HONG KONG - The Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese foreign ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Saturday strongly disapproved of and firmly rejected the so-called "2023 Hong Kong Policy Act Report" issued by the US government and the statement made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

They discredited the successful practice of "one country, two systems," the national security law in Hong Kong and Hong Kong's new electoral system, and slandered the rule of law, democracy, freedom and human rights in Hong Kong, said a spokesperson for the office.

They also interfered in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs at large, and violated principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson pointed out that the naked double standard and bullying acts of the United States only exposed its dark mentality of seeking to disrupt Hong Kong, and its ulterior motive of using Hong Kong to contain China under the guise of democracy, human rights and the rule of law

The spokesperson said that the Chinese government has always fully, faithfully and resolutely implemented the principles of "one country, two systems" and "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy."

Under the national security law in Hong Kong and the new electoral system, Hong Kong's public order is restored, the rule of law safeguarded, justice upheld, and lawful rights of Hong Kong residents better protected in a safer environment, the spokesperson said.

With patriots administering Hong Kong, the city has now moved into greater prosperity and opened a new chapter in good governance, the spokesperson said, adding that Hong Kong residents are living a happier life and global investors are casting their votes of confidence in Hong Kong with concrete actions.

The spokesperson stressed that no one has the privilege to be above the law, and no rights and freedoms should damage the public interest.

The rule of law and judicial independence in Hong Kong are constitutionally guaranteed by the basic law, and the police and judiciary of the SAR both act in strict accordance with law, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson pointed out that the naked double standard and bullying acts of the United States only exposed its dark mentality of seeking to disrupt Hong Kong, and its ulterior motive of using Hong Kong to contain China under the guise of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
