In response to some members of the European Parliament writing to the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to interfere in Hong Kong’s rule of law and intervene in Hong Kong affairs, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition, pointing out that the so-called open letter is full of absurdity and absurdity. The indiscriminate right and wrong, and the inversion of black and white, once again exposed the ignorance and prejudice, hypocrisy and arrogance of these people on Hong Kong issues. A spokesperson for

said that these European Parliament members have beautified the national scum who have been with foreign countries for a long time and engaged in treason and rebellion in Hong Kong into "democracy fighters", and they have organized, planned, and participated in "illegal assemblies" and turned them into extreme violent activities. The illegal acts beautified as "peaceful demonstrations" and the SAR police's legitimate law enforcement actions are denigrated as "political prosecutions," which once again exposed their entangled and embarrassing nature with Hong Kong's anti-China and Hong Kong forces. Under the guise of "democracy," "freedom," and "rule of law," these people are doing ugly deeds that condone violence, shield crime, undermine the rule of law, and damage the freedom and rights of most Hong Kong citizens. They hypocritically expressed their desire to reduce tensions and cooperate to fight the epidemic, but they ignored the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and the overall interests of the public, and nakedly intervened, pressured and intimidated the SAR government in accordance with the law, spreading political viruses that provoke political confrontations and exacerbate tensions. The

spokesperson pointed out that Hong Kong is an international financial center, but first of all it is a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Hong Kong Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the People’s Republic of China, as the central government’s dedicated department for handling Hong Kong affairs, have the right to represent the central government and exercise supervision over major issues involving the relationship between the central government and the SAR, the correct implementation of the Basic Law, the normal operation of the political system, and the overall interests of society. , Pay attention to and show a serious attitude. This is not only a need to perform due diligence, but also a power conferred by the Constitution and the Basic Law. The above-mentioned congressmen ignore international law and the basic norms of international relations, unscrupulously support the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong, trampling on the rule of law and judicial independence of the SAR, and arbitrarily interfering in the administration of the SAR government in accordance with the law. This is a gross interference in China's internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs and a high degree of interference in Hong Kong. The serious threats to autonomy, prosperity and stability severely undermine the principle of "one country, two systems" and the spirit of the Basic Law. The

spokesperson warned the relevant legislators to abide by the basic norms of international law and international relations, recognize the reality that Hong Kong has long returned to China, stop grandstanding political performances and futile intervention and pressure, stop undermining the rule of law and judicial independence in Hong Kong, and stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China internal affairs.
