chinese Coast Guard on suspicion of smuggling into Taiwan and are being detained in Yantian, Shenzhen.
The "Xinhua News Agency" published a commentary, claiming that Hong Kong opposition legislators "wantastically distort hype" and "the real purpose is to incite Hong Kong society's dissatisfaction with the SAR government and hatred of the Mainland."
"Xinhua News Agency" published an article entitled "The Absurd Logic and Sinister Intentions of Consumption of "Twelve Illegal Immigrants"", which pointed out that the legal systems in the Mainland and Hong Kong are different. Hong Kong currently does not have a legal mechanism for surrendering fugitives to the Mainland. The Mainland has the right to follow its own rules. Regulations conduct detention, trial and punishment.
He also said that after the incident, the SAR government closely followed up and provided feasible assistance to these Hong Kong residents under the principle of respecting the local judicial system. "What they did was reasonable and beyond reproach."
Alleged that the family members were "planned and encouraged" by opposition members to report the case
The article stated that "under the planning and agitation" of opposition lawmakers, the families of the arrested Hong Kong people first called a press conference to ask the mainland to hand over 12 people to Hong Kong, and then asked the SAR government to put pressure on the mainland police.
Even family members, accompanied by opposition members, went to the Hong Kong Police Headquarters to report the case, confuses the public, and said that cases that should be handled by the Mainland can be registered in Hong Kong.
The article said these actions were illegal and unreasonable.

The article stated that the opposition’s alarmist talks created social panic and provoked Hong Kong people’s resentment towards the SAR government and hatred towards the Mainland. It also stated that “they don’t really want to provide assistance at all, but for political self-interest, they are consuming and using these 12 nakedly. Hong Kong people and their families".
