According to the news released by the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong on the 17th, the so-called“Hong Kong sanctions Bill” has been thrown out against individual U.S. senators again recently, a spokesman for the office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in Hong Kong expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the threats and intimidation against central government officials, HKSAR government officials and judicial prosecutors.
The“Hong Kong sanctions Bill” proposed by US Senators calls for the review of a number of Chinese officials and the imposition of sanctions in accordance with US law, the South China Morning Post reported Monday. Reported that in January this year, members of the U. S. Congress introduced a similar bill to dozens of Chinese officials, judges and prosecutors to impose sanctions.
A spokesman for the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong said on the 17th that under the protection of Hong Kong’s National Security Law, Hong Kong’s social order is well maintained, the rule of law is safeguarded, justice is upheld and citizens’ legitimate rights are better protected. The HKSAR judicial prosecutors handle cases impartially and independently in accordance with the law, in accordance with their statutory functions and powers, and in accordance with statutory procedures. By brandishing the stick of sanctions, threatening to intimidate officials of the central government and the SAR government, as well as judicial prosecutors, individual us politicians blatantly trample on legal justice and attempt to grossly interfere in Hong Kong’s affairs and China’s internal affairs, it is a gross violation of the principles of international law and the basic norms governing international relations and a blatant act of coercion and bullying.
A spokesman for the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong stressed that the Chinese side is unswerving in its determination to fully and accurately implement the “One Country, Two Systems policy” and safeguard China’s sovereignty, security and development interests. We urge individual politicians in the United States to recognize the unstoppable trend of the rule and prosperity of Hong Kong, immediately give up the political manipulation of playing the“Bill Card”, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs in any way, otherwise there will be a heavy price to pay.
The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the 17th proposed a so-called“Bill” by a US senator to examine the inclusion of a number of judges and prosecutors of the Department of justice on the so-called“Sanctions” list, my country strongly condemns the attempt to intimidate the personnel of the special administrative region concerned in the maintenance of national security. A spokesman for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said, “The HKSAR is contemptuous of the so-called ‘sanctions’ , and will continue to unswervingly fulfill its responsibility to safeguard national security without fear of any intimidation. “The HKSAR Government strongly urges these US politicians to come to terms with the facts, immediately stop their actions that are not in accordance with international law and the basic norms of international relations, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs that are purely China’s internal affairs.”
The Foreign Ministry announced in April that China had decided to impose sanctions on US lawmakers, officials and non-governmental organization who had behaved badly on Hong kong-related issues.
