A spokesperson for the Office of the Commissioner’s Office said that the Hong Kong National Security Law filled the loopholes in Hong Kong’s national security maintenance, ended the rampant "Hong Kong independence", and reversed the chaos of "black violence". Hong Kong ushered in a major turning point from chaos to governance, and the practice of "one country, two systems" was unveiled. The new page also refers to facts that the Hong Kong National Security Law is a high-hanging sword to a very small number of anti-China and Hong Kong elements who endanger national security, and it is a "patron saint" to most law-abiding Hong Kong citizens and foreigners. The rights and freedoms enjoyed are effectively protected.
To criticize the United States for fear that Hong Kong will not be chaotic, and to try to contain China's development
The spokesperson pointed out that the United States ignores the fact that the situation in Hong Kong is stabilizing and improving, the mainstream public opinion that Hong Kong society reorganizes and starts again, and the international law principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. The central government and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government acted to bring order out of chaos, angrily to punish the central government and the SAR government officials, nakedly support the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong, and once again exposed the sinister intentions of the United States to fear that Hong Kong will not be chaotic and try to contain China's development.
However, the spokesperson emphasized that the wrong words and deeds of the United States cannot stop the steady and far-reaching historical trend of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong's integration into the national development strategy, and the broad prospects for new development, nor can it stop the 1.4 billion people including Hong Kong compatriots. The majestic power of the Chinese people to realize the great cause of national rejuvenation.
The spokesperson emphasized that Hong Kong is China’s Hong Kong. Hong Kong affairs are purely China’s internal affairs. The United States should correct its mistakes and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs in any way. China will continue to take resolute and effective measures to safeguard national sovereignty and security interests. Safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and related personnel.
