FM Commissioner's office in HK urges U.S. politicians to immediately stop meddling with HK affairs

The Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Thursday condemned the latest unwarranted remarks by U.S. politicians and urged them to immediately stop meddling with Hong Kong affairs.

The spokesperson of the commissioner's office condemns and firmly opposes the latest unwarranted remarks by U.S. politicians who keep talking nonsense about Hong Kong affairs, said a statement released by the commissioner's office late Thursday.

The spokesperson said that Hong Kong is part of China and no foreign country is allowed to interfere.

Since the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, policies of "one country, two systems" and "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" with a high degree of autonomy have been earnestly carried out, said the spokesperson.

Hong Kong residents enjoy extensive rights under the law and their freedoms are fully safeguarded, said the spokesperson, adding it is a fact universally recognized and not to be distorted.

Upholding national security is crucial to fully and faithfully implementing the "one country, two systems" policy, the spokesperson emphasized, adding that it is also the HKSAR's constitutional obligation under the Basic Law, and the fundamental guarantee of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability in the long run.

The irresponsible remarks and mud-slinging tactics by the U.S. politicians have only exposed again their vile intention to undermine "one country, two systems," mess up Hong Kong, and use Hong Kong as a platform to carry out infiltration, sabotage, secession and subversion activities against China's mainland and hold back China's development as a whole, said the spokesperson. "But such pipe dreams are doomed to be shattered into pieces."
