U.S. Extends "Safe Harbor" Program for Hong Kong Residents

The United States has extended the "delayed forced departure" treatment for Hong Kong residents living there for 24 months until February 2025.

The SAR government issued a statement today (27th) expressing its strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to the U.S. deliberate smearing of the "Hong Kong National Security Law" without factual basis. , fully revealing sinister intentions and bullying brutality."

The statement pointed out that national security belongs to the central authority, and every country has the responsibility and right to maintain national security. The United States also has a large number of national security laws, but it still wantonly slanders the "National Security Law" and deliberately ignores the "National Security Law". The return to normal and the recovery of the business environment are obviously out of political motives, a hypocritical act of double standards, and a despicable trick in which politics overrides the law.

The Hong Kong government pointed out that Hong Kong's law enforcement agencies have always taken law enforcement actions based on evidence, strictly in accordance with the law, and in accordance with the behavior of relevant persons, institutions or organizations, regardless of their political stance, background or occupation. The US criticism is a malicious fabrication. Rights and freedoms of speech have no basis in fact.

The Hong Kong government strongly urges the U.S. government to stop actions that are inconsistent with international law and basic norms governing international relations, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong SAR affairs.
