The European Union issued a statement yesterday (9th) condemning Beijing for amending Hong Kong's electoral system and will consider sending a high-level delegation to Hong Kong for inspection.
The SAR government issued a statement tonight (10th) stating that it firmly opposes the misleading remarks and ulterior intentions made by the EU to improve the electoral system.
The government emphasizes that it is timely and necessary to improve the electoral system. "Anti-China forces disrupting Hong Kong have created chaos in the Legislative Council, paralyzed the operation of the SAR government, and even colluded with external forces to harm Hong Kong's security and interests. No country or government will ignore the above-mentioned harm. "
The government spokesman also pointed out that the EU used human rights, democracy, and autonomy as an excuse to use the Hong Kong issue to create troubles against China and act hypocritical.

The government spokesperson said that the central government has improved the electoral system at the national level with the aim of plugging loopholes and defects in the current system, and building a democratic system with Hong Kong characteristics that is in line with the actual situation of Hong Kong and is compatible with the practical requirements of "One Country, Two Systems", so that Hong Kong can get back on track. , Set out the chaos anyway.
Regarding the alleged weakening of "One Country, Two Systems", the spokesperson said that he would never agree, and instead pointed out that "One Country, Two Systems" is the best institutional arrangement for ensuring Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
The spokesperson stated that the implementation of "One Country, Two Systems" is based on the Constitution and the Basic Law, not the "China-UK Joint Declaration". The UK's commitment is not an international obligation.
The spokesperson believes that after the implementation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law", Hong Kong society has restored stability, national security is guaranteed, and human rights and freedoms are also protected by the Basic Law.
As for the EU’s allegations of criticizing the arrest of democrats, the spokesperson said that law enforcement agencies took enforcement actions based on evidence, in accordance with the law and the actions of relevant individuals, and emphasized that it has nothing to do with political stance, background or occupation.
The spokesman pointed out that it would be against the rule of law if people with certain political backgrounds can override the law. "The international community should face this fact squarely and stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs that are China's internal affairs."
