After the National People's Congress of China voted and passed the "Decision on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's Electoral System (Draft)" on March 11, many countries issued statements to express their concerns.
Among them, the seven major industrial countries (G7) composed of the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan issued a joint statement yesterday (12th), stating that Hong Kong’s dissent continues to be suppressed.
The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong issued a document today (13), strongly dissatisfied with and resolutely opposed the statement made by a few Western countries, and criticized the statement for discrediting the decision of the National People's Congress to improve Hong Kong's election system and interfering in China's internal affairs.
The spokesperson emphasized that China is unwavering in its determination to fully and accurately implement "One Country, Two Systems". Any intervention in Hong Kong affairs is a wishful thinking.

The Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong pointed out that Western countries issued statements on Hong Kong's electoral system to denigrate the decision of the National People's Congress, grossly trampled on international law and basic norms of international relations, and interfered in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs. The spokesperson was strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this.
The spokesperson pointed out that the relevant decisions adopted by the National People's Congress reflect the determination of all Chinese people to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security, development interests and Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
The decision to plug the loopholes in the election system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, implement the fundamental principle of "Patriots governing Hong Kong", and improve "One Country, Two Systems" will also help maintain political stability and regime security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
In addition, the spokesperson said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government and all sectors of society have expressed support for the decision, which fully demonstrates that the improvement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region election system has won the hearts of the people and conformed to public opinion.
Improving the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region involves issues of power seizure and anti-power seizure
The spokesperson emphasized that the improvement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's electoral system is by no means a question of democracy and freedom, but a contest between seizure of power and counter-seizure, subversion and counter-subversion, infiltration and counter-infiltration.
The article criticized Western countries for pointing fingers at Hong Kong affairs under the guise of democracy and freedom, believing that statements and reports go against the facts, reverse right and wrong, and are full of double standards, with the intention of using Hong Kong as a chess piece to contain China's development.
The spokesperson reiterated that improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s electoral system is purely China’s internal affair. China’s determination to fully and accurately implement "One Country, Two Systems" is unwavering, opposes any interference in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs by external forces, and calls on external forces to abide by the basic norms of international law and international relations. Stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs.
