In view of the above problems, Zhao said that the US Senate, regardless of China's solemn position, insisted on deliberating and passing negative bills concerning Hong Kong, maliciously slandered Hong Kong's national security legislation, seriously interfered in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs, and violated international law and the basic norms of international relations. China resolutely opposes this and has made solemn representations to the US.
Zhao pointed out that Hong Kong's national security legislation aims at safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, ensuring Hong Kong's long-term stability, prosperity and stability, and ensuring that the practice of "one country, two systems" is stable and far-reaching. Hong Kong affairs are the internal affairs of China, and no foreign country has the right to interfere. China government is determined to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.
Zhao Li emphasized that no matter how vociferous the separatist forces in Hong Kong are, and no matter how pressured by external anti-China forces, China's determination and actions to promote national security legislation in Hong Kong cannot stop. Their plot is doomed to failure, and the relevant bill is also a piece of waste paper. Zhao said: "We urge the US to recognize the situation clearly and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs in any way.
It is not allowed to consider and implement the negative motion about Hong Kong, nor is it allowed to impose so-called "sanctions" on China on this ground. Otherwise, China will take resolute and effective countermeasures, and all the consequences will be entirely borne by the US. "
Extended data:
Recently, the US Senate passed the so-called "Hong Kong autonomy law" in an attempt to obstruct the national security legislation involving Hong Kong by means of "sanctions". This practice violates international law and the basic norms of international relations, further exposes the double standards and robber logic of the United States, and is a blatant interference in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs.
Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong. Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and no external forces are allowed to interfere. National security legislation is the power and responsibility of China government, and it is also an international practice. The national security legislation concerning Hong Kong is aimed at a very small number of acts and activities that seriously endanger national security. Legislation concerning Hong Kong's national security is the fundamental solution to push Hong Kong out of the chaotic predicament and achieve long-term stability.
It always emphasizes "punishing the few and protecting the vast majority". People who are really afraid of it are "very few". The United States makes irresponsible remarks and quarrels endlessly, just trying to impress this "very few" platform. The United States slandered the China government for "undermining" the high degree of autonomy of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, completely turning black and white, and deceiving others too much. Behind a series of operations in the United States, the purpose is extremely strong.
The United States has been fanning the flames since last year's "law-amending storm" in Hong Kong. On the one hand, it has always encouraged "black violence" and "speculation" in cold blood, and on the other hand, it has blatantly interfered in China's internal affairs with domestic laws. First, the so-called "Hong Kong Human Rights Democracy Act" was introduced, and this time, the so-called "Hong Kong Autonomy Act" was concocted. In desperation, he intervened in a high-profile way, deliberately adding chaos to Hong Kong and adding obstacles to China.
The United States has even made no secret of treating Hong Kong as a "bastion of freedom" for decades, trying to change the social system in mainland China with the "Hong Kong model". In fact, the United States does not care about the degree of autonomy of Hong Kong, nor does it care about the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. The so-called "democracy" and "freedom" are just a cover for their abuse of hegemony.
Behind the consistent "double standards", the United States also has realistic considerations. In the 20 19 report on global terrorism, the United States claimed that "black violence" in Hong Kong was not terrorism. Now that racial discrimination has caused riots in the United States, the United States immediately labeled itself as "local terrorism." This naked double standard is extremely hypocritical and chilling.
With the approach of the American election, some politicians try to win votes by using the old tricks of "tossing the pot" and interfering in Hong Kong affairs, in an attempt to divert domestic contradictions and cover up their incompetence. The so-called "sanctions" in the United States are doomed to be shooting themselves. There is a lot of business cooperation between the United States and Hong Kong. The United States has 85,000 citizens, more than 65,438+0,300 enterprises, nearly 300 regional headquarters and more than 400 regional offices in Hong Kong. In the past 10 years, the United States achieved the highest trade surplus among its global trading partners in Hong Kong. If the United States goes its own way, it will only harm its own economic interests. Trying to profit from it by mixing the water in Hong Kong will only be scarred in the end. The repeated obstruction by the United States once again highlights the necessity and urgency of Hong Kong's national security legislation.
Only by filling the loopholes in the legal system and the enforcement mechanism can the plot of external forces to disrupt Hong Kong not succeed. At present, the national security legislation involving Hong Kong is progressing steadily. The vast majority of Hong Kong people are eager for Hong Kong to get back on track under the protection of the law. Nearly 3 million Hong Kong people recently signed the signature action of "supporting national security legislation", and most foreign businessmen sincerely welcome the legislation.
Over 1.28 million Hong Kong people participated in the online joint signing of "anti-American and other external forces intervention". This fully shows that people's hearts are back to back. The China government is determined to promote legislation on national security. The future and destiny of Hong Kong has always been in the hands of 6,543,804 million China people, including our compatriots in Hong Kong. The so-called "bill" in the United States is tantamount to a piece of waste paper.
