Commentary Hai mentioned that this case is handled in accordance with the law. The 12 people involved are all wanted in Hong Kong, suspected of manufacturing or possessing explosives, arson, conspiracy to injure people, riots, and assault on police. The Hong Kong opposition and some British and American politicians have To use this as a "bullet" to distort and discredit them, to package them as so-called "democrats", to repeatedly consume their family members, to reverse black and white, to confuse right and wrong, only to incite dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong government and hatred of the Mainland. As for 12 Hong Kong people The interests of his family members are not in their consideration at all.
The commentary concluded that some politicians in the United Kingdom and the United States ignored the most basic legal principles and facts and arbitrarily interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. When they encountered illegal immigration cases, they severely cracked down on them. However, when China handled cases in accordance with laws and regulations, they criticized it. To go through to the end is a gross trampling on the principle of the rule of law and international norms.
This case is enough to become a mirror. It not only reflects the fact that the mainland judicial organs handled the case according to law, but also reflects the sinister intentions and ugly faces of the Hong Kong opposition and the British and American politicians behind it.
